death was arrested

alone in my sorrow and dead in my sin

lost without hope with no place to begin

your love made a way to let mercy come in

when death was arrested and my life began

ash was redeemed only beauty remains

my orphan heart

was given a name

my mourning grew quiet

my feet rose to dance

when death was arrested and my life began

oh your grace

so free

washes over me

you have made me new

now life begins with you

released from my chains i'm a prisoner no more

my shame was a ransom he faithfully bore

he cancelled my debt and he called me his friend

when death was arrested and my life began

oh your grace

so free

washes over me

you have made me new

now life begins with you

it's your endless love

pouring down on us

you have made us new

now life begins with you

ohh with you

our saviour displayed on a criminal's cross

darkness rejoiced as though heaven had lost

but then jesus arose with our freedom in hand

that's when death was arrested and my life began

ohhh!

oh your grace

so free

washes over me

you have made me new

now life begins with you

ohh

it's your endless love

pouring down on us

you have made us new

now life begins with you

oh we're free

free

forever we're free

come join the song

of all the redeemed

yes we're free

free

forever amen

when death was arrested and my life began

we're free

free

forever we're free

come join the song

of all the redeemed

yes we're free

free

forever amen

when death was arrested and my life began

when death was arrested and my life

began
