Redemption’s Story

In the be­gin­ning of our re­demp­tion

Mercy and love came free­ly to earth;

Angels des­cend­ed

sing­ing the mes­sage

Singing of Je­sus and His birth.

O what a Sav­ior

won­der­ful Sav­ior

Coming to earth to suf­fer for me.

O what a Sav­ior! won­der­ful Sav­ior

Pleading in glo­ry now for thee!

Then in the gar­den

all night in ang­uish

Weeping and pray­ing

pray­ing for all

That He might suf­fer death and the judg­ment

Suffer to save us from the fall.

Then on Mount Cal­v’ry

Je­sus was smit­ten

Smitten to suf­fer

bleed

and to die;

Hear Him re­peat­ing

Fa­ther

fo­rgive them

Father

for­give them! hear Him cry.

Then He was bur­ied

sealed by the Ro­mans

For He had pro­mised that He would rise;

Hark! to the mes­sage: Christ hath aris­en

Risen from death and gone on high.

Jesus is com­ing

tell the glad sto­ry;

Jesus is com­ing down from the sky;

We shall be­hold Him com­ing in glo­ry;

Jesus is com­ing by and by.
