The death of Christ was for our sins,
we who were lost therein
But what does His death really mean?
It is to save from sin.
Suffrage for sin and gift of life
Change from carnal to spiritual mind
God’s personal act which justifies
That is why Jesus died.
Some say He died our death penalty
But it was provision
When you repent, believe, confess,
Then there’s application
Now that you’ve heard just why He died
And you have conviction
Repent of sins, believe, confess
Then you’ll have forgiveness.
Believe this truth and you will see
His death was not death penalty
Suffrage for sin and gift of life
Are what His death provides
This is why Jesus died.
