Dogwood - Jesus lyrics

Jesus the man without sin Sent to die for the wrongs of mankind How sad his Father must have been To send his one and only son to die For the lives of you and I Now let me tell you why Jesus Christ died for us A necessary sacrifice To save the world from being lost But he did so all of us Could find salvation forgiveness through him The king of kings and two petty thieves Left to suffer on Calvary Is this what it takes to make them believe? He rose in three days The stone angelically removed from the grave Much to the murderers surprise The chains of d**h could not ensnare This blameless man's perfect soul The Lord wished it known He came with love from resurrection Not with revenge but redemption Indignation set aside For those who left him on the cross to die The chosen one, his blood washed me clean To live is Christ, to die is gain Perpetual love Perpetual life I fear no man Impervious I'm born again I'll take up my cross That's the story of the man without sin He has given me a seat at His throne, a sanctuary from my foes He has shown me what is good and how to live day by day In a perfect sort of way I can't repay But I'll try to live for you it seems impossible to do But I can do all things through you So I'll rest easy in the knowledge of you
