Death Was Arrested - New City Church

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
It’s your endless love, pouring down on us
You have made us 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

Our Savior 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

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

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

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 When death was arrested and my life began When death was arrested and my life began
