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 & blood & 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. Your 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. Drawn from Immanuel's veins; And sinners plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains. You deserve a fiery love That won't ignore your sacrifice Because you paid much too high a price.
