In the middle of the night
I saw a man accused of lying
As He stood in my sight
I heard the crowd say Crucify Him
Love set me free
Nailed to a tree
Dying for you and me
He gave His life as ransom for all the world to see
As He walked down the lane
I just could not hide my tears
I saw His suffering and His pain
As His final moments neared
Freely He gave
His life to save
Sinners like you and me
He gave His life as ransom for all the world to see
No greater love has ever been shown
No greater mercy ever known
He gave me a reason
To live my life for Him
They took Him up on a hill
His innocence was nailed to wood
He did His Father's will
And when He died I understood
He gave away
His life to pay
Debts owed by you and me
He gave His life as ransom for all the world to see
'Cause freely He gave
His life to save
Sinners like you and me
He gave His life as ransom for all the world to see
