By His Stripes

By His stripes, He has paid for my sin
By His stripes, He has bought my pain
By His stripes, He has conquered the grave
And my flesh shall die, shall die so He may live.

May He live in me as I die to myself
May I leave my pain at His cross
That He may live through me.
May I open my eyes and praise His holy name.

By His stripes, I will die myself.
By His stripes, He will live for me.
By His stripes, we are saved eternal
By His stripes, it is complete.

I pick up my mat and declare the Truth
He didn't die for me to suffer
He died that He might live in me.
Through His love, might we live with Him.

Through the nails piercing His flesh,
Our sin is killed, our flesh has died.
Through the nails piercing His flesh,
Our pain is gone, completely conquered.

By His stripes, I will die myself.
By His stripes, He will live for me.
By His stripes, we are saved eternal
By His stripes, it is complete.

By His stripes, I will die myself.
By His stripes, He will live for me.
By His stripes, we are saved eternal
By His stripes, it is complete.

Love Song

His gentle love washes over me
Cleanses me from head to toe.
His sacrificial love breaks my heart
As I see Him up upon that cross.

I close my eyes and weep
As I ponder His love for me.

I have no power
I have nothing to boast about
I have only my sin and
Crumbling remains of life.

Yet, He loves me still
He loves me, yes, me!
He loves me enough to give
His life for mine.

I open my eyes in awe
Of His wondrous, powerful love.

My King looks upon me
His entire body shining with His love.

“My child,” says He.
“I will love you for all time.
Call upon me and I will be there.”

“Lift your eyes and see my face.
Fall to your knees within my embrace.
I will be here for all time,
This is merely the beginning of our story.”
