Because of Christ (Live) Lyrics – The Belonging Co

Verse 1:
On a hill in Israel, mercy spoke for me
Mercy spoke for me, mercy spoke for me
It was on Golgotha’s tree His death brought liberty
His death brought liberty, oh, His death brought liberty

Chorus:
May I never boast in anything
Except the cross of Jesus Christ
May I not forget the blood He shed
It is by His death I am alive
Because of Christ, I am alive

Verse 2:
What a humble sacrifice, love that washed me clean
Love that washed me clean, oh, love that washed mе clean
What a blessed mystеry (Oh), His punishment, my peace
His punishment, my peace, His punishment, my peace

Chorus:
May I never boast in anything
Except the cross of Jesus Christ
May I not forget the blood He shed
It is by His death I am alive
May I never boast in anything
Except the cross of Jesus Christ
And may I not forget the blood He shed
It is by His death I am alive
Because of Christ, I am alive

Bridge:
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Praise the One who set me free
Death has lost its grip on me
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Jesus rose in victory
He’s alive, alive in me
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Praise the One who set me free
Death has lost its grip on me
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Jesus rose in victory
He’s alive, alive in me
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Praise the One who set me free
Death has lost its grip on me
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Jesus rose in victory
He’s alive, alive in me
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Praise the One who set me free
Death has lost its grip on me
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Jesus rose in victory
He’s alive, alive in me

Chorus:
May I never boast in anything
Except the cross of Jesus Christ
And may I not forget the blood He shed
It is by His death I am alive
Because of Christ, I am alive
Because of Christ, I am alive
Because of Christ, I am alive

Spontaneous:
Come on, just lift your voice tonight
Come on, just take a moment, lift your voice
Lift up your praise, lift up your praise
Lift up your praise, lift up your praise
Come on, lift up your praise
Come on, just take a moment, fill this house with praise
I know we’ve been singing for a bit, just take one more moment
And just fill it with praise, fill it with praise
Fill it with praise, fill it with praise
Fill it with praise, fill it with praise
Fill it with praise, fill it with praise

Bridge:
Sing hallelujah, hallelujah
Praise the One who set me free
Death has lost its grip on me
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Jesus rose in victory
He’s alive, alive in me (Yeah)
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Praise the One who set me free
Death has lost its grip on me
(C’mon on, sing it out loud)
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Jesus rose in victory
He’s alive, alive in me
(Sing it out, sing)
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Praise the One who set me free
Death has lost its grip on me
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Jesus rose in victory
He’s alive, alive in me
(Sing it out)
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Praise the One who set me free
Death has lost its grip on me
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Jesus rose in victory
He’s alive, alive in me

Somebody shout hallelujah (Hallelujah!)
Shout hallelujah (Hallelujah! Hallelujah!)
