Riches of our Ransom

"The ransom of a man's life are his riches" (Proverbs 13:8). "The Son of Man came not to be ministered unto but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many" (Mark 10:45).

How vast beyond imagination
Are these riches we have gained
Within this ransom of salvation
That by faith we have obtained!

Free to us, but oh the cost
Was great indeed that Jesus paid!
The awful debt of all the lost
Upon our Savior then was laid!

From rags to riches! What a story
All the ransomed have to tell!
To God our Savior be the glory
Who redeemed our souls from hell!

Lord, receive our worship now
We bring to You in grateful trust
For all these riches You endow
And for the ransom paid for us.
