Escaping Evil

"Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father" (Galatians 1:3,4).

Grace be to you with the wonderful peace
That was wrought by our Jesus Lord Jesus Christ.
From this evil world our escape and release,
Was bought by His self sacrifice.

We were trapped in a world without hope or grace
Consigned to this evil condition.
We were headed for wrath with the whole human race
Destined for endless perdition.

But God in His love had a redemption plan—
Though costly, He paid it in full—
By sending His Son in the form of a Man
To rescue and ransom our soul!
