Words by Chris Anderson | Music by Greg Habegger

His Robes for Mine is a Christ-centered hymn that reflects on the gospel message of Christ’s substitutionary atonement and the believer’s justification. The hymn presents the profound biblical picture of the “great exchange”—Christ bearing our sin while believers are clothed in His righteousness.

With its reverent melody and doctrinally rich text, this hymn is well suited for church worship services, congregational singing, personal devotion, and piano or instrumental accompaniment.
