Redeemer
We all have a feeling
It comes and it goes
It comes from concealing
What's out of control
When senses are reeling
We run to and fro
And end up revealing
The things we want no one to know
But there is a reason
There is a way
To stop this confusion
This running away
Although we are debtors
Unable to pay
We have a redeemer
And he came to take sin away
His name is Jesus
He came to save us
From ourselves
Though we like sheep
Have gone astray
All of our sin
He washed away
And like the snow
He covers everything
We want no one to know
The darkness is fading
Fading away
Our hearts have awakened
To worship and pray
Although we are debtors
Unable to pay
We have a redeemer
And he came to show us the way
His name is Jesus
He came to save us
From ourselves
Though we like sheep
Have gone astray
All of our sin
He washed away
And like the snow
He covers everything
We want no one to know
[Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. Isaiah 1:18]
