The sins of a hundred billion – v2

Christ died for all of us

the sins of a hundred billion,

all who have ever lived

since the dawn of creation.

You made us Lord

to walk with us;

You sent your Son

to offer us love.

Christ died for all of us

the sins of a hundred billion,

taking on our shame

that we may walk with You.

why do I matter

I join the psalmist, David,

this is beyond my comprehension

why the Creator of the universe

would care about me

why do I matter, to you, o God,

why do we have this love letter

written by your hand

How can I thank you

what can I give

this gift beyond measure

because of you, I am,

because of you, I live.
