And Can It Be -Psalm 107: 13-16

The love of God so utterly amazing it astounds the mind to think upon how is it possible that God of very God should die, yes die indeed it's no con This God put all my sin on His Son to pay the perfect sacrifice for my salvation what amazing perfect love can one believe this is my God who planned my redemption So long my inward spirit lay in chains dark by my sin covered by nature's night there seemed no way of gaining escape my heart blackened left to humanities plight Within feeling a quickening unknown eyes came upon me like never before inside my jail cell, all was light blazing aglow it opened my door Then I knew I had been loosed from the chains of sin that bound me arose did I went forth following on Jesus died indeed for me! and can it be? (This is based on an excerpt from the hymn 'And can it be?' by Charles Wesley. Psalm 107: 13-16(ESV) "Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and burst their bonds apart. Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! For he shatters the doors of bronze and cuts in two the bars of iron.")
