Lyrics

Neil Barham, 2010 [Key: Eb] Verse 1 Was it enough, that God should die To take away my sin? Enough to close the door of Hell, And stop my falling in? Enough, that I be righteous found, Before His perfect view? Enough, that Christ's own deeds be mine? Despite all I could do? Chorus My God, why would You shed Your blood So pure and undefiled To make a sinful one like me Your chosen, precious child? Verse 2 Enough that all my soul and mind Transformed within should be? Enough, my sin should be subdued, And God should live in me? No! Not enough! More would He do! How deep His mercy runs: That I, a treas'nous wretch, should be Adopted as His son! Chorus My God, why would You shed Your blood So pure and undefiled To make a sinful one like me Your chosen, precious child? Verse 3 To wear His name, to feel His kiss, To lie in that embrace, What grand, mysterious gentleness Shines in my Father's face! Chorus My God, O how You shed Your blood So pure and undefiled To make a sinful one like me Your chosen, precious child!
