Subject: In My Place

 

My ears perk up when I hear a contemporary song that seeks to express more substantive biblical truths like propitiation (Christ's death on the cross which turns away God's wrath over sin) and the vicarious atonement (Christ's sacrifice was substitutionary in nature...He took our place on the cross).  This song by Matt Boswell and Michael Bleeker is based on 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 and Romans 5:8-9. In my place, He stood condemned He who knew no sin became sin for us That we might become, His righteousness Bearing all my sin and shame The punishment and blame  He conquered the grave That we might become, the heirs of grace In my place, Jesus died The spotless Lamb laid down His life The wrath of God was satisfied In my place, Jesus died   Nail pierced hands, Bleeding side, His body bruised, My God crucified A crown of thorns, Dying cries, His flesh was torn, My God crucified Hallelujah, What a Savior!
