Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You were near though I was distant
Disillusioned I was lost and insecure
Still mercy fought for my attention
You were waiting at the door
Then I let You in
[Verse 2]
Trading Your life for my offenses
For my redemption
You carried all the blame
Breaking the curse of our condition
Perfection took our place
[Chorus]
When only love could make a way
You gave Your life in a beautiful exchange
[Verse 3]
My burden erased, my life forgiven
There is nothing that could take this love away
And my only desire, and my sole ambition
Is to love You just the same
[Chorus 2]
When only love could make a way
You gave Your life in a beautiful exchange
When only love could break these chains
You gave Your life in a beautiful exchange
[Bridge]
Holy are You God, holy is Your name
With everything I’ve got my heart will sing
How I love You
Our Thoughts
God’s amazing love for us is revealed in the cross of Christ. On the cross, an unthinkable exchange was made. He first loved us and we can only respond to His great love. All it takes is a revelation of the cross…..of His love.
