Proxy (lyric I wrote today!)

Whew! Haven't posted for a while. Just to keep this blog active, I'm going to post the lyric I wrote today. I hope it blesses you! :D

Proxy

You wore my prison stripes
My dunce cap was Your crown
Humiliation once
Reserved for me alone

Bridge:
Your heart of mercy proved
Your love before my eyes
For You became the very thing
That You despised

Chorus:
You were sin on the cross
You were sin for all the lost
Jesus, our merciful proxy
You were sin on the tree
You were sin to rescue me
Jesus, my beautiful proxy

You stood in at my trial
My sentence was Your own
I can't conceive of the
Compassion that You've shown

Bridge

Chorus

You forgave the ones
Who nailed You there
You forgave the ones
Who hadn't heard
You forgave the ones
Who weren't yet born
Jesus You chose to
Love us first

Chorus x 2

My proxy, You stood in for me
My proxy, You stood in for me
