Lyrics:
He bore it all that I might live
My precious Savior suffered pain and agony
He bore it all (Freely
bore it all)
That I might live (I with Him might live)
He broke the
bonds of sin and set the captive free
He bore it all that I might live
(in His presence live)
Chorus:
He bore it all (Jesus bore it all) that I might see His
shining face
He bore it all (Freely bore it all)
That I might live
(I with Him might live)
I stood condemned to die but Jesus took my
place
He bore it all that I might live (in His presence live)
They placed a crown of thorns upon my Savior's head
He bore it all
(Freely bore it all)
That I might live (I with Him might live)
My
cruel man, with spear, his side was pierced and bled
He bore it all
that I might live (in His presence live)
Repeat Chorus
Up Calvary's hill in shame the blessed Savior trod
He bore it all
(Freely bore it all)
That I might live (I with Him might
live)
Between two thieves they crucified the Son of God
He bore it
all that I might live (in His presence live)
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Live

"He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed." 1 Peter 2:24

And the Christians of all
nations will join in the triumph song
Everybody will be happy over
there

Lyrics:
There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel's
veins
And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty
stains
Lose all their guilty stains, lose all their guilty
stains
And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty
stains
Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood shall never lose its power
Till
all the ransomed church of God be saved, to sin no more
Be saved, to
sin no more, be saved, to sin no more
Till all the ransomed church of
God be saved, to sin no more
E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds
supply
Redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die
And
shall be till I die, and shall be till I die
Redeeming love has been my
theme, and shall be till I die
