Lyrics

JESUS PAID THE PRICE
© Greg Alexander / Second Generation Music / BMI

DEATH HAD COME TO EDEN
MAN WAS DAMNED BY SIN
THE BLOOD STREAM THAT HAD GIVEN LIFE
NOW IS POISONED FROM WITHIN
PURE BLOOD COULD BRING ATONEMENT
FROM DEITY TO MAN
BUT WHO WOULD GIVE HIS LIFE'S BLOOD
TO BRING SALVATIONS PLAN

GOD NOW SEARCHED THROUGH HEAVEN
TO FIND A SACRIFICE
WHO WOULD GIVE HIS BLOOD AS RANSOM
AND PAY REDEMPTION'S PRICE
THEN HE FOUND HIS ONLY SON TO PAY THE DEBT YOU SEE
SO HE SENT HIM TO A SIN CURSED WORLD
TO DIE UPON A TREE

chorus : AND JESUS HUNG UPON THE CROSS
SUSPENDED THERE IN TIME
THERE HE BOUGHT THE SINS OF ADAM
ALONG WITH YOURS AND MINE
WELL THE DEBT HAS NOW BEEN CANCELED
PRAISE THE LORD I'VE BEEN SET FREE
JESUS PAID THE PRICE FOR YOU AND ME

A SOUL KNEELS AT AN ALTAR
HIS LIFE DESTROYED BY SIN
THE GUILT AND THE BURDEN SEEEMS SO GREAT
AS HE ASKS THE SAVIOR IN
BUT THIS BLOOD WHICH FLOWED AS RANSOM
STILL SAVES FROM SIN TODAY
AND THE SHACKLES OF SINS BONDAGE
BY THIS BLOOD THEY'RE WASHED AWAY

chorus :

JESUS PAID THE PRICE
JESUS PAID THE PRICE
JESUS PAID THE PRICE FOR YOU AND ME
