Lyrics Death Was Arrested - Aaron Shust

Death Was Arrested

Alone in my sorrow, dead in my sin
Lost without hope with no place to begin
Your love made a way to let mercy come in
That’s when death was arrested, and my life began
Ash was redeemed only beauty remains
My orphan heart, was given a name
My mourning grew quiet, my feet rose to dance
When death was arrested and my life began
Oh Your grace, so free
Washes over me
You have made me new
Now life begins with You
Released from my chains, I’m a prisoner no more
My shame was a ransom, He faithfully bore
He cancelled my debt and He called me His friend!
That’s when death was arrested, and my life began
Oh Your grace, so free
Washes over me
You have made me new
Now life begins with You
It’s Your endless love
Pouring down on us
You have made us new
Now life begins with You
Our Saviour displayed on a criminal’s cross
Darkness rejoiced as though heaven had lost
But then Jesus arose with our freedom in hand
That’s when death was arrested, and my life began, oh!
That’s when death was arrested, and my life began, yeah
Oh Your grace, so free
Washes over me
You have made me new
Now life begins with You
It’s Your endless love
Pouring down on us
You have made us new
Now life begins with You!
With You!
Oh we’re free, free
Forever we’re free
Come join the song
Of all the redeemed
Yes we’re free, free
Forever amen
When death was arrested, and my life began
Oh we’re free, free
Forever we’re free
Come join the song
Of all the redeemed
Yes we’re free, free
Forever amen
When death was arrested, and my life began…
When death was arrested and my life, began
That’s when death was arrested, and my life began!..
