Rejoicing in Redemption


"If Thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?  But there is forgiveness with Thee, that Thou mayest be feared… for with the LORD there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous redemption" (Psalm 130:3,4,7).  "The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil" (Proverbs 19:20,23).  "Rejoice, because your names are written in heaven… In that hour Jesus rejoiced in Spirit, and said… Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see" (Luke 10:20-23). 

If God would mark iniquities
And judgment's curse had no exemption,
How great would be our miseries
And hopelessness without redemption! 

But we rejoice, for Jesus died
To pay redemption's price in full.   
The heart of Christ is satisfied
By all He did to save our soul. 

For us the Lamb of God was smitten,
As on the cross, He took our place. 
In heaven now our names are written
With all who have been saved by grace. 

O Lord, we are rejoicing now
In Your redemption that we see
With all the blessings You endow
That You procured at Calvary!
