Lyrics
1 Peter 1:18&19
Chorus:
I was not bought
With perishable things
Not with silver, or gold
Redeemed by the precious blood
Of Jesus Christ
He paid the highest price
The ultimate sacrifice
Looking at my life
All the way to childhood
Peering through the window
Of time
I saw myself sitting on life?s grocery shelf
Waiting for someone to pass me by
I had a price tag hanging round my neck
That no one was willing to pay
Until Jesus saw me there
And put me in his shopping cart.
Now that he saved me, I feel so happy
And even when I?m feeling down, I can still wear a smile
I?ve got to tell someone, of the joy I have found
That turn my life around
Gave me joy within and my confidence did build
And now I?m walking tall
No more sadness and no more frown
Cause Jesus paid it all.
Slide:
See him hung up on that tree
See him dying there for me
Setting my conscience free
And now I am whole
