My Heart is Swayed
The beauty and the bounty of my Christ I shall embrace
The beauty and the bounty of the wonders of His grace
He paid the highest cost to give the greatest gift
He bore that cruel cross and reached down that he might lift
That we might be with Him
To see his glory undimmed
In His suffering and death
We see His glory take our breath
My heart is swayed I’m so amazed
Of this power and holy boldness I’m in awe
He takes the empty place gives it back so full of grace
When He captures our hearts for His cause.
For on that cross all lifted up
He drank the measure of the cup
He loved and gave His life for me
And for all of those who would believe.
