He Paid the Price

Folder: 
Divine Revelation

Oh dear God!



How far we've fallen

too busy to hear you callin'  

we're just stallin'  

thinking death will wait for us  

but the world's in chaos  

and the line starts here

the end is near



It's so contagious  

this disease

that claims us

We're praying we can please

the One who made us

but you can't earn salvation.



He bought us since

before He laid the foundation

although He knew we'd

fall for temptation,

we've no compensation  

for the gift that saves us.  



His blood paid the price.

All of our vices

are no match  

for His love suffices.

His plan for us is precise.



No more are we outcasts.

Our old selves are passed.

His mercy is vast.

His grace lasts and lasts.

His love unsurpassed.  



Oh dear God!  



How good You are!

Rewrite 2012

How far we've fallen
too busy to hear you callin'
we're just stallin'
thinking death will wait for us
but the world's in chaos.

And the line starts here~
the end is near.

It's so contagious,
this disease
that claims us.
We're praying we can please
the One who made us
but you can't earn salvation.

He bought us since
before He laid the foundation
although He knew we'd
fall for temptation.
We've no compensation
for the gift that saves us.

His blood paid the price.
All of our vices
are no match
for His love suffices.
His plan for us is precise.

No more are we outcasts.
Our old selves are passed.
His mercy is vast;
His grace lasts and lasts~
His love unsurpassed.

Oh dear God!
How good You are!
