"If it had not been the LORD who was on our side… Then the waters had overwhelmed us… Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers" (Psalm 124:2-7). "Deliver thyself… as a bird from the hand of the fowler… For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life" (Proverbs 6:5,23). "Ye were not redeemed with corruptible things… but with the precious blood of Christ… being born again… by the Word of God" (1 Peter 1:18-23).
If not for the
Lord on our side,
If not for His life-saving
Word,
We know that our
souls would have died,
But now we've
escaped as a bird!
Our souls have
escaped by decision
To hear and to
heed the Lord's voice.
The light of His
Word gave us vision
And graciously
gave us a choice.
As sinners, we
cannot applaud
Ourselves for
achieving salvation,
For we have been
ransomed by God,
Who purchased
our justification.
O Lord, Your
decision of love
Delivered our
souls which were cursed.
Before judgment came from above,
Before judgment came from above,
Your mercy and
truth met us first!
