Beautiful Exchange
Hillsong United · Other Songs - Hillsong United
Disillusioned I was lost and insecure
Still mercy fought, For my attention
You were waiting at the door, Then I let You in
Trading Your life, For my offenses
For my redemption, You carried all the blame
Breaking the curse, Of our condition
Perfection took our place
When only love
Could make a way
You gave Your life
In a beautiful exchange
My burden erase, my life forgiven
There is nothing, that could take this love away
My only desire, and sole ambition
Is to love You just the same
When only love
Could make a way
You gave Your life
In a beautiful exchange
When only love
Could break these chains
You gave Your life
In a beautiful exchange
Holy are You God
Holy is Your name
With everything I've got
My heart will sing how I love You
