Buried in the heart of the earth
Blood was shed for
There for three days bearing my shame
A world of men
This man of sorrows despised for His love
The blood at Calvary ransomed now oh my soul

I deserve the cross I deserve a death for I am fallen
Blood was shed for this world of men
I deserve the cross I deserve a death for I am fallen
Blood was shed for this world of men

Something was deeply wrong if God had to die
His body broken His blood was spilled
Even after all we've done You still justify
And Your words were spoken a life fulfilled

I deserve the cross I deserve a death for I am fallen
A Savior for the lost for I can't pay the debt of all of my sin

Who is a God like you who pardons sin and forgives the transgressions of the remnant of His inheritance?
This understanding of a God who can save us for we deserve a debt that we could not pay

Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

A God who will save us
A God who will love us even after all we've done
To deserve a death of
That of a traitor who speaks with the most treasonous lips
