He Took My Place

Verse 1:

I was lost, I was broken,

Full of guilt, full of shame.

But You loved me, You chose me,

And You carried all my pain.

Chorus:

You took my place, You paid the price,

You gave Your life, so I’d have mine.

I don’t deserve this kind of love,

But still You came from up above.

You took my place, and set me free,

That’s how much You love me.

Verse 2:

I was empty, I was done,

Nowhere left for me to run.

But You found me, called me Yours,

And opened wide heaven’s doors.

Chorus:

You took my place, You paid the price,

You gave Your life, so I’d have mine.

I don’t deserve this kind of love,

But still You came from up above.

You took my place, and set me free,

That’s how much You love me.

Outro:

I’ll never earn it, I’ll never be,

But You still gave it all for me.

You took my place, and set me free —

That’s how much You love me.
