Because of Jesus I go free <br />Because He suffered there for me <br />Because He stayed and did not run <br />Because He said 'Your will be done' <br /> <br />My transgressions on Him were laid <br />Lash by lash for my debts He paid <br />Blow by blow for each iniquity <br />As they nailed Him upon the tree <br /> <br />Drop by drop for each sin He bled <br />To wash me clean His blood was shed <br />Then 'Father forgive them', He cried <br />As He bowed down His head and died <br /> <br />'Death's the wages for sin', God said <br />That's why He hung there in my stead <br />Because Jesus died I now live <br />Because He cried 'Father forgive' <br /> <br />Wonderful love He's shown to me <br />Greater love has no man than He <br />That is why I now sing His praise <br />And to the heavens' my anthem raise<br /><br />Royston Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/because-of-jesus/
