This Sunday we sing a new version of an old song. And Can It Be? sets the story of every Christian to a beautiful melody. It's nothing short of a miracle that we now adore a crucified Savior. We who were imprisoned in sin have been liberated by Jesus. We live forever to know and enjoy Him. All of this is His doing and it makes us glad to sing.

AND CAN IT BE?

Verse 1
And can it be that I should gain
An int’rest in the Savior’s blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love, how can it be
That Thou my God shouldst die for me?

Chorus
Amazing love, how can it be
That Thou my God shouldst die for me?

Verse 2
He left His Father’s throne above
So free, so infinite His grace
Emptied Himself of all but love
And bled for Adam’s helpless race
’Tis mercy all, immense and free
For O my God, it found out me!

Verse 3
Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night
Thine eye diffused a quick’ning ray
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light
My chains fell off, my heart was free
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee

Verse 4
No condemnation now I dread
Jesus and all in Him, is mine
Alive in Him, my living Head
And clothed in righteousness divine
Bold I approach th’ eternal throne
And claim the crown, through Christ my own
