The Great Exchange (2011), Pt. 2

Yo, yo
The Son was forsaken
The Law-Keeper cursed for our covenant-breaking
His love is unceasing
Now we get blessed for His covenant-keeping
Since You kept the Law
Then were crushed and suffered wrath for mad sin
You impressed our God
And brought His justice double satisfaction

Solution number one: (C'mon) God counts us righteous
Through His loving Son (Yeah)
Solution two: (Bring it) Christ died in our place
The substitute for you
Three days later, rose from the grave
Buried our sin, showed it was paid
Behold, Jеsus Christ, He lives
Alive now to bе our righteousness

This is Imputation
My sin imputed to He who was bruised on a tree
This is Imputation
Now all Christ's righteousness imputed to me
This is justification
I'm not guilty because You suffered the payment
This is justification
I'm counted righteous 'cause I trust and embrace Him
This is why He's faithful and just
To forgive us, 'cause He paid for our lust
Yo, He's faithful and just
'Cause, His righteousness, He placed it on us
So when you see your unworthiness
And when you see your scum's dirtiest
Just come to Christ like this
Say, "Here's my sin, give me Your righteousness"

This is the Great Exchange
All my sin placed on Christ who takes the blame
And makes the trade
His righteousness placed on me, I praise His name
This is the Great Exchange
All my sin placed on Christ who takes the blame
And makes the trade
His righteousness placed on me, His grace displayed
Nothing's greater, that Christ the Lord of glory
Fulfilled the Law, performed it for me
What a Savior, that Christ the Lord of glory
Took all my sin and bore it for me
Abundant favor, Christ the Lord of glory
Spilled all His blood and poured it for me
Trust and savor, Christ the Lord of glory
Endured the wrath of God, absorbed it for me

Perhaps you never understood this stuff
For God, you feel you're never good enough
From the moment you arise in the morning
You relate to God by your performance
The accusing threats of Satan to the brethren
Brutal devastation when it sets in
So choose this medication in depression
The truthful declaration you can rest in
All of your sins are cancelled and deleted
As accepted as the Lamb where He is seated
This Church, He won't abandon it or leave
Yo, every day, you stand in Him completed
Every day you're seen with righteousness
You're free to come to Jesus Christ and rest
So in prayer, you can come to Him boldly
In Christ as the righteous Son who is holy
Since He took all the wrath for you
And did all the works that we had to do
Achieving righteousness that's absolute
God's satisfied in all His attributes
Since righteousness, God's providin'
To bring us close is not compromisin'
This does give us reason in which to worship
Clothed in Jesus, we are fit for service
The Father gave His finest
The giving of Christ is the greatest kindness
Beholding this will make us prideless
Beholding this will sanctify us
Since God put a punishment on Him
We're free to repent when confronted for our sin
But the most important application
Is to glorify and gladly praise Him

This is the Great Exchange
All my sin placed on Christ who takes the blame
And makes the trade
His righteousness placed on me, I praise His name
This is the Great Exchange
All my sin placed on Christ who takes the blame
And makes the trade
His righteousness placed on me, His grace displayed
Nothing's greater, that Christ the Lord of glory
Fulfilled the Law, performed it for me
What a Savior, that Christ the Lord of glory
Took all my sin and bore it for me
Abundant favor, Christ the Lord of glory
Spilled all His blood and poured it for me
Trust and savor, Christ the Lord of glory
Endured the wrath of God, absorbed it for me

It's by faith that we're justified
And that's faith in the Son of God, Son of God
Justified in His name, [?]
Divine gift - justification
God treats me like I lived the perfect life of Christ
