Lyrics

God Did Not Spare His Son
VERSE 1:
Isaac saw it gleaming, the knife of Abraham
God spared Isaac but not by the ram
Only God Himself prevailed against the sin of man
Only God could do it, truly God and truly man
God must provide the Lamb

CHORUS:
God did not spare His Son
God did not spare His Son
For our sins he delivered Him up
God did not spare His son
( O, Hallelujah, God did not spare His Son)
VERSE 2:
Night time in the garden the bleeding Jesus lay
“Father let this cup pass”, three times He did pray
Angels came to help Him; there was no other way
There was no other answer and Jesus would obey
Trembling for the coming day

CHORUS

Verse 3:
Others bore a beating, others crucified
But this was not the horror of His sacrifice
It was our sin that He became that brought His anguished cry
“Why have You forsaken me?” as wrath poured from on high
He died the death we should have died

Verse 4:
An infinite Person took infinite wrath
He drank the bitter burning cup, drank it to the last
And when it was finished, the chains of hell he smashed
The spotless Lamb rose from the grave, it could not hold Him fast
But scars of His suffering last
CHORUS
BRIDGE: Christ gave His life willingly, His joy was you, His joy was me
and how will not the Father give us all things, when He did not spare His darling!
