My Song

The price demanded was the highest ever
to ransom my lost, dying soul from hell;
yet, He paid it all without a murmur,
God’s wondrous grace to me let this song tell.

A life of hope is mine because of Jesus;
He gave me joy I never could afford,
opened my blind eyes to view His splendor
and brought me peace, sweet peace, God’s perfect peace.

His life was offered up, the sweetest savor,
love’s sacrifice; sin’s awful cost was paid.
I cannot tell why my Jesus loves me;
I only know He died my soul to save.

CHORUS
For all eternity my heart must praise Him,
the King of kings, the everlasting Lord,
the only one who gives my soul salvation
and a heavenly mansion as my reward.

Well done, Dear. I want to try this contest. But I don't know what more I can write than what others have!
