And Can It Be

And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Savior's blood
Died he for me? who caused his pain
For me? who him to death pursued
Amazing love! How can it be
That thou, my God, shouldst die for me

Chorus:
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
Emptied himself of all but love
And bled for Adam's helpless race
'Tis mercy all, immense and free
For O my God, it found out me

Long my imprisoned sprit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature's night
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light
My chains fell off, my heart was free
I rose, went forth, and followed thee

No condemnation now I dread
Jesus, and all in him, is mine
Alive in him, my living Head
And clothed in righteousnes divine
Bold I approach th' eternal throne
And claim the crown, through Christ my own
