There was One who was willing to die

There was One who was willing to die in my stead

That a soul so unworthy might live

And the path to the cross He was willing to tread

All the sins of my life to forgive.

They were borne on the cross

They were borne on the cross

O how much He was willing to bear!

With what anguish and loss

Jesus went to the cross!

But He carried my sins with Him there.

He is tender and loving and patient with me

While He cleanses my heart of its dross;

But “there’s no condemnation

” I know I am free

For my sins were all borne on the cross.

I will cling to my Savior and never depart—

I will joyfully journey each day

With a song on my lips and a song in my heart

That my sins have been taken away.
