We Have Been Healed

Browsing through some blogs, I found this song by Sovereign Grace Ministries from Covenant Life Church: We Have Been Healed. Its inspiration has been drawn from 1 Peter 2:22-25, which says,

22 “He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.”
23 When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.
24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.
25 For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

VS 1
You bore our sins in Your body
As You were hung on a tree,
So we might die to rebellion
And live for him who set us free

VS 2
You were mocked and reviled
Suffering in our place
Trusting all to Your Father
So enemies could know Your grace

CH
We have been healed, justified
Made alive in the life of Christ
Righteous blood covers every sin
Risen Lamb, heaven’s light
Crucified and now alive
In Your love, You have drawn us in

VS 3
Like straying sheep we were wandering
Destitute and alone
You sought us out like a shepherd
You carried us and brought us home

BR
All our sin for your grace
What a glorious exchange
All our sin for your grace
What a glorious exchange
All our sin for your grace
What a glorious exchange
