It was the mercy of our God where all my hopes began
When through the water and the blood, he washed my soul from sin
For it was not my righteousness that my own hands had done
But I was saved by sovereign grace, the bonding through his son
It was the Holy love of God that took my penalty
The judge and savior gave himself for my iniquity
Then, from the fountain of his grace I felt forgiveness flow
To wash away the deepest sins my heart had ever known.

Chorus:
In the cross my soul found rest
By Christ's wondrous sacrifice
For justice met with mercy then
And God was satisfied
And there my soul found rest
