Lyrics
Chorus:
Sin stained the Cross with the blood of my Lord
Yet He permitted it without a word
Why tell me why He redeemed you and me
Love is why you and I are free
He never said I'd have silver or gold
Yet He has promised me riches untold
He never suffered a life without care
Yet He relieves ev'ry burden I bear
(Repeat Chorus)
I was astray full of sin with its shame
There was no peace within I was to blame
Though undeserving my life so defiled
Now to my God I have been reconciled
(Repeat Chorus)
Though I have none of this world's precious goods
Yet I'm an heir to all heaven affords
Though I may never achieve earthly fame
Yet all of heaven can call me by name
(Repeat Chorus)
