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
