It Should Have Been Me
It should have been me hanging on that cross
It should have been me who suffered all that loss
It should have been me who was whipped, spit on, shunned
It should have been me, instead it was Your Son.
I alone know my wicked evil heart
I alone know how I failed You from the start
I never earned Your precious saving grace
I don't deserve to ever see Your face.
And yet somehow You loved me in my sin
You sent Your Son to die and rise again
You could have left me there to die
But instead you chose me to justify.
I can't find words enough to praise Your name
You changed my heart and lit your burning flame
I love you Lord for your sacrifice
Thank you my Lord for saving my life.
Complete in me this work you have begun
Perfect me in the death and life of your Son
You are the author, finisher of my faith
Thank you for the undeserved grace.
