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 death
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
