Verse 1
I was lost, so far from home,
Wandering roads I walked alone.
Shadows whispered I’d gone too far,
But mercy found me where I was.
Then I saw a cross upon that hill,
A crown of thorns, His blood spilled.
And in that moment I could see,
The Savior hung there just for me.
⸻
Chorus
He died for us, took all our pain,
Carried the world’s sin and shame.
Three long days, the grave stood still,
But love broke through, it always will.
He died for us, now we are free,
Chains are gone, we’re on our knees.
He gave His life, He paid the price,
So we could live through Jesus Christ.
⸻
Verse 2
Hands that healed were pierced by nails,
Love so strong it could never fail.
The sky grew dark, the earth did shake,
The veil was torn, heaven awake.
And when He cried, “It is done,”
The war was over, victory won.
No greater love the world has known,
Than God Himself upon that throne.
⸻
Chorus
He died for us, took all our pain,
Carried the world’s sin and shame.
Three long days, the grave stood still,
But love broke through, it always will.
He died for us, now we are free,
Chains are gone, we’re on our knees.
He gave His life, He paid the price,
So we could live through Jesus Christ.
⸻
Bridge (softly)
No greater love could ever be,
Than the cross at Calvary.
Every scar and every tear,
Whispers, “Child, I’m always near.”
Bridge (builds)
The stone rolled back, the tomb was bare,
The risen King no longer there!
Hope returned, the night was done,
The grave defeated — victory won!
⸻
Verse 3 (worshipful, slower)
Now I stand in awe and sing,
Of mercy wide and endless grace.
He called my name, I heard Him say,
“My child, you’re washed, your debt is paid.”
So I will live to lift His name,
To tell the world why Jesus came.
For every heart that’s lost and torn,
He died so we could be reborn.
⸻
Final Chorus (big and emotional)
He died for us, took all our pain,
Carried the world’s sin and shame.
Three long days, the grave stood still,
But love broke through, it always will.
He died for us, now we are free,
Chains are gone, we’re on our knees.
He gave His life, He paid the price,
So we could live through Jesus Christ.
⸻
Outro (quiet, prayerful)
Hallelujah, the King has come,
Hallelujah, the grave undone.
Hallelujah, forever we sing,
All glory, all honor — to our risen King.
