A song

Jesus, Savior, King Eternal
rescued us in our transgression,
bleeding heart and bleeding hands,
have lifted us to where we stand;
boldly on the promise of God,

Our hope is fixed,
Our hope is sure,
through Jesus Christ we will endure,

Purified, we've been made righteous,
Our soul no longer seeks for treasure,
Our cornerstone who lives inside us,
fills our souls beyond all measure,

We spend our days now under the Sun,
eagerly awaiting your return,
when all that is wrong will be made right,
when joy abounds in your kingdom's light,

We pray, we seek, to know you now,
Your love, your peace, your mercy and strength,
Blessed to stand, we humbly bow,

You've chosen us who sought you not,
who loved ourselves beyond all else,
our wicked hearts would not receive you,
our blinded eyes would not believe you,

Against our wills, and for our joy,
Your spirit came and brought us life,
Your love so sovereign, deep, and free,
has made us yours eternally.
(We love you Jesus)
