Instead Lyrics - Mosaic - Ricky Skaggs

INSTEAD 

V1: When I was brought to judgment 

'twas nothing I could say 

And guilty was the verdict 

still I am walking free today 

CH: I am the chief of sinners 

should have been left for dead 

My penalty, death on a tree 

Jesus paid instead 

V2: When I did waste my blessing 

a squandered precious gift 

upon the Sheperd's shoulder 

this lost lamb he did lift 

CH: I am the chief of sinners 

should have been left for dead 

My penalty, death on a tree 

Jesus paid instead 

V3: When on a road to nowhere 

bound to end with God's wrath 

I drew the fire aimed at me 

the he stepped into it's path 

CH: I am the chief of sinners 

should have been left for dead 

My penalty, death on a tree 

Jesus paid instead
