Jesus died and rose again to pay the cost.
What I gained is better than what I lost.
From the empty cross and empty grave.
His pierced hands and the life he gave.
The ultimate sacrifice that set me free.
My old self is gone and theirs a new me.
Before I was dead, dead in my sin.
But here and now, I'm born again.
That's why I sing and worship him today.
That's why I shout and praise him every day.
That's why I proclaim him King of Kings.
He's my life, love and hope in everything
If we desire anything that leads us to sin.
You can be sure, more problems we run in.
We can't save ourselves, there's no place to hide.
We have a choice to make, it's time to decide.
When we choose Jesus, we will be saved.
Anyone who repented, God always forgave.
The bible is the truth, we can be assured.
We're in danger, if we ignore God's word.
When all seems lost, evil gets their way.
One thing is clear, God has the final say.
There's a bible verse, you need to know.
God is with us, no matter where we go.
I'm surrounded by enemies and I always worry.
I dwell on the past and I'm always in a hurry.
I am a wretched sinner and a lost sheep.
But in my heart, the words of God I keep.
I focus not on the problem, nor what I see.
But the very words, that God promised me.
"Do not fear for I have redeemed you."
"I love you with an everlasting love too."
When my car broke down, and my friend died.
It's hard to give thanks, even though I tried.
My sins are revealed and it's hard to cope.
But in my heart, I know Jesus is my hope.
I focus not on the problem, nor what I see.
But the very words, that God promised me.
"Do not fear for I have redeemed you."
"I love you with an everlasting love too."
You must be born again, a bible verse I know.
So the first thing I do, my old self has to go.
Then I ask my Savior, to create a new heart.
Forgive me for my sins and I'll do my part.
Since I have only today, this is important to me.
I'll put God first, before I do anything.
I focus on the Lord, I spend my time to pray.
I'll read my bible, I let my Savior lead the way.
I wait for the moment, when Jesus will come again.
I'll finally see my Savior and forever he will reign.
I don't know the hour, I don't know which day.
He will surely come, so I'll be watchful and pray.
