Amazing Love

Lyrics

When Jesus for His people died,
The holy law was satisfied;
Its awful penalties He bore;
It can command nor curse no more.

Chorus:

Amazing love how rich how free’
That Christ should die for such as we;
From hence the holiest duties flow,
Of saints above and saints below.

He having suffered in their stead,
The law in cov’nant form is dead;
He rules them with a gentle sway,
And they with sweet delight obey.

(Chorus)
