Verse 1 Did my Creator bleed for me? Did Sovereign Mercy die? To set a captive spirit free And answer every cry? Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! Grace unknown! And love beyond degree! Chorus It was there, at the cross, where I first saw the light, And the weight of my heart rolled away; It was there, by His grace, I received my sight, And now I am glad all the day! Verse 2 The sun in darkness hid its face And shut its glories in, When Christ, the mighty Maker, died To wash away my sin. Thus might I hide my blushing face While His dear cross appears, Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt my eyes to tears. Chorus It was there, at the cross, where I first saw the light, And the weight of my heart rolled away; It was there, by His grace, I received my sight, And now I am glad all the day! Verse 3 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away, It’s all that I can do. For every breath is now a gift, And every song a sign, Of how the Savior lifted me To walk in life divine. Chorus It was there, at the cross, where I first saw the light, And the weight of my heart rolled away; It was there, by His grace, I received my sight, And now I am glad all the day! Chorus It was there, at the cross, where I first saw the light, And the weight of my heart rolled away; It was there, by His grace, I received my sight, And now I am glad all the day!
