God Reached Down To Me
In my wretchedness, so miserable
God compassionately reached down to me;
Offered me His precious love, valuable…
He paid by His blood* of sacrifice-fee.
From heaven, He came to give me freedom
To unshackle me from sins’ bondage-chain;
Against eternal pangs of hell’s kingdom…
He ransomed my soul while guilt had me slain.
Thru His forgiveness-might, He sought me out
Ushering me from unbelief’s prison;
By His Word that conquers fear, woe and doubt…
He secures my spirit by His person.
Thus, I can approach Him with faith’s fervor
While living for His glory and honor.
*Romans 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God.
