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.
Chorus:
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 wretch 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
Chorus:
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 wretch like me
What love divine, he gave his life for mine.
Bridge:
He was despised and rejected, stripped of his garments and oppressed
I am loved and accepted and I wear a robe of righteousness
Chorus:
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 wretch like me
What love divine, he gave his life for mine.
It is amazing how such a simple thought can be such an awesome blessing when we take the time to apply it to our hearts, a perfect, sinless, righteous, loving savior, the very Son of God gave His life in exchange for mine, and the lives of all who will believe. Some people get so caught up in finding "new thoughts" and "new ideas" and "new perspectives" on Christianity in order to "feel something" in a church service. But we just need to take to heart what we already know, if all you know is Jesus Christ died for you and that your saved from Hell, Praise God for it! With all that we may learn or experience as Christians (for those who are saved) we must never let that simple thought become dull and average in our lives that "He gave His life for mine."
