Jesus Jesus dearest Lord

See my life as was before

Giant hearts of Earthly stone

Take one look you’d see my own

Laden paths of guilt we wear

Who will save us, who will care?

Missing savior, we are done

We have no fight our foe has won

Jesus Jesus dearest Lord

Preparing way and waging war

Streaming sin and selfish gain

Corrupted hearts for him to tame

Heaven to Earth he left the skies

Thoughts of us consumed his mind

Plans of peace for me and more

Enchanted by this king I’ve torn

Jesus Jesus dearest Lord

Often I do hear and mourn

With his friends but then betrayed

Not one bit of love delayed

Assailants whipped and beat and shred

A crown of thorns put on his head

Jesus cried and prayed for man

As the nails drove through his hands

Jesus Jesus dearest Lord

Knocking love at my heart’s door

A thousand yards of blood I see

Trails of love you made for me

Faced with death yet he was brave

It could not hold him, nor the grave

Love perfected on the cross

All my sins are gone and lost

Chorus:

What is this I see?

Your blood covering me

Through this precious bond

My worst fears are gone
