Redeemer

Born in Adam's sin, same as all mankind,
I was lost and unaware of my plight.
My wayward heart was desperately blind,
Then You came into my darkest night,
And showered me with Your holy light.

My Redeemer, You found me in my despair,
From brokenness You healed and set me free.
You lavished me with love and showed you care,
By purchasing my freedom on Calvary.
You shed your blood to pay sin's price for me.

There is no way I could ever repay,
The price You paid to save my very soul.
All you ask is for me to follow Your way.
To share Your love and walk by faith my goal,
My Redeemer can truly make you whole.

Such an inspiration Kim. I love the last line, "My Redeemer can truly make you whole." True, no matter what past we have lived. Thanks for sharing this my friend.
