I will never be the same
now that I have seen the cross.
How you took up on yourself
the fullness of the wrath of God.
I may never understand
just what you suffered in my place.
Jesus, you who knew no sin,
how you were made sin for us.
And know how fierce the Father's anger.
And below you were pierced.
All the pain could not compare.
So dark
was the hour
when all heaven turned its face away,
turned its face away from you.
But how sweet,
how sweet
is your mercy as it finds its way to me.
I will never be the same
now that I have seen the cross.
And how you took up on yourself
the fullness of the wrath of God.
And I may never understand
just what you suffered in my place.
Jesus, you who knew no sin,
how you were made sin for us.
And know how
fierce
the Father's anger.
And below you were pierced.
All the pain could not compare.
So dark
was the hour
when all heaven turned its face away,
turned its face away from you.
But how sweet, how
sweet is your mercy as it finds its way
to me.
I will never be the same.
