Haunted by grievous guilt vexing my mind
I yearned for pardon divinely sublime
with sweet assurance of quietude chime
to end torture angst … in God could I find.
Reaching forth to me, Christ offered His love
Of eternal redemption His blood paid
Sacrificially His body He laid
To ransom me, leaving great throne above.
Trusting Him, my Redeemer so precious
My soul received peace with eternal bliss
Acquitting me from hell’s wrathful abyss
With His mercy, bountifully gracious.
Enclosed around my Saviour’s fellowship
Serene freedom* of joy grips me indeed
Grateful, never minding time to exceed
I would exalt Him in earnest worship.
Within my Lord’s security delight
I’m well-cared midst His contentment fullness
To share blessings with servant-heart’s goodness
Glowing while guided by Gospel truth light.
*John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
