And Can It Be?

Verse 1
And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Sa - vior's blood
Died He for me who caused His pain
For me who Him to death pursued?

Amazing love how can it be
That Thou my God should die for me
Amazing love! How can it be
That Thou my God should die for me?

Verse 2
He left His Father's throne a - bove
So free so infi - nite His grace
Emptied Himself how great His love
And bled for Adam's helpless race
'Tis mercy all immense and free
For O my God it found out me!

Amazing love! How can it be
That Thou my God should die for me?

Verse 3
Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and na - ture's night
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light
My chains fell off, my heart was free
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee

Amazing love! How can it be
That Thou my God should die for me?

Verse 4
No condemnation now I dread
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine
Alive in Him, my living Head
And clothed in righteousness di - vine
Bold I approach the eternal throne
And claim the crown through Christ my own

Amazing love! How can it be
That Thou my God should die for me?
