The Word alive and full of grace,
Jesus came to take my place.

My sin to bare and life to give,
That I might love and follow HIm.

He was pierced and shed His blood:
In my place of blame He stood.

So that I should live and reign*,
And not continue on my way.

To reign with Him way up on high,
Never again to fear, ... or cry.

I've made a choice to follow now,
I know that He wil help somehow.

He'll keep me on the path of life,
Yet I may face both pain and strife.

In the end I'll see His face, and
Thank the Lord who took my place.

* 2 Timothy 2:12
