What a glorious exchange!

Continuing on the theme of imputation: lately I have been reading Christian Spirituality: Five Views of Sanctification, and through this book, learning much about understandings of sanctification that differ from my own preconceived view... and finding myself more grounded in my view!

A song has struck me on the exchange of sin and righteousness, and God's immeasurable grace and mercy. For your listening pleasure and edification, listen to We Have Been Healed by Sovereign Grace Music

Lyrics:
You bore our sins in Your body
As You were hung on a tree
So we might die to rebellion
And live for Him who set us free

You were mocked and reviled
Suffering in our place
Trusting all to Your Father
So enemies could know Your grace

Chorus
We have been healed, justified
Made alive in the life of Christ
Righteous blood covers every sin
Risen Lamb, heaven's light
Crucified and now alive
In Your love You have drawn us in

Like straying sheep we were wandering
Destitute and alone
You sought us out like a shepherd
You carried us and brought us home

Bridge
All our sin for Your grace
What a glorious exchange

All our sin for Your grace
What a glorious exchange

All our sin for Your grace
What a glorious exchange
