Representative Text

1. All praise to the Son,
For what He has done,
My sins has freely forgiven;
His blood has sufficed,
I'm an heir with Christ,
An heir to the kingdom of heaven.

Chorus:
The blood has sufficed,
I'm an heir with Christ;
An heir to the heavenly kingdom;
A creature of earth by His matchless worth,
Is made an heir to the kingdom.

2. Despising the shame,
To earth here He came
That an heir with Himself He might own me,
By dying for me
On the cruel tree;
O, rare condescension He's shown me! [Chorus]

3. The Father is pleased,
His wrath is appeased,
He smiles thro' the Son so forgiving;
His blood for me spilt,
Takes away my guilt,
And now by His word I am living. [Chorus]

4. A rebel was I,
Condemned soon to die,
When Christ to me offered salvation;
So, dying one, you
May for pardon sue,
And share in this great exaltation. [Chorus]
