65. He Paid the Price

1 When I was lost, without a Savior,
My life as sinful as could be,
My Father sent His Son from glory
And Jesus paid the price for me.

Chorus:
He paid the price, He bore my burdens,
His life He gave upon the tree;
O, praise the Lord, He is my Savior,
He paid the price the price for me.

2 It took His blood to make the ransom,
His life He gave on Calvary;
And there His precious heart was broken,
He paid the price, the price for me. [Chorus]

3 With cruel hands they killed my Savior,
They nailed His body to the tree;
The crown of thorns they placed upon Him,
He paid the price, the price for me. [Chorus]

4 O, how could I forget this Savior!
Who gave Himself to set me free;
I wish that you, my Friend, might know Him
And know He paid the price for thee. [Chorus]
