and castigation of my name
But then His grace and mercy came
and lo to my surprise no shame!
A double portion - Can it be?
When I deserve malignity
And beauty for my ashes too?
And favor still my God with You?
Such love is more than justice yea!
It turns my darkest hour to day.
My wretched robes He sets aside
And clothes me as His holy bride
Now I can stand and face my foes
fear none of their tormenting blows
For all my debts Himself He paid
And all my sins His own He made
The burden that had tortured me
He lifted off and set me free
And more than just my debt He paid
Myself the wretch His son He made
How can one fathom such a love?
No source on earth ‘tis from above
Could ever bring such grace to light
That heals all wrong and makes all right
A table He has set for me
before blaspheming enemy
And welcomes me as special guest
Who men would curse He now calls blest
So hear me all who would condemn
And rightly judge my own great sin
I shall not seek a quarrel with you
The wretch you see He has made new
