The King Died In My Place


I was just telling a dear sister of mine that I wrote this song especially for Yeshua in 2003.  I always wanted someone to put it to music for me, but no one, not even my Richard and his beautiful songs, ever felt led to do it.  I told Richard that I'll bet since I wrote this for Yeshua, He wants ME to sing it to Him when we meet face to face!  I pray He loves it as much as I love Him!  Peggy


As I stand before the Throne,
and see Him face to face,
there will be no condemnation,
for Christ died in my place. 

CHORUS

His blood was shed in agony,
pain etched in His face.
My sins were washed away,
yes, the King died in my place!
 

My sins will be as snow then,
all due to His grace;
sanctified by His sweet blood,
the King died in my place. 

When He calls me to Him,
and finally we embrace,
I’ll tell Him, “Thank You, Jesus,
for dying in my place!”
