Before the fall of man, God had a perfect plan
To fellowship with us was His desire
But Adam disobeyed, to sin became a slave
Now a perfect sacrifice would be required
An offering must be made, the sin debt must be paid
So God and man could reconciled be
So Jesus said, “I’ll go,” because He loved me so
He shed His blood and paid sin’s penalty
He gave Himself to pay a debt I could not pay
When I was lost He gave Himself to be my way
Though I deserved to be upon the cross that day
In love He took my place and gave Himself
No greater love is known, no greater love is shown
Than when one lays his life down for a friend
But Jesus died for me, when I was His enemy
A love like this I cannot comprehend
He gave Himself to pay a debt I could not pay
When I was lost He gave Himself to be my way
Though I deserved to be upon the cross that day
In love He took my place and gave Himself
My nails were in His hands, my crown of thorns He wore
My stripes were on His back, my heavy cross He bore
And when God turned His back, He turned it on my sin
Jesus won a victory that I could never win
He gave Himself to pay a debt I could not pay
When I was lost He gave Himself to be my way
Though I deserved to be upon the cross that day
In love He took my place and gave Himself
In love He took my place…and gave Himself

This song has beautiful lyrics. Does anyone know where I could find the sheet music? I have such a hard time finding conservative Christian sheet music.
Hello! No, I'm sorry. I don't know where the sheet music can be found. I first heard the song sung by the John Marshall family. It is beautiful! =)
