Oh, It’s unbelievable. I was dead I was gone So lost in my sin, ohhh Couldn’t fight or contain it Oh, it was my ruler Consuming everything inside I couldn’t see beyond my pride Oh, blind eyes…where do I begin A life ruled by sin This is my identity. It is the deep unknown. I’ve tried to stay hidden And Lord when I saw you coming, oh I ran, oh I ran I couldn’t bare the sight of you I was ready for judgement, ready for fire Ready for punishment. God have you come to destroy me? Oh, I can feel it. Your presence is ravaging. Oh, but you stuck out your hand and I could see was [chorus] The hand that could crush me Oh, it was pierced through It reached out to touch me Not to destroy…but to hold me, hold me Oh, it gave me life! What a sacrifice The God of all justice Paid this debt of mine, this debt of mine Oh, it was endless…but His love was relentless. It saved my life [verse] This was more than a moment Beyond an experience This was more than emotion Oh, it was redemption It was salvation My death his life My sin his rights I can’t believe it He said just receive it But I’ve been told all my life That I had to earn it It was my burden Oh, this sin of mine. I had no right to believe That God would see me As a child, as friend, as stranger he brought in My life was hopeless. My world was broken Until that day, oh, that wonderful day When you reached out your hand, oh your hand [chorus] The hand that could crush me Oh, it was pierced through It reached out to touch me Not to destroy…but to hold me, hold me Oh, it gave me life! What a sacrifice The God of all justice Paid this debt of mine, this debt of mine Oh, it was endless…but His love was relentless. It saved my life [verse] So what’s your story? Are you lost are you bound? Are you sick? Are you stuck? Have you been running? Have you been hiding? Let me just tell you, oh it’s time to stop The Lord our God He pursues the one Leaves the 99 Oh it doesn’t make sense Oh it doesn’t add up He’s the father who runs to rescue us Yes, even when we’ve left When we spat on his love and we thought we knew best He’s the God who loves Oh, and it cost him everything On that fateful day They hung him on a tree, nails through his hands, nails through his feet Left out to die for a sinner like me And a sinner like them And oh, as he hung from that cursed tree He set us free! Free, from sin and death His gift of righteousness, given to us Received by faith in the Son of God, (oh Jesus) So take his hand, trust his plan [chorus] The hand that could crush me Oh, it was pierced through It reached out to touch me Not to destroy…but to hold me, hold me Oh, it gave me life! What a sacrifice The God of all justice Paid this debt of mine, this debt of mine Oh, it was endless…but His love was relentless. It saved my life [acapella] Oh, yes we are gently held By the hand that could crush us But He dearly loves us Yes, we’re safe here Let’s stay here… oh, thank you Lord [end]
