We stand as a witness to His salvation
And can testify among any congregation
Yes! Christ delivered us.
Of the power of His love and redemption.
Born in sin, shaped in iniquity,
Bound in the chains of sexual immorality
Sinking deep going to a lost eternity,
But Christ delivered us.
We may have suffered low self-esteem,
impoverished, rejected, marginalised
And victimised, a black sheep of our families
Crying out to God – “Please help me!”
And Christ delivered us (Isaiah 53:5).
The Christ Child was born to the virgin Mary
God sent Him as a Deliverer for you and me
Christ was ridiculed, spat upon, and whipped for all to see
Yet He bore our pain, shame and sin,
When He was nailed to the tree (Isaiah 7:14).
Let us commemorate and celebrate Jesus and remember whose we are
We have been saved and sanctified by the Bright and Morning Star
He is Christ our Deliverer.
