Words and Music By Mark Altrogge

Once we were dead in Transgressions and sin

Walking in darkness we all stood condemned

But God in His mercy provided for us

And sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross.

He made us alive in Christ

Gave us life

Because of His great love

Made us alive in Christ

Gave us life and raised us up

Made us alive in Christ

Gave us life

And seated us on high

That He might display the riches of His kindness

That He might display the riches of His grace.

Once we were strangers to hope and to God

‘Til He brought us near by His Son’s holy blood

He built us on Jesus, His choice cornerstone

A house filled with praises to His name alone
