And Can it Be

(Lyrics: Charles Wesley; Music: D. Radmacher)

And can it be that I should gain
An int’rest in the Savior’s blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain?
For me, who Him to death pursued?

Amazing love! How can it be that Thou, my God, should die for me?
Amazing love! How can it be that Thou, my God should die for me?

He left His Father’s throne above,
So free, so infinite His grace!
Emptied Himself because of love,
And bled for Adam’s helpless race.

Tis mercy all, immense and free
For oh, my God, it found even me. (repeat)

No condemnation now I dread,
For I am my Lord’s and He is mine;
Alive in Him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness divine.

Bold I approach His glorious throne,
And claim my crown through Christ my own. (repeat)
