Prophetic Precious Price

"They that trust in their wealth... none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him, for the redemption of their soul is precious.... But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for He shall receive me" (Psalm 49:6-15). "My body... is given for you.... My blood... is shed for you.... For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in Me... for the things concerning Me have an end" (Luke 22:19,20).

Prophetic things concerning Christ
In time must surely have an end.
Though others are by lies enticed,
On Christ alone our souls depend.

For they that put their trust in wealth
Can never purchase their salvation;
They are deceived by Satan's stealth
And by their own imagination.

There is a price God prophesied,
And in this way redemption came:
It was through Christ, who for us died,
That we were ransomed from our shame.

How precious was the price He paid:
He gave Himself to save our soul!
His blood was shed, its value weighed:
Redemption then was paid in full!

By faith, O Lord, we clearly see
What far exceeds our comprehension:
Your love for us at Calvary
Which made You pay for our redemption!
