Hymn 200

There was one who was willing to die in my stead

Carrie E. Breck

Verse 1

There was one who was willing to die in my stead,

That a soul so unworthy might live;

And the path of the cross He was willing to tread,

All the sins of my life to forgive.

Chorus

They are nailed to the cross, they

are nailed to the cross,

O how much He was willing to bear!

With what anguish and loss, Jesus

went to the cross!

And He carried my sins with Him there!

Verse 2

He is tender and loving and patient with me,

While He cleanses my heart of its dross;

But “There’s no condemnation” I know I am free,

For my sins are all nailed to the cross.

Chorus

They are nailed to the cross, they

are nailed to the cross,

O how much He was willing to bear!

With what anguish and loss, Jesus

went to the cross!

And He carried my sins with Him there!

Verse 3

I will cling to my Saviour and never depart,

I will joyfully journey each day;

With a song on my lips and song in my heart,

That my sins have been taken away

Chorus

They are nailed to the cross, they

are nailed to the cross,

O how much He was willing to bear!

With what anguish and loss, Jesus

went to the cross!

And He carried my sins with Him there!
