And can it be that I should gain
An int\u2019rest in the Savior\u2019s blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain\u2014
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Refrain:
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He left His Father’s throne above,
So free, so infinite His grace;
Emptied Himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam’s helpless race;
‘Tis mercy all, immense and free;
For, O my God, it found out me. [Refrain]<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. [Refrain]<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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, through Christ my own. [Refrain]<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
