You Paid It All

There laid a price upon our heads
The cost of life required a death
Our enemy demanded blood
The sentence hanging over us
Was nailed with You upon the cross
Your remedy was Your love

And You You paid it all
And You You paid it all

Stole the fear that plagued our race
You tore the shadow from Your face
We run to You no need to hide
Such joy is rising from our hearts
With songs of praises to our God
For heaven’s gates are open wide

For You You paid it all
And You You paid it all

And why would You do this for us
To seek us out when we were lost
To love a world despising You
Lord You paid it all

You brought us home from distant lands
You called a feast and booked the band
Your arms embraced the prodigal
Lord You paid it all
