[Spoken Intro]

“What kind of love is this, friends? What kind of love is that is so big, so without bounds, that He would come, He would want, He would want to do so much to rescue people who wanted nothing to do with Him? Who fought Him even when He came to cleave us from hell?

What kind of love is it that sees us in our filth, comes to rescue us, sees us resist that rescue, but continues to rescue us anyway? What foolishness is this? That He would come offer us rescue and we would say, “No!” Why? What are we gaining by our resistance? Oh, how glorious He is, that He saw you like that and didn’t give up!”


[Verse 1: Steve Cobucci]

Oh, now my Son

Here is a company of miserable souls

Cold and undone

Searing their conscience with hearts black as coals

Here now they lie

Objects of justice, deserving of wrath

Speak Your reply

What shall be done for them? Draw out your path


[Refrain: Nick Detty]

No one can contain the power and depths

Of My abundant love

[Verse 2: Steve Cobucci and Nick Detty]

Father, I say, such is My love and my pity for all

There is a way for no condemnation on men to befall

Whoa, such is my love and pity for all

Whoa, no man can pay, I’ll make a way

Whoa, such is my love and pity for all

Whoa, no man can pay, I’ll make a way

[Verse 3: Steve Cobucci and Nick Detty]

No man can pay

Utterly broke and poor to settle their debt

Though all’ve gone their way

I’ll yield a way for their sins to forget

Sins to forget (Sins to forget)

Sins to forget (Sins to forget)

[Chorus: Steve Cobucci and Nick Detty]

Bring in all their sins

Lay it all on Me

Bring in all their sins

Lay it all on Me

Bring in all their sins

Every last bill that they owe

Lay it all on Me

For what they reap I will sow

Bring in all their sins

Every last bill that they owe

Lay it all on Me

[Bridge: Steve Cobucci and Nick Detty]

The place these souls have found themselves

Is one of great distress

For even all their righteousness is just a filthy mess

O My Son, You must understand

That if I show mercy

You must reckon to pay

The last bit of My rage

For justice reigns upon this throne;

Perfection without flaw

How can the wicked find their peace

And still have broken every law?


[Verse 4: Steve Cobucci]

Let it be so

Charge it on me

For I can bear the weight of sin

So all would be free

[Chrous: Steve Cobucci and Nick Detty]

Bring in all their sins

Every last bill that they owe

Lay it all on Me

For what they reap I will sow

Bring in all their sins

Lay it all on Me

[Bridge: Steve Cobucci and Nick Detty]

Blush O man, let shame hide your face

For one of infinite worth

Has left His throne for His death

Which proves for our salvation

Oh people hear my cries

With all our lusts and all our lies

When the truth’s come face to face

Did we earn such love and grace?

No we haven’t earned a thing

And there is nothing we can bring

To settle this age old rift

And receive this perfect gift


[Verse 6: Steve Cobucci]

If only you knew of the grace

And love that Our God has for all

You’d turn and look into the face

Of Jesus the Savior Who calls


[Bridge: Nick Detty]

Oh people hear my cries

With all our lusts and all our lies

When the truth’s come face to face

Did we earn such love and grace?

Oh we couldn’t earn a thing

And there is nothing we can bring

So receive this love and grace

Believe His love and grace!
