Shane & Shane's rendition of Hillsong UNITED's 'Scandal of Grace' is a worship song that marvels at the profound mystery of Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross. The lyrics emphasize that Christ, though innocent, was murdered for humanity's sins, washing them away in His blood. The song reflects on the overwhelming nature of this grace, which breaks our fall and gives eternal life. It also addresses the defeat of death, declaring its power nullified by sin's forgiveness. The repeated desire to be like Jesus and give all to know Him underscores a theme of surrender and devotion, while acknowledging that all hope and strength come from Him.

Grace, what have You done?
Murdered for me on that cross
Accused in absence of wrong
My sin washed away in Your blood
Too much to make sense of it all
I know that Your love breaks my fall
The scandal of grace, You died in my place
So my soul will live
Oh to be like You
Give all I have just to know You
Jesus, there's no one besides You
Forever the hope in my heart
Death, where is your sting?
Your power is as dead as my sin
The cross has taught me to live
And mercy, my heart now to sing
The day and its trouble shall come
I know that Your strength is enough
The scandal of grace, You died in my place
So my soul will live
Oh to be like You
Give all I have just to know You
Jesus, there's no one besides You
Forever the hope in my heart
And it's all, because of You, Jesus
It's all, because of You, Jesus
It's all, because of Your love
And my soul will live
Oh to be like You
Give all I have just to know You
Jesus, there's no one besides You
Forever the hope in my heart
