And can it be that I should gain
An int'rest in the Savior's blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain?
For me, who Him to d**h pursued?
Amazing love how can it be that Thou
My God, shouldst die for me
Amazing love how can it be that Thou
My god shouldst die for me.
Long my imprisoned spirit lay fast bound
In sin and nature's night
Thine eye diffused a quick'ning ray:
I woke the dungeon flamed with light
My chains fell off, my heart was free
I rose, went forth, and followed thee
No condemnation now I dread:
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine
Alive in Him, my living head
And clothed in righteousness divine
Bold I approach th'eternal throne
And claim the crown, thru Christ my own
Amazing love how can it be, that thou
My God, shouldst die for me
