Sweet Life

A life brought down to nothing
Marred and stained by sin
I was loaded down
With sorrow, guilt and shame
Condemned by my transgressions
And imprisoned by my fears
And longing for the key
To loose me from my chains

Reaching out in desperation
I claimed the Christ of Calvary
All my sin, shame and condemnation
By His blood was washed away

What a sweet life
Washed in the blood and fully forgiven
Clothed in His righteousness
Headed for heaven
No condemnation abides in my soul
I have been made whole
What a sweet life
All my sins which were scarlet
Are whiter than snow
All washed away by Calvary's flow
Blessed assurance the song that I sing
I have been made clean
What a sweet life, oh...

You've searched both high and low
To find that healing stream
A place to wash away all guilt and shame
All the memories have haunted you
With deeds from yesterday
No matter where you turn
There's just more hurt and pain

But from a rugged cross
Two thousand years ago the answer came
Redemption and forgiveness full and free
Condemnation's power
Was stripped away with just one blow
For though the blood of Jesus
Every sinner is made whole

What a sweet life
Washed in the blood and fully forgiven
Clothed in His righteousness
Headed for heaven
No condemnation abides in my soul
I have been made whole
What a sweet life
All my sins which were scarlet
Are whiter than snow
All washed away by Calvary's flow
Blessed assurance the song that I sing
I have been made clean
What a sweet life

Oh, what a sweet life
Washed in the blood and fully forgiven
Clothed in His righteousness
Headed for heaven
No condemnation abides in my soul
I have been made whole
What a sweet life
All my sins which were scarlet
Are whiter than snow
All washed away by Calvary's flow
Blessed assurance the song that I sing
I have been made clean
What a sweet life, oh...

Oh, what a sweet life
What a sweet life

Sweet, sweet life
Sweet, sweet, sweet life...
