Ever since His birth men sought to take His Life
They loved the darkness, He was the light
Into this world he came down from His throne
Born to do His Father's will, not to do His own
Redeemer of the world set the captives free
Paid the awful price of sin for you and me

Innocent blood shed for me
Holy sacrifice of love lifted high for all to see
Innocent blood in God's name
Jesus took the blame
His blood was innocent

Falsely accused they sentenced Him to death
But He forgave them with His dying breath
He could have called the angels to His side
But out of love for you He chose to die
Redeemer of the world set the captives free
Paid the awful price of sin for you and me

Innocent blood shed for me (you)
Holy sacrifice of love (open up your heart)
Lifted high for all to see (you'll be surprised what he will do)
Innocent blood in God's name
Jesus took the blame
His blood was innocent
