His Robes for Mine
[Intro]

[Verse 1]
D Dsus4 G D
His robes for mine: O wonderful exchange!
D G Asus4 A
Clothed in my sin, Christ suffered 'neath God's rage.
G A Bm
Draped in His righ-teus-ness, I'm justified.
G A7 D
In Christ I live, for in my place He died.
[Chorus]
D Bm E/G# A
I cling to Christ and marvel at the cost;
D G A D/F#
Jesus forsaken, God estranged from God.
D Bm E/G# A D7 G
Bought by such love, my life is not my own;
D/F# G Em Asus D
My praise, my all, shall be for Christ alone.
[Verse 2]
D Dsus4 G D
His robes for mine: What cause have I for dread?

God's daunting Law, Christ master in my stead.

Faultless I stand with righteous works not mine,
G A7 D
Saved by my Lord's vicarious death and life.
[Chorus]
D Bm E/G# A
I cling to Christ and marvel at the cost;
D G A D/F#
Jesus forsaken, God estranged from God.

Bought by such love, my life is not my own;
D/F# G Em Asus D
My praise, my all, shall be for Christ alone.
[Verse 3]
D Dsus4 G D
His robes for mine: God's justice is appeased.
D G Asus4 A
Jesus is crushed, and thus the Father's pleased.
G A Bm
Christ drank God's wrath on sin, then cried 'tis done!'
G A7 D
Sin's wage is paid; propi - tia - tion won.
[Chorus]

I cling to Christ and marvel at the cost;

Jesus forsaken, God estranged from God.

My praise, my all, shall be for Christ alone.
[Verse 4]
D Dsus4 G D
His robes for mine: such anguish none can know.
D G Asus4 A
Christ, God's beloved, condemned as though His foe.
G A Bm
He, as though I, accursed and left alone;
G A7 D
I, as though He, embraced and welcomed home!
[Chorus]
D Bm E/G# A
I cling to Christ and marvel at the cost;
D G A D/F#
Jesus forsaken, God estranged from God.
D Bm E/G# A D7 G
Bought by such love, my life is not my own;
D/F# G Em Asus D
My praise, my all, shall be for Christ alone.
