His heart was broken, mine was mended
He became sin, now I am clean
The cross he carried bore my burden
The nails that held him set me free
His life for mine, his life for mine
How could it ever be?
That he would die, God's son would die
To save a wretch like me
What love divine, he gave his life for mine
His scars of suffering brought me healing
He spilled his blood to fill my soul.
His crown of thorns made me royalty
His sorrow gave me joy untold
His life for mine, his life for mine
How could it ever be?
That he would die, God's son would die
To save a wretch like me
What love divine, he gave his life for mine
He was despised and rejected, stripped of his garments and oppressed
I am loved and accepted and I wear a robe of righteousness
His life for mine, his life for mine
How could it ever be?
That he would die, God's son would die
To save a wretch like me
Like me
What love divine, he gave his life for mine (for mine)
