Purchased and Delivered

 

 

Jesus didn’t just die to purchase it

But he lives to deliver it,

That is, the believer’s salvation,

Is God’s eternal edict.

 

This brings us to God’s will

And identifying with the same,

It’s he that does the Father’s will

By believing on Jesus’ name.

 

“Jesus died for our sins”

The same is a solid, biblical truth

But there is more that’s being done,

Let me supply the biblical proof.

 

If Jesus had only died

He would still be interred today,

Hence, he’d be no different from all

That have gone death’s way.

 

By his blood we are saved

Though by his life we are made alive,

And in that he lives, we live in him,

And by his life we shall survive.

 

Purchased and delivered

To every born-again believer,

Of God’s wonderful, glorious salvation,

There are numberless receivers.

 

As of the sands on the seashore

And as numberless as the stars,

God’s kingdom is forever and ever

And none other comes on par.

 

Signed in the Saviour’s blood,

Stamped with the seal of the Holy Spirit,

Now, not a chance of being lost

According to God’s Holy Writ.

 

 

Thus, I serve a risen Saviour,

The evidence is in my heart

Where also lives the Blessed Trinity

Who’s been there from the start.

 

Yes, Jesus purchased my salvation

And he ever lives to deliver it,

And, as its Author and Finisher,

The way he leads is well lit.

 

Jesus didn’t just die to purchase it

But he lives to deliver it,

Such that, in this is my confidence

That he will not allow me to quit.
