Compassion Lyrics

Twenty centuries since Jesus died for me

On Satan's vile tree, accursed Calvary

Where His passion bled for me

And salvation was His deed

Jesus took our frame

At the cross, He took our shame

Satan thought he won that day

But Christ rose in just three days

We through Him to be saved

Standing in the freedom of His grace

Your arms are open wide with Jesus by Your side

Heaven's Prince who died when hell's power was denied

In darkness rose the light, bursting forth the Christ

Generations saved, He died

And the world filled with life

The strength of Jesus has no rival

His power not put on trial

His Name ends all of our strife

For He was at the start of life

This grace of His is ever mine

His love outlasts the end of time

Your arms are open wide with Jesus by Your side

Heaven's Prince who died when hell's power was denied

In darkness rose the light, bursting forth the Christ

Generations saved, He died

And the world filled with life

I'm running to Your open arms

The undefeated Lord of Heaven

The Savior, the King died on the cross

To glory, Lord, I must surrender

My every gain is every loss

To Jesus, holy King and Savior

To my knees in reverence fall

To lift the Christ in awe and wonder

At loss for words to Heaven's King

Though all I know to do is sing

For what could measure up to what

Jesus paid, unreachable cost

A thousand years I try to reach

The measure Jesus paid for me

His compassion is too great for me

To Your grace, Lord, I surrender
