Lyrics

You Took My Place (Copyright 2005 - Elisa Combs)

VERSE 1
Oh Lord my God, on the road Calvary
You carried a cross burdened with the sin in me.
Matchless love, love so astounding you gave the world that day.
You endured every nail that painfully pierced your flesh.
Then death gave way to new life and my forgiveness.
Oh glorious Savior, magnificent King.
Your love set me free!

CHORUS
Lord, you took my place on Calvary?s mountain.
You suffered to save my soul.
Because of you Lord, I can sing Hallelujah!
Giver of grace, glorious Lord, you took my place.

VERSE 2
My precious Lord, words cannot express
My joyful heart, full of thankfulness
For you?ve given me life, eternal life, because of your sacrifice.
It should have been me who suffered the pain and shame.
But you died on the cross so I could be saved.
You rescued my soul. Oh miraculous day!
Because you took my place.

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Glory to my wondrous King.
Jesus you bore my sins for me.
I give glory to my wondrous King.
Oh Jesus you bore my sins for me.

CHORUS 2
Lord you took my place on Calvary?s mountain.
You suffered to save my soul.
Because of you Lord, I can sing Hallelujah!
Giver of grace, glorious Lord, you took my place.
It?s because of you Lord, I can sing Hallelujah!
Giver of grace, glorious Lord, you took my place.
You took my place! You took my place!
