What You Took Away

Lord, I thank you for the blessings

You bestow on me each day.

But, most of all, I thank you, Lord,

For what you took away.

You took all my transgressions

And nailed them to the cross

So I wouldn't have to pay that debt.

Your Intercession paid the cost.

All that pain and misery

You suffered, there, was meant for me.

But, You took three nails for me, that day,

And I'm so grateful, Lord, for what you took away.

Now, I could never quite comprehend

Why you'd atone for all our sins.

Your enduring love was manifest that day

And, now, I love You, Lord, for what you took away.
