Because of Christ

On a hill in Israel
Mercy spoke for me
Mercy spoke for me
Mercy spoke for me
It was on Golgotha’s tree
His death brought liberty
His death brought liberty
His death brought liberty

May I never boast
In anything
Except the cross
Of Jesus Christ
May I not forget
The blood He shed
It is by His death
I am alive
Because of Christ, I am alive

What a humble sacrifice
Love that washed me clean
Love that washed me clean
Love that washed me clean
What a blessed mystery
His punishment, my peace
His punishment, my peace
His punishment, my peace

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Praise the One who set me free
Death has lost its grip on me
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Jesus rose in victory
He’s alive, alive in me
