His heart was broken, mine was mended He became sin, now I am clean. The cross he carried bore my burden. The nails that held him set me free. His life for mine, his life for mine How could it ever be? That he would die, God's son would die To save a retch like me What love divine, he gave his life for mine. His scars of suffering brought me healing He spilled his blood to fill my soul. His crown of thorns made me royalty His sorrow gave me joy untold His life for mine, his life for mine How could it ever be? That he would die, God's son would die To save a retch like me What love divine, he gave his life for mine. He was despised and rejected, stripped of his garments and oppressed I am loved and accepted and I wear a robe of righteousness His life for mine, his life for mine How could it ever be? That he would die, God's son would die To save a retch like me What love divine, he gave his life for mine.
