Buried in the heart of the earth
 (Blood was shed for)
 There for three days bearing my shame
 (world of men)
 This man of sorrows despised for His love
 The blood at Calvary ransomed now oh my soul

I deserve the cross I deserve a death for I am fallen
 Blood was shed for this world of men
I deserve the cross I deserve a death for I am fallen
Blood was shed for this world of men

Something was deeply wrong if God had to die
 His body broken His blood was spilled
 Even after all we’ve done You still justify
 And Your words were spoken a life fulfilled

I deserve the cross I deserve a death for I am fallen
 Savior for the lost for I can’t pay the debt of all of my sin

Who is a God like you who pardons sin and forgives the transgressions of the remnant of His inheritance?
 This understanding of a God who can save us for we deserve a debt that we could not pay

Jesus paid it all
 All to Him I owe
 Sin had left a crimson stain
 He washed it white as snow

God who will save us
 God who will love us even after all we’ve done
 To deserve a death of
 That of a traitor who speaks with the most treasonous lips
