Death Should Have Been My Sentence

My merciful Savior I was dead and You chose to save me
Grace was given when death should have been my sentence
You died for me so I could find You and know You
Jesus my Savior King through Your immeasurable kindness
Came to earth to pour out Your blood and Your love for us
You were the perfect sacrifice when it should've been me
Jesus You were the perfect lamb to take my place
Your blood awakened my dead soul and made me alive
And Your grace, love, and mercy breathed life into me
What a gift that Your death and resurrection is
I am saved from the sinful life that I once lived
My sins kept me apart from You but Your love came
And by grace I have been saved through faith in my King
I am now a new creation and cant keep quiet about it
My life is no longer mine and I boast in my Jesus Christ
I lay it down as an offering pour me out as You need
Use me for Your glory and to bring Your kingdom here
Let me be a display of Your grace and Your mercy
Help me to walk in the direction of Your holiness
