It was the mercy of our God
Where all my hopes began
When through the water and the blood
He washed my soul from sin
For it was not my righteousness
That my own hands had done
But I was saved by sovereign grace
The bonding through His Son

In the cross my soul found rest
By Christ's wondrous sacrifice
For justice met with mercy then
And God was satisfied
And there my soul found rest

It was the Holy love of God
That took my penalty
The Judge and Savior gave Himself
For my iniquity
Then, from the fountain of His grace
I felt forgiveness flow
To wash away the deepest sins
My heart had ever known

In the cross my soul found rest
By Christ's wondrous sacrifice
For justice met with mercy then
And God was satisfied
For justice met with mercy then
Pure white mingled with red
As my Lord bled
And there my soul found rest
My soul found rest
My soul found rest
