(Short
introduction)
(Verse 1)
There I stood condemned to die
For the
sin that I had done,
With the gavel of the Judge soon to fall.
Jesus took
my place instead,
For my sinful soul he bled,
There upon the cross He
gladly paid it all!
(Chorus)
Jesus died in my place,
He was
nailed by the hands of men
And hung there in disgrace.
Jesus died for my
sin,
Now reborn by His loving grace,
I gladly give my life to
Him.
(Verse 2)
As He hung upon the cross
Bearing all the
weight of sin,
Jesus blessed the hands that nailed Him to the
tree.
Looking far beyond His loss
To the crown that He would win,
And
the home he would
prepare for you and me.
(Repeat
Chorus)
Jesus died in my place,
He was nailed by the hands of
men
And hung there in disgrace.
Jesus died for my sin,
Now reborn by
His loving grace,
I gladly give my life to Him.
(Bridge)
And
as His blood was falling,
To the earth His life descending,
His love was
reaching to me,
Cleansing me from sin.
(Repeat Chorus)
Jesus
died in my place,
He was nailed by the hands of men
And hung there in
disgrace.
Jesus died for my sin,
Now reborn by His loving grace,
I
gladly give my life to Him.
(Raise Key and Repeat Chorus)
Jesus
died in my place,
He was nailed by the hands of men
And hung there in
disgrace.
Jesus died for my sin,
Now reborn by His loving grace,
I
gladly give my life to Him.
