This is the word, the gospel truth
In which we stand
The perfect life, the saving death
Of just one Man
Oh, look what God has done
Oh, through His Son
Christ died for our sins
Met death in His grave
Then rose to life again
By this we are saved, by this we are saved
So Jesus' death has conquered death
And killed our sin
And Jesus' life has brought us life
We live in Him
Oh, look what God has done
Oh, through His Son
Christ died for our sins
Met death in His grave
Then rose to life again
By this we are saved, by this we are saved
This is good news, the Father shows us grace
This is the truth, the Spirit gives us faith
Jesus is King, and by this we are saved
By this we are saved, by this we are saved
Christ died for our sins
Met death in His grave
Then rose to life again
By this we are saved
Christ died for our sins
Met death in His grave
Then rose to life again
By this we are saved, by this we are saved
By this we are saved, by this we are saved
