Justice demanded satisfaction the law
Had been broken again and again
Judgement required immediate action
Death wanted payment for sin
But mercy refused and love took my place
There on a cross where justice meets grace
Mercy refused to let me die
Jesus the Lamb was crucified
Though rightfully death wanted me
Mercy refused
Christ has become my righteousness
The Lord is my peace and my freedom from sin
Now I am clothed in His holiness
To a new life I enter in
When mercy refused and love took my place

There on a cross where justice met grace
Mercy refused to let me die
Jesus the Lamb was crucified
Though rightfully death wanted me
Mercy refused
As high as the heavens are over the earth
So great is His mercy to us
As far as the east is from the west
That's how far He's removed our transgressions from us
