In My Place Lyrics

Gethsemane, you go to pray

My sin has left no other way

And there you weep, this cup is full

Thus far has been undrinkable

You could have left my failure there

And left my sin for me to bear

But oh the strength, the bravery

The garden of Gethsemane

Jerusalem, still dark as night

When scribes and priests condemned the light

The trial should have been for me

And all my vile treachery

But you were silent in the face

Of false accusers in my place

They did not know it was for them

The darkness in Jerusalem

On Calvary's cross between two thieves

You still have not forsaken me

But to erase all my trespass

The perfect Savior breathes His last

The God of life exchanges this

His life for mine, my shame for His

Eternal righteousness, the cost

Only to look on Calvary's cross

A filthy grave, my Savior still

Your work is done, your Father's will

But there's a kingdom now to claim

The stone of death is rolled away

You are alive and hold the keys

Of death and Hell, your victory

You are our God and you have saved

Your people from a filthy grave
