VERSE 1

On a hill in Israel 

Mercy spoke for me 

Mercy spoke for me 

Mercy spoke for me 


It was on Golgotha's tree 

His death brought liberty 

His death brought liberty 

His death brought liberty 


CHORUS

May I never boast in anything 

Except the cross of Jesus Christ 

May I not forget the blood He shed 

It is by His death I am alive 

Because of Christ, I am alive 


VERSE 2

What a humble sacrifice 

Love that washed me clean 

Love that washed me clean 

Love that washed me clean 


What a blessed mystery 

His punishment, my peace

His punishment, my peace 

His punishment, my peace 


CHORUS (2x)

May I never boast in anything 

Except the cross of Jesus Christ 

May I not forget the blood He shed 

It is by His death I am alive 

Because of Christ, I am alive 


Because of Christ, I am alive 


BRIDGE (4x)

Hallelujah 

Hallelujah 

Praise the one who set me free 

Death has lost its grip on me 


Hallelujah 

Hallelujah 

Jesus rose in victory 

He's alive, alive in me


May I never boast in anything 

Except the cross of Jesus Christ 

May I not forget the blood He shed 

It is by His death I am alive 

Because of Christ, I am alive 


Because of Christ, I am alive 

Because of Christ, I am alive 

Because of Christ, I am alive 


BRIDGE (4x) 

Hallelujah 

Hallelujah 

Praise the one who set me free 

Death has lost its grip on me
