"This song is a simple doxology of sorts, a meditation on Psalm 145. 'The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love' (v 8). 'The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them' (vv 18-19). His AMAZING GRACE! The chorus of this song declares it: You lived the life I could never live/You died the death that I deserve/You rose to life and now You live!/That's how You forgive. The Gospel empowers us. Not just at one moment in our lives, but every day, every hour. Because of what He did, we are free! Free to live. Free to fail. Free to love. Free to give without return because all of the return we would ever need is found in Him!"
