Upon that rugged hill;The Holy One bore all my shame

V6

[Verse 1] What wondrous love was poured out there, Upon that rugged hill; The Holy One bore all my shame, And loved me even still. I cannot grasp the depth of grace, The price that love would pay; The Son of God gave all for me, And took my guilt away. [Verse 2] My sins had raised a wall so high, My heart was lost and blind; But mercy reached through all my shame And would not leave me behind. The Savior carried every wound, The judgment I deserved; And from His suffering came a grace No human heart could earn. [Chorus] There beneath that crimson tree, Mercy opened wide for me; All my chains were broken there, Love had conquered every fear. I will lift my eyes and sing, Praise the Lamb, my risen King; For the cross has made me new, Jesus, all my hope is You. [Verse 3] The heavens seemed to mourn that day, The earth itself stood still; The Maker bore the sinner's curse Upon that lonely hill. The darkness covered all the land, The veil was torn in two; And through the sacrifice of Christ, The way to God came through. [Verse 4] I bow beneath that holy sight, Too humbled now to speak; My pride falls silent at the cross, My stubborn spirit breaks. What can I bring to such a love? What offering could I make? Except to lay my whole life down For Jesus' mercy's sake. [Verse 5] My tears could never pay the debt, My sorrow is too small; No sacrifice I make myself Could ever match it all. So take my heart, take all of me, My future and my past; The life You bought at Calvary Is Yours alone at last. [Final Chorus] There beneath that crimson tree, Mercy opened wide for me; All my chains were broken there, Love had conquered every fear. I will lift my eyes and sing, Praise the Lamb, my risen King; For the cross has made me new, Jesus, all my hope is You. [Outro — stripped down, almost whispered] You took my shame. You bore my sin. You gave Your life So I could live. Jesus, Lamb of God, Forever I am Yours.
