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.")
