Where the holiest saint would have stumbled
Where the truest believer would fall
All temptation was heaped on His shoulders
But Christ bore it all
Where the mightiest man would have crumbled
Where the bravest of hearts would submit
Jesus faced ev'ry trial of the devil
And He never quit
Jesus has conquered where we were defeated
Jesus has triumphed where we've only failed
Jesus was stronger, never surrendered
He has lived in our place, the Champion of faith
Jesus lived for the will of His Father
Perfect love with His heart, soul, and mind
Never ceased for a moment from worship
But poured out His life
Jesus earned in our place by obedience
By fulfilling the whole of the law
Perfect peace with the Judge and right standing
The blessing of God
Jesus Christ is our righteousness
Made alive, may we live for Him
Jesus Christ is our righteousness
All we have known is sin, but He knew no sin
