And can it be that I should gain
An int’rest in the Savior’s blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain?
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

’Tis mystery all! The Immortal dies!
Who can explore His strange design?
In vain the firstborn seraph tries
To sound the depths of love Divine!
’Tis mercy all! let earth adore,
Let angel minds inquire no more.
’Tis mercy all! let earth adore,

He left His Father’s throne above,
So free, so infinite His grace;
Emptied Himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam’s helpless race:
’Tis mercy all, immense and free;
For, O my God, it found out me.
’Tis mercy all, immense and free;
For, O my God, it found out me.

Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night;
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray,
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.

My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.

No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine!
Alive in Him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness Divine,
Bold I approach the eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.
Bold I approach the eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.

The unbridled love Jesus showed for us, when dying on the cross is truly amazing, and should never become dull to any of us.
(Romans 7-9)
" …7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from wrath through Him! …"

Even when reading this it brings a smile to my face with joy and thankfulness to God, that through Jesus death, my soul is forgiven and free!
Also for those who don't know Charles Wesley wrote the song, but Thomas Campbell wrote the tune, which is called "Sagina".

"Tis mercy all, immense and free; for, O my God! It out me.

I woke up from my sleep at around 12 midnight singing this beautiful rendition. It gives me such great hope and wonderful promises of that Great Day where I will be free at last.

Stanza 5: Re-echo my confirmation in Him Jesus that I am fully justified by Him and in His blood. Hence no condemnation for me anylonger. No matter what people say has no justification on me anymore. I have the boldness and right to approach the throne of grace anytime I need.
