INSTEAD
V1: When I was brought to judgment
'twas nothing I could say
And guilty was the verdict
still I am walking free today CH: I am the chief of sinners
should have been left for dead
My penalty, d**h on a tree
Jesus paid instead V2: When I did waste my blessing
a squandered precious gift
upon the Sheperd's shoulder
this lost lamb he did lift CH: I am the chief of sinners
should have been left for dead
My penalty, d**h on a tree
Jesus paid instead V3: When on a road to nowhere
bound to end with God's wrath
I drew the fire aimed at me
the he stepped into it's path CH: I am the chief of sinners
should have been left for dead
My penalty, d**h on a tree
Jesus paid instead
