There was One who was willing to die
|
|
| 1. | There was One who was willing to die |
| | in my stead, |
| | That a soul so unworthy might live, |
| | And the path to the cross He was |
| | willing to tread, |
| | All the sins of my life to forgive. |
| | They were borne on the cross, |
| | They were borne on the cross, |
| | O how much He was willing to |
| | bear! |
| | With what anguish and loss, |
| | Jesus went to the cross! |
| | But He carried my sins with Him |
| | there. |
| 2. | He is tender and loving and patient |
| | with me, |
| | While He cleanses my heart of its |
| | dross; |
| | But "there's no condemnation," I know |
| | I am free, |
| | For my sins were all borne on the |
| | cross. |
| 3. | I will cling to my Savior and never |
| | depart- |
| | I will joyfully journey each day, |
| | With a song on my lips and song in my |
| | heart, |
| | That my sins have been taken away. |
