Instead
by Southern Raised

Album: Another World

He could've let me wander in a world without hope
Never knowing his compassion feeling helpless and alone
He could've let me suffer for the choices I had made
Although I needed mercy he could've walked away
He could've walked away

But instead he took my cross
But instead he took my shame
His love became the ransom for a debt I could not pay
When sin demanded justice, Jesus made the way
Oh I'm so grateful for the blood he shed instead

I could've been forgotten But his grace rescued me
I could've been abandoned but I'm a child of the king
I am so unworthy of the sacrifice he gave
Those could've been my nails
That could've been my grave
That could've been my grave

But instead he took my cross
But instead he took my shame
His love became the ransom for a debt I could not pay
When sin demanded justice, Jesus made the way
Oh I'm so grateful for the blood he shed instead

When sin demanded justice, Jesus made the way
Oh I'm so grateful for the blood he shed instead
