YOU TOOK UPON YOURSELF THE BLAME
You took upon Yourself my shame
You took upon Yourself so that I may be free
You came and gave Your life willingly
The greatest sacrifice fit for a King
You came and gave Your life so that I may be free
You’re worthy of honour, You’re worthy of praise
First and the last You’re my saving grace
You deserve the highest praise
All creation bows at the sound of Your name
All the angels sing, glory to the King
You’re worthy of honour, You’re worthy of praise
First and the last You’re my saving grace
You have no beginning You conquered the grave
The whole earth will resound and together we will sing
Glory, hallelujah, glory
Glory, hallelujah, glory
For all You’ve done the price You’ve paid
We’ll join in the song of the redeemed
