Redemption

And you, you stole the key to my heart,

Just a small compartment,

Nothing to write home about,

But this nagging sensation leads me to pray,

So I beg and I beg that these thoughts go away.

Oh, redemption is sweet,

Yes His grace is divine,

He gives the promise,

Of a renewed mind,

So I hope and I pray,

That we will see that day.

Yes, I hope and I pray,

That we will see that day.

He lifts me higher and higher,

With his testing fires,

I know we are all lost,

So I keep reaching higher and higher…

Memories threaten to hold me down,

But I keep reaching higher and higher,

Hold my hand through the fire,

I’m holding tighter to a book,

Written forever ago,

Won’t you take a look,

It could help you, you know?

Oh, redemption is sweet,

Yes His grace is divine,

He gives the promise,

Of a renewed mind,

So I hope and I pray,

That we will see that day.

Yes, I hope and I pray,

That we will see that day (2x).

Yes, I hope and I pray,

That through the testing,

You are purified,

Let Him be glorified…
