Instead Lyrics


INSTEAD
V1: When I was brought to judgment
'twas nothing I could say
And guilty was the verdict
still I am walking free todayCH: I am the chief of sinners
should have been left for dead
My penalty, death on a tree
Jesus paid insteadV2: When I did waste my blessing
a squandered precious gift
upon the Sheperd's shoulder
this lost lamb he did liftCH: I am the chief of sinners
should have been left for dead
My penalty, death on a tree
Jesus paid insteadV3: When on a road to nowhere
bound to end with God's wrath
I drew the fire aimed at me
the he stepped into it's pathCH: I am the chief of sinners
should have been left for dead

My penalty, death on a tree
Jesus paid instead

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
