In My Place

Written by Gene Ezell

VERSE 1
Mercy on a cross
Innocence condemned
Guilty of nothing 
But my sin
 
Darkness and Light
Meeting face to face
When the Man of sorrows                 
Took my place
 
CHORUS
Glory was displayed
On a rugged tree
When Heaven’s chosen One                        
Hung there just for me 
 
A picture of love 
And saving grace
Was high and lifted up…
In my place

VERSE 2
Precious blood poured out
Perfect sacrifice
Love pure and holy
Gave me life 

Hope was restored                
Ransom has been paid
Christ divine and spotless
Took my place

CHORUS

BRIDGE
A crown of thorns I should have worn
Three nails meant for me
My death became His instead
So I could go free

CHORUS
