Verse 2:
Behold the Man upon a cross

Ashamed I hear my mocking voice

Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished
Verse 3:
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no powers, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ

Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
