Ascend The Hill - Song Of The Redeemed lyrics

And I was a sinner, an outsider Seperated from the God I love I carried a debt, a price on my head I could not free myself from And there was a burden, I could feel its heavy load A judgement from above I was slave to my shame, prisoner to the grave Hoping for freedom Then my story changed! A weighty judgement was lifted on my behalf And I was lost, yes, but I've been found By an anchor that holds me fast My redeemer, my reconciler He has freed me from the past And set me right, he called me by name And lifted my curse at last! Jesus, your name is lifted high Jesus, your name is lifted high And, oh, the joy of my burdens lifted Of the prisoner set free I went from stumbling through the darkness To walking in light and now I can see The hope that I have is sure and steadfast Has bound my wandering heart to thee So I'm singin', "Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me" And he took my place! He paid a debt he did not owe He came in the flesh, bore my sin and d**h A fate that I will never know And Jesus Christ, the ransom for all He counted it joy to take the grave And then God raised him from the dead And in his name is the power to save! Jesus, your name is lifted high Jesus, your name is lifted high This is the song of the redeemed All praise and glory to our king A thousand tongues therefore to sing Extolling Jesus for eternity This is the song of the redeemed All praise, all glory to our king A thousand tongues therefore to sing Extolling Jesus for eternity
