And can it be that I should gain an int'rest in the Savior's blood?

Died he for me, who casued 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?

He left his Father's throne above

(so free, so infinite his grace!)

humbled himself (so great his love!)

and bled for Adam's helpless race.

'Tis mercy all, immense and free;

for, O my God, it found out me.

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?

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 th'eternal throne

and claim the crown, thru Christ my own.

Amazing love! How can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

-- Charles Wesley
