Once For All


VERSE 1

Oh sin

The vilest root that claims the hearts of men

No sacrifice, no offering makes amends

For all we’ve done, for all we are within

 

VERSE 2

And death

That curse of sin awaits our final breath

The penalty that rests upon each head

But through the work of Christ, we’re not condemned

 

CHORUS

Once for all, you have overcome the grave

Sin no longer rules, and death no longer reigns

It’s swallowed up in victory, its sting has now been tamed

By the cross, our debt is washed away

Once for all, we’ve overcome the grave

VERSE 3

Through Christ

The righteous law’s requirement satisfied

Once for all, for he was crucified

Shed on the cross, his blood now testifies

 

BRIDGE

Sin’s curse removed! Oh church rejoice!

With cheerful voices raised!

Lift high propitiation’s song!

Atonement has been made!
