God Paid the Cost Himself in Christ
By Zeres Vitto
Verse 1 – Genesis
In Eden’s dawn when trust was torn,
A promise whispered through the fall,
The Seed would come, the cost be borne,
God would not abandon all.
On Moriah’s hill a father climbed,
Wood on the back of the promised son,
The knife was raised, the heart was tried,
But Heaven said, “It is not done.”
Pre-Chorus
A ram appeared where death had stood,
Blood in the thorns, mercy understood,
A shadow cast across all time,
Of love that pays what law requires.
Chorus
God paid the cost Himself in Christ,
His Son stepped down, the Lamb was slain.
What justice asked, love sacrificed,
Grace was written in His pain.
From altar stone to Calvary’s tree,
From oath to oath, from scar to scar,
The price was paid eternally,
Behold the cost… behold God’s Lamb!
Verse 2 – The Cross
No angel stayed the Father’s hand
When heaven’s Son hung cursed and torn.
The sky grew dark, the earth couldn’t stand,
As God hid His face that morn.
The fire fell, the wrath was spent,
Not on the sinner—but on the Son.
The cry was real, the veil was rent,
Redemption’s cost forever paid.
Pre-Chorus
The law was honored, mercy free,
The cross became the mercy seat,
Where truth and grace in anguish met,
And love refused to count the debt.
Chorus
God paid the cost Himself in Christ,
His Son stepped down, the Lamb was slain.
What justice asked, love sacrificed,
Grace was written in His pain.
From altar stone to Calvary’s tree,
From oath to oath, from scar to scar,
The price was paid eternally,
3:33 Behold the cost… behold God’s Lamb!
Verse 3 – Resurrection & Intercession
He rose still marked by open wounds,
The scars not erased, but glorified.
Before the throne, forever He stands,
Our living proof, our crucified.
Hands that bleed now plead our case,
Feet once pierced now tread heaven’s temple
The wounded Lamb in royal grace
Still bears the cost forevermore.
Bridge – Revelation
And over God's throne a rainbow stands,
A covenant sealed by wounded hands.
Mercy remembered, judgment past,
Love’s vow unbroken, holding fast.
The redeemed rise, a living sign,
Of blood-bought hope, of grace divine,
Every face, every song declares
The cost was paid… and we are there.
Final Chorus
God paid the cost Himself in Christ,
The scars still speak though death is gone.
Eternal proof of love’s great price,
The Lamb still bears what He has done.
From Genesis to endless days,
From promise sworn to promise sealed,
All heaven sings, all time will say:
The cost was paid: God’s love revealed.
Outro – Eternity
No more death, no final tear,
Yet still the scars remain in sight,
Not as wounds, but as trophies clear,
Of love that conquered endless night.
And ages roll, yet this remains:
A throne, a Lamb, a rainbow bright,
God forever remembers the cost,
God paid the cost Himself in Christ
his love forever we’ll behold
