Though You Were Rich

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Born a babe, a virgin birth My God the high and lofty One, You came to earth To be a slave, servant of all You washed my feet, You took my fall [Chorus] Though You were rich, You became poor That You would die, that I might live You poured out Your soul even to death Taking my sin just to forgive me [Verse 2] Then they led You down the road To a hill called Calvary You took the nails in Your hands and feet You drank the cup of wrath that was reserved for me [Chorus] Though You were rich, You became poor That You would die, that I might live You poured out Your soul even to death Taking my sin just to forgive me [Verse 3] Laid in the ground, a stone cold tomb The wrath of God resting on You You knew no sin, yet sin became From the foundation You are the Lamb who was slain [Verse 4] Up from the grave You rose again You hold the keys of death and hell, You've conquered sin You paid my debt, a costly price I know that I will be with You in Paradise [Chorus] Though You were rich, You became poor That You would die, that I might live You poured out Your soul even to death Taking my sin just to forgive me And though You were rich, You became poor That You would die, that I might live You poured out Your soul even to death Taking my sin just to forgive me
