Death Was Arrested

Alone in my sorrow and dead in my sin,

Lost without hope with no place to begin;

Your love made a way to let mercy come in,

When death was arrested and my life began.

 

Ash was redeemed only beauty remains;

My orphan heart was given a name.

My mourning grew quiet, my feet rose to dance,

When death was arrested and my life began.

 

CHORUS

Oh, Your grace, so free, washes over me.

You have made me new, now life begins with You.

It's Your endless love pouring down on us.

You have made us new, now life begins with You.

 

Released from my chains I'm a pris'ner no more.

My shame was a ransom He faithfully bore.

He cancelled my debt and He called me His friend,

When death was arrested and my life began.

 

CHORUS

Oh, Your grace, so free, washes over me.

You have made me new, now life begins with You.

It's Your endless love pouring down on us.

You have made us new, now life begins with You.

 

Our Savior displayed on a crimminal's cross.

Darkness rejoiced as though heaven had lost.

But then Jesus arose with our freedom in hand.

That's when death was arrested and my life began.

 

CHORUS

Oh, Your grace, so free, washes over me.

You have made me new, now life begins with You.

It's Your endless love pouring down on us.

You have made us new, now life begins with You.

ENDING 2x

Oh we're free, free; forever we're free.

Come join the song of all the redeemed

Yes, we're free, free; forever amen!

When death was arrested and my life began.
