Song Lyrics 

 
IN MY PLACE
                  ©1997,John A.Poe,Jr.

1
A house is not a home unless there’s trust and  hope found there;
A place where love and laughter live, a place of peace and prayer;
In our home we choose whom we will serve, which Lord we will embrace;
As for me, I want Jesus in my place.
•
(chorus)
In my place, He went to Calvary, where He cried, "Father, forgive;"
In my place, He suffered agony, and He died that I might live;
He washed my soul as white as snow, thanks to His amazing grace,
And He paid for my transgressions, in my place.

Sometimes one of my Christian friends may cause me pain and grief;
Yet I know that anger does no good, and revenge brings no relief;
It is then I need the Master’s strength, and I kneel to seek His face,
Asking, "What would Jesus do in my place?"
•
(chorus)
In my place, He went to Calvary, where He cried, "Father, forgive;"
In my place, He suffered agony, and He died that I might live;
He washed my soul as white as snow, thanks to His amazing grace,
And He paid for my transgressions, in my place.
 •
Oh, He washed my soul, and made me whole,
And I’m thankful for His grace,
For He paid the price of sin, in my place.
Yes, He paid with His own blood, in my place.
