The Redeeming Christ

Who live to sin, are blind and lost
With only self to blame
Who'd be prepared to pay the cost?
To free such souls from shame

As God loves man but hates his sin
And sees our lives on high
There’s seems no way for man to win
We're bound one day to die

Yet Jesus came to take our place
To heal and bear our pain
Redeem for God the human race
And give us birth again

To those God’s Son has reconciled
To souls who seek release
It matters not how much defiled
The Lord will give His peace!

There’s nothing else for us to pay
Through Christ, Salvation’s free
We need only to walk God's Way
To humbly bend our knee

Yet while it’s free, we act so dumb
We sing the devil’s lie
We fail to bid God’s Spirit come
To rot in sin and die

There’s nought we have to lose my friend
We’ve everything to gain
By giving Christ our heart to mend
He’ll take our every pain

How soon the Lord will claim His bride?
How long is yet to wait?
Best waste no time with foolish pride
It could be soon too late
