The Price I Should Have Paid Lyrics

Sometimes I think about that old rugged cross

And how He gave His life so freely to save the lost.

How He conquered death, hell, and the grave

And that tremendous price that He paid

It should've been, me, to carry that cross up that hill

Why wasn't it, me, it was my blood that was supposed to be split

And those, nails, should have pierced my hands that day

But He went, and took my place the price I should've paid

The price I should've paid was so supreme

So why was He so willing to lay down his life for me and

Wasn't it enough to pay for my every sin

That even while on the cross He said Father forgive them

His love must've been great to do that for me

To take my place on that dogwood tree

So unworthy yet the son of God of was slain

His blood sprinkled the mercy seat to pay

The price I should've paid
