The Ransom

This song simply presents the gospel of Jesus Christ – He paid the ransom with his blood so that we could go free from both the ultimate penalty of sin, eternity in hell without God, and from bondage to and the control of sin over our daily lives. In the process, he, through his resurrection, also set us free to live in victory and to walk faithfully in obedience to our Lord Jesus Christ. 

“And he said to all, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself? For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.’” (Luke 9:23-26 ESV)

“For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.” (Titus 2:11-14 ESV)

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’” (Matthew 7:21-23 ESV)

The Ransom 

An Original Work / September 8, 2011

Jesus paid the ransom, 

so we’d be forgiven;

Purified from our sin, 

so we’d be set free.

Crucified on a tree; 

took on him our sin. 

Buried our sin with Him; 

rose in victory.

Jesus calls us to Him; 

asks that we flee from sin;

Obey His commandments; 

live eternally.

God our Father loves us, 

which is why He gave us

His Son to die for us 

on a cruel tree.

God created us to 

walk in fellowship with Him, 

daily trusting in His righteousness.

He has a plan for us 

to abide in His grace;

Be transformed in our hearts; 

live for him always.

Won’t you trust in Jesus? 

Be your Lord and Master?

He wants to forgive you, 

give you victory.

Over sin and yourself, 

Jesus set you free.

Daily walking with Him, 

live victoriously.

Invite Him in your heart. 

He’ll give you a new start.

Your old life behind you, 

a new creature be.
