He gave His life in selfless love, For sinful man he came; He had no stain of sin himself, But bore our guilt and shame. He took the cup of pain and death, His blood was freely shed; We see his body on the cross, We share the living bread. He did not come to call the good, But sinners to repent; It was the lame, the deaf, the blind, For whom His life was spent. To heal the sick, to find the lost, It was for such He came; And round His table all may come, To praise His holy name. They heard Him call Father’s name, ‘’Tis finished’ was His cry; Like them we have forsaken Him, And left Him there to die. The sins that crucified Him then, Are sins his blood has cured; The love that bound Him to a cross, Our freedom has ensured. His body broken once for us, Is glorious now above; The cup of blessing we receive, A sharing of His love. As in his preserve we partake, His dying we proclaim; Until the hour of majesty, When Jesus comes again.
