What is this thing, that You have done for me?

What is this thing that You have done for me?

Leaving Your throne on high

Lowering Yourself without hesitation

Sent by the Father

Sent to redeem, sent to save, sent to pay the price

Sent to wash clean this stained life

What is this thing that You have done for me?

Born of a virgin, in a stable low

Visited by shepherds and kings

As angels sang on high, glorify

You are here

Sent by the Father

Sent to redeem, sent to save, sent to pay the price

Sent to wash clean this stained life

What is this thing that You have done for me?

Walking among the crowds

The scribes, the ordinary, the fishermen, the tax collector

The sinners like me

You taught who would listen, You healed the sick

You loved

As You brought the Light, brought the Way

Sent by the Father

Sent to redeem, sent to save, sent to pay the price

Sent to wash clean this stained life.

What is this thing that You have done for me?

Leaving Your throne on High

Suffering the insults, the rejection

suffering the blows of the whip, tearing at Your flesh

Your blood running free

A crown of thorns shoved upon Your brow, You suffered

As You were sent to endure

Sent to redeem, sent to save, sent to pay the price

sent to wash clean this stained life.

What is this thing that You have done for me?

As You were hung upon that cross

Nails drive through the flesh of Your hands and feet

Your pain evident in Your face

Yet You forgave in love, as You suffered, as You died

sent to redeem, sent to save, sent to pay the price

sent to wash clean this stained life.

What is this thing that You have done for me?

As You arose, walked alive from the borrowed tomb

The price paid, death defeated, sin's grip lost

Alive, You're alive, hallelujah arisen as promised

You're alive

sent to redeem, sent to save, sent to pay the price

sent to wash clean this stained life

Alive, You're alive and I am redeemed,

Alive, You're alive, and I am saved

washed clean in Your shed blood

thanks be to the Father, that You were sent

thanks be, to this thing, that You have done for me.

What is this thing, that You have done for me?

In Your death, in Your life arisen the price of my redemption paid

In Your death, in Your life arisen, my sins washed away

never forget, I'll never forget

as we celebrate, remember, give thanks

for this thing, that You have done, for me

this thing, that You have done, for all who will come

for all who will believe

amen
