His Life For Mine

Verse 1: His heart was broken, mine was mended
He became sin, now I am clean.
The Cross he carried bore my burden
The nails that held him set me free.

Chorus: His life for mine, his life for mine
How could it ever be?
That he would die, God's son would die
To save a wretch like me
What love divine, he gave his life for mine

Verse 2: His scars of suffering brought me healing
He spilled his blood to fill my soul.
His crown of thorns made me royalty
His sorrow gave me joy untold.

Chorus: His life for mine, his life for mine
How could it ever be?
That he would die, God's son would die
To save a wretch like me
What love divine, he gave his life for mine.

Bridge: He was despised and rejected, stripped of his garments and oppressed.
I am loved and accepted and I wear a robe of righteousness.

Chorus: His life for mine, his life for mine
How could it ever be?
That he would die, God's son would die
To save a wretch like me (like me)
What love divine, he gave his life for mine (for mine).
