Lyrics

Music: Greg Habegger [Key:A] Verse 1 His robes for mine: O wonderful exchange! Clothed in my sin, Christ suffered ‘neath God's rage. Draped in His righteousness, I'm justified! In Christ I live, For in my place He died. Verse 2 His robes for mine: What cause have I for dread? God's daunting law Christ mastered in my stead. Faultless I stand With righteous works not mine, Saved by my Lord's Vicarious death and life. Chorus I cling to Christ, And marvel at the cost: Jesus forsaken, God estranged from God. Bought by such love, My life is not my own. My praise, my all, Shall be for Christ alone. Verse 3 His robes for mine: God's justice is appeased. Jesus is crushed, And thus the Father's pleased. Christ drank God's wrath On sin, then cried "‘Tis done!" Sin's wage is paid; Propitiation won! Chorus I cling to Christ, And marvel at the cost: Jesus forsaken, God estranged from God. Bought by such love, My life is not my own. My praise, my all, Shall be for Christ alone. Verse 4 His robes for mine: Such anguish none can know. Christ, God's belov’d, Condemned as though His foe. He, as though I, Accursed and left alone; I, as though He, Embraced and welcomed home! Chorus I cling to Christ, And marvel at the cost: Jesus forsaken, God estranged from God. Bought by such love, My life is not my own. My praise, my all, Shall be for Christ alone. Chorus I cling to Christ, And marvel at the cost: Jesus forsaken, God estranged from God. Bought by such love, My life is not my own. My praise, my all, Shall be for Christ alone.
