VERSE 1
The mystery of the cross I cannot comprehend
The agonies of Calvary
You the perfect Holy One, crushed Your Son
Who drank the bitter cup reserved for me
CHORUS
Your blood has washed away my sin
Jesus, thank You
The Father?s wrath completely satisfied
Jesus, thank You
Once Your enemy, now seated at Your table
Jesus, thank You
VERSE 2
By Your perfect sacrifice I?ve been brought near
Your enemy You?ve made Your friend
Pouring out the riches of Your glorious grace
Your mercy and Your kindness know no end
BRIDGE
Lover of my soul
I want to live for You

The lyrics express awe at the substitutionary atonement, where the perfect Holy One was crushed for humanity's sin. The chorus emphasizes gratitude for the cleansing power of Christ's blood and the complete satisfaction of divine wrath. The song celebrates the transformation from enemy to friend, seated at God's table through grace. It draws on themes of redemption and thankfulness, echoing the biblical concept of being brought near by Christ's sacrifice (Ephesians 2:13). The bridge expresses a desire to live for the Lover of the soul.
