This the price for me

To this place He’s led, death awaits the Living Bread;
Dark hill of Calvary, cursed tree meant for sinners such as me,
He will die instead.

Here hangs the King of kings, Love’s redefining, 
bearing my suffering, Light of life dying.

His love, how can it be, He should die for one like me?
Thorns crown His regal head, in my stead,
Living Word among the dead,
This the price for me.

Darkness all around quakes upon this bloodstained ground.
Sun in the desert sky, light denied,
Holy Lamb now crucified,
No mercy found.

Here hangs the King of kings, Love’s redefining,
Bearing my suffering, Light of life dying.

Giver of life now dies, “It is finished,” is His cry!
Jesus has paid the price, sacrificed,
Blood of Christ alone sufficed;
Only Love knows why.
Only Love knows why.
