And Can It Be
by Chris Weninegar

Album: Songs of Communion

Verse 1
And can it be that
I should gain
An int'rest in
The Savior's blood
Died He for me
Who caused His pain
For me who Him
To death pursued
Amazing love
How can it be
That Thou my God
Shouldst die for me
Amazing love
How can it be
That Thou my God
Shouldst die for me

Verse 2
'Tis mystery all
The Immortal dies
Who can explore
His strange design
In vain the firstborn
Seraph tries
To sound the depths
Of love divine
'Tis mercy all
Let earth adore
Let angel minds inquire
No more
'Tis mercy all
Let earth adore
Let angel minds inquire
No more

Verse 3
He left His Father's
Throne above
So free so infinite His grace
Emptied Himself
Of all but love
And bled for
Adam's helpless race
'Tis mercy all
Immense and free
For O my God
It found out me
'Tis mercy all immense
And free
For O my God
It found out me

Verse 4
Long my imprisoned
Spirit lay
Fast bound in sin
And nature's night
Thine eye diffused
A quickening ray
I woke the dungeon
Flamed with light
My chains fell off
My heart was free
I rose went forth
And followed Thee
My chains fell off
My heart was free
I rose went forth
And followed Thee

Verse 5
No condemnation
Now I dread
Jesus and all in
Him is mine
Alive in Him
My living head
And clothed in
Righteousness divine
Bold I approach
The eternal throne
And claim the crown
Through Christ my own
Bold I approach
The eternal throne
And claim the crown
Through Christ my own

Tag
Bold I approach
The eternal throne
And claim the crown
Through Christ my own
Bold I approach
The eternal throne
And claim the crown
Through Christ my own
