At Christ’s Expense

At Christ’s expense my soul is free
From sin and guilt and shame;
He paid the price to pardon me –
All glory to His Name!

At Christ’s expense I now belong
As child of God and heir;
My Father’s love is vast and strong
And keeps me in His care.

At Christ’s expense I have a home
That He’s prepared for me;
He made the way for me to come
And offered me the key.

At Christ’s expense I have a song,
True hope, real joy, God’s peace,
And while the ages roll along
His praise will never cease.

At Christ’s expense though I was poor
God made me rich in grace,
And now in Christ forevermore
I’ll share my Savior’s place.

“For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich.” 2 Corinthians 8:9
