Before the world was formed A plan for love was born Before my soul knew the dark A healing hand held my heart When I was chained to my sin You spoke and freedom entered in Before I knew of your love My debt was paid, my ransom for your Blood Only the blood of Jesus Only the life You lived Washes the sin that stains us Making us whole again Only your blood King Jesus Only the empty tomb Breaking our chains you freed us Giving us life anew Your love, fully displayed You carried the weight of my mistakes Trusting the Father's will Led to be killed at Calvary's hill Your cross, an anthem of grace You bled and died in my place Taking my sin and my shame Laid in a tomb, engraved with my own name Oh precious is the flow That makes us white as snow No other fount I know Nothing but your blood The silence seemed to reign And then the third morning came The enemy trembled with fear Hearing the words, "He is not here..." Oh death where is your sting Oh grave where's your victory All power and glory belong To our risen king Making us whole again
