He Just Put Himself in My Place

Shall I tell you what brought me to Je­sus

What caused me to seek His bless­èd face?

It was this

that

to save and to cleanse me

He just put Him­self in my place.

He just put Him­self in my place

He just put Him­self in my place;

This is the Gos­pel sto­ry

To Je­sus the glo­ry

He just put Him­self in my place.

O

He felt all my load in the gar­den

My guilt He did car­ry on the tree;

I was lost

and con­demned un­to judg­ment

But my Lord Him­self died for me.

Soon He’s com­ing again from the glo­ry

The pro­phets of God on this agree;

And till then this to oth­ers I’m tell­ing

That for them He died as for me.
