My sweet Lord and gentle Father
As You hold me to Your breast
I am wrapped in the assurance
In Your arms is sweetest rest.
As Your love today surrounds me
I am awed by the divine
For when Jesus hung on Calv’rys cross
Those sins He bore were mine.
Oh the joy, it leaves me speechless
For when the women did arrive
At the tomb that early morning
They found Jesus is alive!
He’s alive! Yes, I’m forgiven.
All my sin, disgrace, and shame
Has been removed as east from west
Now I live in Jesus’ Name!
In Jesus’ Name, and by His blood
Forgiven much, my grateful theme
His sacrifice because of LOVE
Now I go forth, forever clean!
