For through Your suffering I am free.

He shed His blood for me

And shut His glories in
When Christ, the mighty Maker, died
For man, the creature's, sin

You unravel me with a melody
You Surround me with a song
Of deliverance from my enemies
Till all my fears are gone

You are, the word became flesh
Bore my sin and death
Now You're risen
