In Our Place
The further we allow ourselves
To wander from the Lord
The more His Way of righteousness
Is easily ignored
The less we feel offended
By the evil things we do
And less we want to have a part
In work He brings us to
But when we feel His Spirit
Move upon our heart and soul
Begin to see the damages
As sin attains its goal
Of ripping at the heart of God
By our iniquity
It makes us realize the Cost
He paid on Calvary
Was not just that moment
Or that single time in space
Or just for those poor sinners
That were standing in that place
But for the very hearts of us
And all the things we've done
That pushed against the love of God
Who sacrificed His Son
And turned His back against Him
Who gave all for us to live
Accepting our rejection
As the only Way to give
The Offering the Law demands
And still allow His grace
To take our broken sin filled life
And put His in our place
The most important part:
