Rescued and Ransomed


"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… Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth" (Psalm 124:2,4,7,8).  "The ransom of a man's life are his riches… to depart from the snares of death" (Proverbs 13:8,14).  "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me… to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised" (Luke 4:18). 

If not for Christ Jesus our Savior,
There would have been no one to care. 
Condemned by our sinful behavior,
We'd have no escape from its snare. 

But God looked upon us with love
And came to our rescue through Christ. 
Descending from heaven above,
Our Savior was then sacrificed. 

How great was the price then required
To rescue and ransom the lost! 
How greatly our Savior desired
To save us at even this cost! 

Lord, thank You for all You have done
To rescue us, setting us free,   
To ransom our souls, every one,
To cure us, and cause us to see.
