Death was Arrested

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

Ash was redeemed only beauty remained

My orphan heart was given a name

My mourning grew quiet my feet rose to dance

When death was arrested and my life began


[Chorus 1 ]

Oh Your grace so free washes over me

You have made me new now life begins with You

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus 2]

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 me new no life begins with You

[Verse 4]

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

[Bridge]

We’re free, free, forever we’re free

Come join the song of all the redeemed

We’re free, free, forever amen

When death was arrested and my life began
