Did you heed the word God spoke?
May His grace be told!
Did you know God's word awoke?
Lo! His grace was bold!
Christ grew as a tender shoot
May His grace be told!
Desert sands around His root
Lo! His grace was bold!
Holden eyes could not discern
May His grace be told!
Beauties God would have us learn
Lo! His grace was bold!
Darkened hearts would not esteem
May His grace be told!
Beauties which are heaven's theme.
Lo! His grace was bold!
Now my lightened heart can see
May His grace be told!
What He bore He bore for me
Lo! His grace was bold!
We like sheep have gone astray
May His grace be told!
Only Jesus walked God's way
Lo! His grace was bold!
He has borne the sins of all
May His grace be told!
Who in faith have heard His call
Lo! His grace was bold!
As a lamb led out to die
May His grace be told!
He made no complaining cry
Lo! His grace was bold!
He was captured and oppressed
May His grace be told!
So that I am freed and blessed
Lo! His grace was bold!
Who shall tell Messiah's seed?
May His grace be told!
Those who have been blessed and freed
Lo! His grace was bold!
From the land of those who live
May His grace be told!
Cut off: so God may forgive
Lo! His grace was bold!
For the evils of my folk
May His grace be told!
Christ has borne God's judgment stroke
Lo! His grace was bold!
Men assigned a felons grave
May His grace be told!
God ensure a rich man's cave
Lo! His grace was bold!
He had done no violence
May His grace be told!
He spoke no malevolence
Lo! His grace was bold!
By God's will His Christ was bruised
May His grace be told!
By man's will He was abused
Lo! His grace was bold!
He became an offering
May His grace be told!
From that death what seed shall spring
Lo! His grace was bold!
Long is His life in that land
May His grace be told!
God's joy burgeons in His hand
Lo! His grace was bold!
Seed is sprouting since He died
May His grace be told!
And His heart is satisfied
Lo! His grace was bold!
God would have this Man to teach
May His grace be told!
Who through grace stood in the breach
Lo! His grace was bold!
God would have Him celebrate
May His grace be told!
Sharing with the strong and great
Lo! His grace was bold!
Reckoned with those who transgress
May His grace be told!
He poured out His soul to bless
Lo! His grace was bold!
He bore sin for souls in need
May His grace be told!
Listen to Him intercede
Lo! His grace was bold!
