Lyrics

Verse 1
We did not bear the wounds that freed us
Or walk the road to Calvary
We did not share Your cup of suffering
And yet we share Your victory

Verse 2
We did not wear that heavy burden
Nor face the shame and agony
A crown of thorns was placed upon You
Now we are crowned with love and peace

Chorus
Praise the Lord, my God, now I am free
At the cross Your grace took hold of me
There You paid my debt, there You fought my fight
Yes, the battle was Yours and the blessing is mine

Verse 3
You chose to be a
man of sorrows
That I can be a child of God
You stood and faced this world’s rejection
I stand, accepted by Your love

Verse 4
My sin was buried with the Saviour
Now there is hope beyond the tomb
For You were raised again in glory
And I am raised to life in You
Forevermore to live with You!
