David Leonard - By His Wounds Lyrics

When I couldn’t find redemption or revival

When I couldn’t find salvation in a song

When everything I had had hit rock bottom

And everyone I ever knew was gone

There was mercy waiting for me in the shadows

It was binding up this bruised and broken soul

He said leave behind that man of constant sorrow

Then He wrote my name in the greatest story told

And on that old rugged cross, where my Savior bore my scars

Perfect love destroyed my fears

An eternity of failures have been swallowed up forever

‘Cause by His wounds all of mine are healed

My debt’s been paid in full there’s no more ransom

There’s forgiveness flowing freely from His hands

By His torn up flesh and bone He is redeeming

And a sinner is no longer who I am

And on that old rugged cross, where my Savior bore my scars

Perfect love destroyed my fears

An eternity of failures have been swallowed up forever

‘Cause by His wounds all of mine are healed

There’s no looking back now

The grave’s been emptied out

The son of God defeated death and made a way

You can run to Him now

Go on and run to Him now

Child of God born again to bear His name

On that old rugged cross, where my Savior bore my scars

Perfect love destroyed my fears

Hey

An eternity of failures have been swallowed up forever

‘Cause by His wounds all of mine are healed

By His wounds all of mine are healed

Oh they’re healed
