He became sin, who knew no sin

That we might become his righteousness

He humbled himself and carried the cross

Love so amazing, love so amazing


Jesus messiah, name above all names

Blessed redeemer, Emmanuel

The rescue for sinners, the ransom from heaven

Jesus messiah, lord of all


His body the bread, his blood the wine

Broken and poured out all for love

The whole earth trembled, and the veil was torn

Love so amazing, how can it be? Your love's so amazing, yeah


Jesus messiah, name above all names

Blessed redeemer, Emmanuel

The rescue for sinners, the ransom from heaven

Jesus messiah, lord of all

all I hope is in you, all I hope is in you

All the glory to you, God, the light of the world

All I hope is in you (no one else), all I hope is in you

All the glory to you, God, (you are) the light of the world


Jesus messiah, name above all names

Blessed redeemer, Emmanuel

The rescue for sinners, the ransom from heaven

Jesus messiah, lord of all

Jesus messiah, lord of all

You're the lord of all

You're the lord of all
