My understanding
Of what the atonement means
Is forever expanding
And enhancing... as light beams
Offering Himself a sacrifice for sin
He answered the ends of the law
With contrite spirits and hearts that let Him in
The atonement's meaning becomes all that more broad
He is my Savior and Redeemer. He is glorious!
Ever He communicates His love. He does this for me
He is forever the meaning of one who is gracious
No tongue can express thanks adequately
Through Him, I can overcome
The consequences of mistakes
Through Him, I can become
One who repents and forsakes
He administers a balance
Between justice and mercy
Ever there's blessings
Through covenant observings
He lights up my mind
With fountains of truth
Oh, the blessings I find
As His spirit more soothes
My reverance and gratitude
For the holy Prince of Peace
Has only just begun to imbued
Christ-like purity, white as fleece
