A Narrow Escape

From a narrow escape, God grants light For blissful freedom* midst faith brace Against hell’s wrath due to sin-blight Toward eternal life of grace. Secured along compassion’s reign From a narrow escape, God grants light Saving my soul for pardon gain Offered by Christ with peace delight. Witnessing miraculous might My spirit thanks the Saviour’s gift From a narrow escape, God grants light Rescuing me for divine lift. Gripped by deliverance full scope I do await heavenly flight While sharing Gospel that brings hope From a narrow escape, God grants light.
