The Price
MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB
HIS NAME WAS JESUS CHRIST
HE WAS THE ONLY SON OF GOD
AND WAS SENT TO PAY THE PRICE
HE GREW INTO A MIGHTY MAN
WITHOUT A SINGLE VICE
JESUS WAS THE ONLY ONE
WHO COULD BE THE
SACRIFICE
HE GATHERED TWELVE AROUND HIM
AND TAUGHT THEM WRONG FROM RIGHT
ONE WAS PAID TO BETRAY HIM
THIRTY PIECES WAS THE
PRICE
HE HEALED THE SICK AND BLINDED
AND RAISED OTHERS FROM THE DEAD
HE PROMISED WE COULD DO THE SAME
IF BY THE SPIRIT WE'RE
LED
THE PROPHETS TOLD OF HIM DYING
THAT HE WOULD HANG UPON A TREE
THE SON OF GOD CAME DOWN TO EARTH
TO PAY THE PRICE FOR
YOU AND ME
WHIPPED, SCOURGED, AND REVILED
HIS OWN RECEIVED HIM NOT
WITH THE BLOOD HE SHED UPON THE CROSS
OUR ETERNAL LIFE HE
BOUGHT
BY ROMAN LAW HE WAS NAILED TO A CROSS
THROUGH HIS HANDS AND THROUGH HIS FEET
THE BLOOD HE SHED UPON THE CROSS
SENT SATAN TO HIS
DEFEAT
JESUS WAS THE PERFECT LAMB
TO MAKE THE SACRIFICE
THE WAGE OF SIN IS ETERNAL DEATH
BUT THIS LAMB HAS PAID
THE PRICE
ETERNAL LIFE WAS BOUGHT FOR ME
BY THE BLOOD THAT JESUS SHED
IF YOU'RE NOT COVERED BY THAT BLOOD
TO HIM YOU'RE
ETERNALLY DEAD
