And Can It Be That I Should Gain Lyrics

Verse 1
And can it be that I should, that I should gain
An interest in the Savior's blood?
Died He for me, who caused His, who caused His pain?
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Chorus
Amazing love! How can it be, That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

Verse 2
He left His throne, His Father's throne above
So free, so infinite His grace
Emptied Himself of all, of all but love
And bled for us, a helpless race
Chorus (2x)

Bridge
My chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose-ooooOse
My chains fell off, my heart was free, went forth, and followed (2x)
...and followed
Chorus (2x)
