JESUS, YOU TOOK MY PLACE
Blind to Your atoning grace.
Wondrous was your love and mercy
I'm so glad you took my place.
As You stood in Pilate's judgment,
All my sins hurled in Your face,
You took all my guilt upon You.
I'm so glad You took my place.
"Twas for me You gave Your life blood;
Mocking men spit in Your face.
I deserved the cruel scourging -
I'm so glad You took my place.
See them put the crown upon You,
Press the thorns right down in place;
That should have been my punishment.
I'm so glad You took my place.
When You climbed up Calvary's mountain,
And the cross You did embrace,
You were sinless, I was guilty.
I'm so glad You took my place.
Hanging there mid earth and heaven,
Dying for the human race.
All my sins were nailed to Your cross
I'm so glad You took my place.
My poor heart was black and sinful;
I was such a hopeless case
Till in love You came and found me.
I'm so glad You took my place.
Did I ever thank You, Jesus
For Your matchless love and grace?
Oh, dear Lord, help me be thankful.
I'm so glad You took my place.
As I stand and gaze upon You,
All Your wondrous love I trace.
Now I know I bound for heaven;
I'm so glad You took my place.
