He asked, in Gethsemane, if there's another way
If sin can be recompensed without His blood to pay
But silence answered as He prayed
The world did not speak as if to say
There was no other way
The narrow road that lies ahead
Was paved by ugly stings of death
That drew His blood at every tread
While thorns of sin, and guilt, and dread
He took it all upon His head
For every hurtful thought and word and deed
For every act compelled by pride and greed
Which every one must guilty plead
These are the burdens we’ve tried to hide
These blemishes we cannot justify
But these, Justice calls, to lay by His side
Redeemed by the blood of the crucified
He bore our shame to give us grace
And I can’t help but stand amazed He’s filled my heart, full of His praise
