A Song a Day #4: What Words

So the featured song of the day is "What Words". The basic concept is that I can't, as a human, explain God's actions or motives and there is no way that we can earn what He has so freely given us. Enjoy!  ~~Jackie~~

No one else showed mercy, none extended grace

But You who least deserved it, died and took my place

That’s not the end of the story; You’re not in that grave

You who took the nails for me, raised

And now reign in glory

Chorus: What words can express, what things can I do

            To repay what You’ve done, to say I love you

            I’d be a fool if I try, to justify Your sacrifice

            When all You ask of me is to believe and live for You

You saw me in my grave, didn’t turn away

Instead in your love, sacrificed your only son

On that cross you died bearing all my sins

Behind that stone you laid, the price for me was paid

You ascended to the sky now I have life eternal;

With that sacrifice, You’re satisfied, I’m justified, You raised and gave me life

Chorus

I was lost but now I’m found, was weighted down with chains

But I’m no longer bound, because Lord you took the blame

No words to express, nothing I can do

I’d be a fool if I try to justify Your sacrifice

But Lord I believe and live for You
