His righteousness
replaces my all my Sin
He exchanged His
Glory for my guilt
His joy has
displaced my mourning with rejoicing
What my turmoil has
destroyed he has rebuilt
Goodness and mercy
are becoming my new trait
His kindness
overcomes my enmity
A heart of Love is
beating now where there once was hate
And His Patience
has replaced anxiety.
And by his wounds
our wounds are healed
By his wounds our
wounds are healed
He became my
substitute, God’s perfect spotless lamb
His sacrifice has
taken all our sins
The obedient
sin-bearer bears the sin of ev’ry man
When he laid down
his life true life begins
He was forsaken I
was forgiven
Faithfulness is now
exchanged for infidelity
Self-control resides
now where my chaos reigned before
And God’s riches
have repealed my poverty
And though Death was
due me I was given life anew
Christ atoned for
sins when His blood was spilt
A reconciliation
realized by what he was born to do
And His sacrifice
has overcome my guilt.
And by his wounds
our wounds are healed
In this great
exchange true mystery is revealed
He became my
substitute, God’s perfect spotless lamb
His sacrifice atones
for all our sins
The obedient
sin-bearer bears the sin of ev’ry man
When he laid down
his life true life begins.
