Power to redeem

You take what is
And make it beautiful
When love floods in
We're restored forevermore
With breath that brings the dead to life
With words that pierce the dark with light
Only by the blood are we set free
With mercy strong to carry shame and nail it to a tree
You alone hold the power to redeem
No guilt competes
With innocence crucified
No grave can hold
What Your grace has justified
Rejoice, o child of God
Lift your eyes to see
With every morning light
Again we are redeemed.
