The Atonement of our Savior Jesus Christ

At the Cross our Savior Jesus was imputed our sins, transgressions and iniquities.  He paid the penalty of all our evil and filth and vileness.  He satisfied divine justice in our behalf and absorbed our punishment in our stead.  The divine righteousness alone of our Savior Jesus was imputed to us by faith alone and the shadow of the Cross hides our sins.  We are washed whiter then snow and He cleansed of our sins.  We are not redeemed by something else but by the Cross of our Savior Jesus Christ.

Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my redemption,
Nor riches of earth could have saved my poor soul;
The blood of the cross is my only foundation,
The death of my Saviour now maketh me whole.

I am redeemed, but not with silver;
I am bought, but not with gold;
Bought with a price—the blood of Jesus,
Precious price of love untold.

Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my redemption,
The guilt on my conscience too heavy had grown;
The blood of the cross is my only foundation,
The death of my Saviour could only atone.

Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my redemption,
The holy commandment forbade me draw near;
The blood of the cross is my only foundation,
The death of my Saviour removeth my fear.

Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my redemption,
The way into heaven could not thus be bought;
The blood of the cross is my only foundation,
The death of my Saviour redemption hath wrought.
