You took my place to hang on a tree,
start
The burdens Thou didst bear
start
The first and last is He
That I have set before you life and death,
Though men’s hands seized forcibly,
That my Jesus spilled
They wanted You crucified.
On the cruel cross He suffered,
Are You the One who came from heav’n?
And we are justified:
Thou didst measure then sin’s distance,
Is heading up the whole universe,
His blood poured out for us
Confessed and borne by Thee;
Jesus hath bled, and there is remission;
Yet He found me; I beheld Him
Where He displays His healing power
Lord of life! to death once subject;

curse

What made You die for me?
Therefore choose life that you and your seed may live,
And knows her guilt was there.
That I be blessed;
And we have perfect liberty
Therefore choose life,
Your face was set firm as flint—and yet,
Has no hold on me
You bled to save Your enemies.
Sing, oh, sing of my Redeemer,
And they pierced Your side.
We live, for Thou hast died.
Man-betrayed, by God forsaken;
In the divine economy
[VERSE 2]
To set Thy members free.
Christ hath redeemed us once for all.
Heard Him pray, Forgive them, Father,
In Him the tribes of Adam boast
Of Thy Father’s heart the object,
