Song Lyrics
[Verse 1] And can it be that I should gain An interest in the Saviour\xe2\x80\x99s blood? Died He for me, who caused His pain For me, who Him to death pursued? Amazing love! How can it be, That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me? Amazing love! How can it be, That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me? [Verse 2] \xe2\x80\x99Tis mystery all: th\xe2\x80\x99 Immortal dies: Who can explore His strange design? In vain the firstborn seraph tries To sound the depths of love divine. \xe2\x80\x99Tis mercy all! Let earth adore, Let angel minds inquire no more. \xe2\x80\x99Tis mercy all! Let earth adore; Let angel minds inquire no more. [Verse 3] He left His Father\xe2\x80\x99s throne above So free, so infinite His grace Emptied Himself of all but love, And bled for Adam\xe2\x80\x99s helpless race: \xe2\x80\x99Tis mercy all, immense and free, For O my God, it found out me! \xe2\x80\x99Tis mercy all, immense and free, For O my God, it found out me! [Verse 4] Long my imprisoned spirit lay, Fast bound in sin and nature\xe2\x80\x99s night; Thine eye diffused a quickening ray I woke, the dungeon flamed with light; My chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed Thee. My chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed Thee. [Verse 5] No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, and all in Him, is mine; Alive in Him, my living Head, And clothed in righteousness divine, Bold I approach the eternal throne, And claim the crown, through Christ my own. Bold I approach the eternal throne, And claim the crown, through Christ my own. [Verse 1] And can it be that I should gain An interest in the Saviour\xe2\x80\x99s blood? Died He for me, who caused His pain For me, who Him to death pursued? Amazing love! How can it be, That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me? Amazing love! How can it be, That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me? [Verse 2] \xe2\x80\x99Tis mystery all: th\xe2\x80\x99 Immortal dies: Who can explore His strange design?
