Who Took My Place? by Janet Martin © 2009 Bound by sins dark chains Condemned and doomed stood I No chance of hope to gain As Justice raised her cry "Only, only death for thee No hope, no hope to be set free," But then came One with head bowed low He said to Justice "let her go" Oh, who is this who took my place? With crimson teardrops on His face The King of kings and Lord of lords No higher title could there be When Justice raised her angry sword Someone took my place for me Oh, my Lord, who could he be? Who cared enough to set me free? I raised my head to hear these words The King of kings and Lord of lords I fell upon the ground As Justice screamed her plea No reason could be found That I should be set free "Guilty, guilty," was her cry Her lone verdict "she must die," But then came One with head bowed low He said to Justice "let her go" Tell me tell me who could this be Who would take my place for me? The King of kings and Lord of lords No higher throne will ever be To describe, there are no words To paint this holy deity King of kings and Lord of lords Oh my Savior can it be The King of kings and Lord of lords Who paid my debt to set me free? King of kings and Lord of lords The best that ever there will be The King of kings and Lord of lords Has paid the price to set me free |
