Life for a Look

Verse 1

There is life for a look at the crucified one, There is life at this moment for thee; Then look, sinner, look unto him and be saved, Unto him who was nailed to the tree.

Chorus

Look, look, look and live; There is life for a look at the crucified one, There is life at this moment for thee.

Verse 2

O why was he there as the bearer of sin, If on Jesus thy sins were not laid? O why from his side flowed the sin-cleansing blood, If his dying thy debt had not paid?

Verse 3

It is not thy tears of repentance or prayers, But the blood that atones for the soul; On him then who shed it thou mayest at once Thy weight of iniquities roll.

Verse 4

Then take with rejoicing from Jesus at once The life everlasting he gives; And know, with assurance, thou need’st never die Since Jesus, thy righteousness, lives.
