Before the world was formed
A plan for love was born
Before my soul knew the dark
A healing hand held my heart
When I was chained to my sin
You spoke and freedom entered in
Before I knew of your love
My debt was paid, my ransom for your
Blood
Only the blood of Jesus
Only the life You lived
Washes the sin that stains us
Making us whole again
Only your blood King Jesus
Only the empty tomb
Breaking our chains you freed us
Giving us life anew
Your love, fully displayed
You carried the weight of my mistakes
Trusting the Father's will
Led to be killed at Calvary's hill
Your cross, an anthem of grace
You bled and died in my place
Taking my sin and my shame
Laid in a tomb, engraved with my own name
Oh precious is the flow
That makes us white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but your blood
The silence seemed to reign
And then the third morning came
The enemy trembled with fear
Hearing the words, "He is not here..."
Oh death where is your sting
Oh grave where's your victory
All power and glory belong
To our risen king
Making us whole again
