And Can It Be

Verse 1

And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Saviour's blood
Died He for me who caused His pain
For me who Him to death pursued
Amazing love how can it be
That You my God should die for me
Amazing love how can it be
That You my God should die for me

Verse 2

What mystery here the Immortal dies
Who can explore His strange design
In vain the highest angel tries
To sound the depths of love divine
What mercy this let earth adore
Let angel minds enquire no more
What mercy this let earth adore
Let angel minds enquire no more

Verse 3

He left His Father's throne above
So free so infinite His grace
Humbled Himself in all His love
And bled for Adam's helpless race
What mercy this immense and free
For O my God it found out me
What mercy this immense and free
For O my God it found out me

Verse 4

Long my imprisoned Spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature's night
Then shone Your glorious gospel ray
I woke the dungeon flamed with light
My chains fell off my heart was new
I rose went forth and followed You
My chains fell off my heart was new
I rose went forth and followed You

Verse 5

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
Bold I approach the eternal throne
And claim the crown through Christ my own
