A Beautiful Exchange

A Beautiful Exchange

The cry of the Cross
Through bloodshed and pain
God's mercy triumphant
My wretchedness exchanged.

Rivers of God's grace
Cleansing my soul
Freed from condemnation
Creating me whole

All my sin and guilt
Cast upon the tree
Absolutely dealt with
Provision made for me.

God wrath wholly satisfied
At the final heartbeat
Total acceptance
The sacrifice complete.

Through the blood of Jesus
My righteousness proclaimed
Torrential outpouring
My liberty now claimed

My Heart now beats with passion
Ancient days now strange
A glorious new beginning
In this Beautiful Exchange.
