God Himself
Became our pardon
And through His Son’s shed blood
We are forgiven.
‘Tis a mystery
We must all agree
And infinitely too wonderful
For any to see.
Three in one
As in the Divine Trinity:
The Father, Son and Holy Spirit
For you and me.
An infinite cost
To bring us salvation,
God, the sovereign facilitator,
Of our redemption.
In Jesus Christ
Drawing us to Himself
And in the Holy Spirit giving us
Spiritual health.
None good enough
To redeem human kind,
It took the Almighty Creator
To enter time.
Take heed
Therefore, unto yourselves,
And to all the flock
To feed the church of God
Which He hath purchased
With His own blood.
Whose blood?
God’s own blood
For none could pay sin’s price;
Only God could.
God our pardon
In his begotten Son
Gave Himself for His flock:
Every single one.
The church of God
Meaning to all the flock,
Purchased with God’s blood
Every single drop.
‘Tis a mystery
We must all agree
And infinitely too wonderful
For any to see.
But by faith
We believe the testimony
Found in the written Word:
Saved for eternity.
Acts 20:28
Take heed therefore
Unto yourselves,
And to all the flock,
Over which
The Holy Ghost hath made you overseers,
To feed the church of God,
Which he hath purchased
With his own blood.
‘Tis a mystery
We must all agree
But it’s not by the physical eye
Such things we see.
God our pardon
In his begotten Son
Gave Himself for His flock:
Every single one.
