It was the mercy of our God where all my hopes began When through the water and the blood, He washed my soul from sin For it was not by righteousness that my own hands had done But I was saved by sovereign grace abounding through His Son In the cross my soul found rest By Christ's wondrous sacrifice For justice met with mercy then And God was satisfied And there my soul found rest It was the holy love of God that took my penalty The Judge and Savior gave Himself for my iniquity Then from the fountain of His grace, I felt forgiveness flow To wash away the deepest sin my heart had ever known In the cross my soul found rest By Christ's wondrous sacrifice For justice met with mercy then And God was satisfied For justice met with mercy then Pure white mingled with red As my Lord bled And there my soul found rest My soul found rest
