Oh, what is man You're mindful of?
That even though his soul was lost
For him, You bore the only cross
That could restore
You saw my past and knew my shame
Yet still You chose to love the same
This is the gift You freely gave
Immeasurable grace
And this is why we sing Your praise
Lift high Your precious holy name
Oh Jesus Christ, the Son of God
Because of Your love, our debt is paid
You saw my past and knew my shame
Yet still You chose to love the same
This is the gift You freely gave
Immeasurable grace, immeasurable grace
And this is why we sing Your praise
Lift high Your precious holy name
Oh Jesus Christ, the Son of God
Because of Your love, our debt is paid
And this is why we sing Your praise
Lift high Your precious holy name
Oh Jesus Christ, the Son of God
Because of Your love, our debt is paid
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh
And when I see You face-to-face
There at the end of all my days
Jesus in You, I will remain
My dwelling place
You're my dwelling place
In You, I'll remain
In You, I'll remain
In You, I'll remain
And this is why we sing Your praise
Lift high Your precious holy name
Oh Jesus Christ, the Son of God
Because of Your love, our debt is paid
And this is why we sing Your praise
Lift high Your precious holy name
Oh Jesus Christ, the Son of God
Because of Your love, our debt is paid
And this is why we sing Your praise
Lift high Your precious holy name
Oh Jesus Christ, the Son of God
Because of Your love, our debt is paid
Because of Your love, our debt is paid
Because of Your love, we sing Your praise
We sing Your praise, Jesus
You are worthy, Lord, You are worthy, Lord
