A chorus rising from the saints, a multitude like no others.
“The Lord God Omnipotent reigns,” they sing in unison,
In the halls of heaven, a new song begins.

For the marriage of the Lamb tells the eternal story.

                  Lyrics

                  The Price Paid

                  Verse 1

                  In the quiet of Gethsemane, a prayer was whispered low,
                  The weight of sin upon His shoulders, love’s true depth to show.
                  Not with gold or silver, but with His precious blood,
                  Christ bought our freedom, a mighty flood.

                  Chorus

                  The Price Paid, on Calvary’s hill,
                  The lamb slain, by His own will.
                  Redemption’s story, in His blood, we find,
                  The Price Paid, for all mankind.

                  Verse 2

                  Upon the rugged cross, He bore our shame and pain,
                  The spotless Lamb, for us was slain.
                  In every drop of blood, a promise of new life,
                  Victory in Jesus, over sin and strife.

                  Chorus

                  The Price Paid, on Calvary’s hill,
                  The lamb slain, by His own will.
                  Redemption’s story, in His blood, we find,
                  The Price Paid, for all mankind.

                  Bridge

                  In this act of love, profound and true,
                  Our sins are washed, we’re made anew.
                  O precious blood, that sets us free,
                  In Christ alone, our victory.

                  Chorus

                  The Price Paid, on Calvary’s hill,
                  The lamb slain, by His own will.
                  Redemption’s story, in His blood, we find,
                  The Price Paid, for all mankind.

                  Outro

                  Now we stand, in His grace,
                  Redeemed children, in His embrace.
                  The Price Paid, our hearts sing,
                  Forever grateful, to our King.
