Maranatha! Music Instead of Me song lyrics

Instead of Me

All of us like sheep have gone astray

Each of us has turned to his own way

But the Lord has made the sins of all to fall on Him

Despised, he was rejected,

to death subjected

Instead of me,

he took the blame the misery

Instead of me,

he suffered silent agony

And in that final breath,

he died alone the sinners' death

Instead of me

Willingly He laid His glory down

Traded wealth to wear a piercing crown

Till the Father's one demand He met at Calvary

Alone, stripped of His majesty,

He cried "Thou has forsaken me,"

Instead of me,

he took the blame the misery

Instead of me,

he suffered silent agony

And in that final breath,

he died alone the sinners' death

Instead of me

Instead of me,

he took the blame the misery

Instead of me,

he suffered silent agony

And in that final breath,

he died alone the sinners' death

Instead of me
