What a Compassionate Saviour

WHAT A COMPASSIONATE SAVIOUR What a compassionate saviour! Who loves us great beyond measure… Our iniquities like filthy rags he wore All our sins on His shoulders He bore For our sake, his life he laid All our debts with His blood He paid Even when we were lost He had redeemed us by paying the Calvary cost... He took our sinful form and left his throne above To pay a cost triggered by the truest and purest of love Because of His love We all live as if our evil days Never came our ways Because of His love Our sins though red as scarlet We're washed to be whiter than snow tablet Because of His love Our flesh and all worldly lust Surrender to holy living, which we must Because of His love Wings like eagles to us who wait And all crooked roads are made straight Because of His love He may not come early, He always answers Neither comes too late to make us joyful dancers Because of His love We're fearless of him who steals, kills and destroys Like a defended city, we all rejoice Because of His love For His flesh and blood, we wine and dine From all races, we arise and shine What a compassionate saviour! Who loves us great beyond measure… Once blind: He makes us see Bound: He sets us free Lame: He makes us walk Dumb: He gives us voice to talk Sick: He gives us healing Sorrowful: He sets us rejoicing Barren: He makes us fruitful Outcast: He makes us useful Rejected: in Him we’re accepted He paid all; we’re no more indebted Poor: He makes us rich Hungered: we’re fed with bread and fish Weak: He makes us strong And gave us a new tongue He sends the comforter And makes us conquerors forever What a compassionate saviour! Who loves us great beyond measure…
