Gracious

Slow to anger

Abounding in love

Good to all

All who call upon You

You will rescue and forgive

This is why I live


You lived the life I could never live

You died the death, oh, that I deserve

You rose to life and now You live

That's how You


Forgive me in Your mercy

I'm unworthy of your love

And I'm running back to

All I have in You, my gracious King

This is why I sing


You lived the life I could never live

You died the death, oh, that I deserve

You rose to life and now You live

That's how You forgive

[x2]


The measure of Your love

That You came and died for us

Let us not forget

That's how You forgive


You lived the life that I could never live

You died the death that I fully deserve

You rose to life and now I live, I live...

That's how You forgive


You lived the life I could never live

You died the death, oh, that I deserve

You rose to life and now You live

That's how You forgive


The measure of Your love

That You came and died for us

Let us not forget

That's how You forgive

[x2]


You forgive

You forgive
