The Battle and the Blessing...

 

The Battle and the Blessing 

CityAlight

We did not bear the wounds that freed us   

Or walk the road to Calvary

We did not share Your cup of suffering 

And yet we share Your victory 

 

V2

We did not wear that heavy burden

Nor face the shame and agony 

A crown of thorns was placed upon You

Now we are crowned with love and peace  

CHORUS

Praise the Lord, my God, now I am free

At the cross Your grace took hold of me

There You paid my debt, there You fought my fight

Yes, the battle was Yours and the blessing is mine

V3

You chose to be a man of sorrows

That I can be a child of God

You stood and faced this world’s rejection

I stand, accepted by Your love

CHORUS

Praise the Lord, my God, now I am free

At the cross Your grace took hold of me

There You paid my debt, there You fought my fight

Yes, the battle was Yours and the blessing is mine

Yes, the battle was Yours and the blessing is mine

V4

My sin was buried with the Saviour

Now there is hope beyond the tomb 

For You were raised again in glory

And I am raised to life in You

Forevermore to live with You!

CHORUS

Praise the Lord, my God, now I am free

At the cross Your grace took hold of me

There You paid my debt, there You fought my fight

Yes, the battle was Yours and the blessing is mine

Praise the Lord, my God, now I am free

At the cross Your grace took hold of me

There You paid my debt, there You fought my fight

Yes, the battle was Yours and the blessing is mine
