LYRICS:
Once I was dead in sin, And hope within me died
Author: Arthur T. Pierson
Tune: [I gave My life for thee] (Bliss)
1 Once I was dead in sin,
And hope within me died;
But now I’m dead to sin—
With Jesus crucified.
Refrain:
And can it be that "He loved me,
And gave Himself for me"?
And can it be that "He loved me,
And gave Himself for me"?
2 O height I can not reach,
Oh depth I can not sound,
Oh love, O boundless love,
In my Redeemer found. [Refrain]
3 Oh cold, ungrateful heart
That can from Jesus turn,
When living fires of love
Should on His altar burn. [Refrain]
4 I live—and yet, not I,
But Christ that lives in me;
Who from the law of sin
And death hath made me free. [Refrain]
