Easter Hymn of Praise

I am a sinner saved by grace

redeemed by the blood of the Savior

who bore my sins and took my place

Outragious love stretched across a tree

Sinless Lamb of God sacrificed for me

The price had been paid, the suffering cmplete

  He said, "It is finished" and took His last breath

And the Enemy cheered at the Savior's death

But His death was not final, it was not the end

If it had been we'd have no hope my friend

Look and empty tome, a risen Savior!

The Enemy trampled under His feet

All Heaven cheers at Satan's glorious defeat

This is my Easter hymn of praise

as I give thanks to the One

who gave Himself to set me free

and whose precious blood now covers me.
