Death Was Arrested

Something to ponder as we approach Easter

https://youtu.be/AwgWbIOt0ko

Alone in my sorrow and dead in my sin Lost without hope with no place to begin Your love Made a way to let mercy come in When death was arrested and my life began

Ash was redeemed only beauty remains My orphan heart was given a name My mourning grew quiet my feet rose to dance When death was arrested and my life began

Oh, Your grace so free Washes over me You have made me new Now life begins with You It's your endless love Pouring down on us You have made us new Now life begins with You

Released from my chains I'm a prisoner no more My shame was a ransom He faithfully bore He cancelled my debt and He called me His friend When death was arrested and my life began

Oh, Your grace so free Washes over me You have made me new Now life begins with You It's your endless love Pouring down on us You have made us new Now life begins with You

Our savior displayed on a criminal's cross Darkness rejoiced as though heaven had lost But then Jesus arose with our freedom in hand That's when death was arrested and my life began

Oh, Your grace so free Washes over me You have made me new Now life begins with You It's your endless love Pouring down on us You have made us new Now life begins with You

Oh, we're free, free Forever we're free Come join the song Of all the redeemed

Yes, we're free free Forever amen When death was arrested and my life began
