1. And can it be that I should gain An int’rest in the Savior's blood? Died He for me, who caused His pain? For me, who Him to death pursued?
Refrain: Amazing love! How can it be, That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me? Amazing love! How can it be, That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
2. He left His Father’s throne above So free, so infinite His grace! Humbled Himself and came in love, And bled for Adam's helpless race.
3. No condemnation now I dread; I am my Lord’s and He is mine; Alive in Him, my living Head, And clothed in righteousness divine.
