Sweetest sound I've ever heard
Sound of heaven calling out for me
Before I ever called Your name
You gave Your life for me
And all the things I ever did
You took them on the cross
You took the weight of the world on Your shoulders
You took the weight of the world on Your shoulders
You did it all for me
Yes You did it all for me
Greatest love I've ever known
That You would give Your life to set me free
Before I ever called Your name
You paid the price for me
And all the things I ever did
You bore on Calvary
You took the weight of the world on Your shoulders
You took the weight of the world on Your shoulders
You did it all for me
Yes You did it all for me
You took the weight of the world on Your shoulders
You took the weight of the world on Your shoulders
You did it all for me
Yes You did it all for me
Take me as I am
Into Your nail scarred hands
And when I run so far away
You always call me back again
Into Your open arms
No matter what I've done
Amazing grace has found me here
Because of what You've done I'm free
You took the weight of the world on Your shoulders
You took the weight of the world on Your shoulders
You did it all for me
Yes You did it all for me
