And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Savior's blood
Died He for me, who caused His pain
For me, who Him to death pursued

Amazing love, how can it be
That thou, my God, shouldst die for me
Amazing love, how can it be
That thou, my god shouldst die for me

Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fastbound in sin and nature's night
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray
I woke the dungeon flamed with light
My chains fell off, my heart was free
I rose, went forth, and followed thee
No condemnation now I dread
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine
Alive in Him, my living head
And clothed in righteousness divine
Bold I approach the eternal throne
And claim the crown through Christ my own

Amazing love, how can it be
That thou, my God, shouldst die for me
