How much He loved us
is so incredibly divine. We can know
(That, wherever we go on this old earth,
He is sure to with us go,
Once we give our heart and soul to He,
who came down from above,
To implant into our hearts)
all this wonderful, awesome, love.

To follow in His footsteps
would be a gift, of heartfelt love,
To render to our sweet Savior,
who came from high up above;
Walking in our stead for all the sinful
trail of years in our life.
Oh, how it must have pained
our loving Savior, filled Him with strife.

But, He went the way. He saved the day
for all sin that ever was, or will be.
His love overpowered all things,
that He might save you and me.
In our stead, He walked, there,
to the old cross, never halting at all,
That we could come, through Him,
to the Father with only a call.

So, stay behind me Satan. My heart
and soul belongs to Jesus, divine.
For, in our stead, He gave all the love
there is to your heart and mine.
Not flinching, not regretting,
but onward went, each day He led
To take the punishment that was ours.
Our Lord went in our stead.
