Lyrics
VERSE 1
When Abel’s offering cost his life
When Moses struck the stone
When David stole Uriah’s wife
A lamb could not atone
But if they could have looked ahead in time
They’d see a spotless Lamb who took their crime
CHORUS
When Jesus took the law’s decree
That said that I was lost
He carried it up Calvary
And nailed it to His cross
VERSE 2
I stood before Mount Sinai
And heard God’s Holy Law
It showed me what I really was
I earned the wrath I saw
And when I heard the price I could not pay
Grace took me forward to another day
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
And when my sins are read on judgment day
I will not plead a thing except to say
That…
REPEAT CHORUS
