Song Lyrics: Exchange by Sons Of Sunday
Riches for rags
Glory for shame
What a wonderful exchange
My Savior made for me
His was the cross
Mine was the blame
What a wonderful exchange
My Savior made for me
I will lift my eyes to Calvary
Where my Jesus died
And covered me
You gave it all
Now it’s paid in full
Lord I can’t believe You did that for me
I just can’t believe You did that for me
Oh yeah, You really did
Beauty for ash
Triumph for tears
What a wonderful exchange
My Savior made
That He made for me
His was the loss
Ohhh mine was the gain
What a wonderful exchange
My, my Savior
He made for me
I will lift my eyes to Calvary
Where my Jesus died
And covered me
You gave it all
Now it’s paid in full
Lord I can’t believe You did that for me
I just can’t believe You did that for me
He really did it
He really did it
My shame lost the battle
To my Savior’s love
If it comes chasing after
I’m covered under the blood
