Your love endured the cross Despising all the shame That afternoon when midnight fell Your suffering cleared my name And that sin-swept hill became The open door to paradise The cost was great yet you paid the price
You paid much too high a price for me In tears and blood and pain To have my soul just stirred at times Yet never truly change You deserve a fiery love That won't ignore your sacrifice Because you paid much too high a price
You grace inspires my heart To rise above the sin Of all the earthly vanity That seeks to draw me in Then to tell a jaded world of love That truly saved a life A love that paid Much too high a price
