Intro verse 1 I saw one hanging on a tree in agony and blood, Who fixed His loving eyes on me as near His cross I stood And never till my dying breath will I forget that look. It seemed to charge me with His death Though not a word He spoke. Forever etched upon my mind is the look of Him who died, The Lamb I crucified And now my life will sing the praise of pure atoning grace, That looked on me and gladly took my place. verse 2 My conscience felt and owned the guilt and plunged me in despair I saw my sins His blood had spilt, and helped to nail Him there But with a second look He said, I freely all forgive This blood is for your ransom paid. I died that you might live verse 3 Thus while His death my sin displays for all the world to view, Such is the mystery of grace It seals my pardon too. With pleasing grief and mournful joy, my spirit is now filled, That I should such a life destroy Yet live by Him I killed. Forever etched upon my mind is the look of Him who died, The Lamb I crucified And now my life will sing the praise of pure atoning grace, That looked on me and gladly took my place. Forever etched upon my mind is the look of Him who died, The Lamb I crucified And now my life will sing the praise of pure atoning grace, That looked on me and gladly took my place.
