Bought with the Precious Blood of Christ

There in the ground His body lay,
Light of the world by darkness slain.
Then bursting forth in glorious day,
Up from the grave He rose again.

And as He stand in VICTORY,
sin's curse has lost it's grip on me!
For I am His and He is mine,
bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in Life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me.
From life's first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.

No power of hell, no scheme of man,
could ever pluck me from His hand,
'Til He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I stand


These lyrics speak to me the most about being redeemed. To be redeemed means to be bought back or to be recovered. I'll only ever want to buy back or recover something if I really think it's worth the investment or if I desire it. Through His grace, God calls us worthy and beloved. He says we are worth the investment of His one and only Son. Through His death and resurrection, and in our new found redemption, as Romans 8 said, we are no longer obligated to act in our sinful nature- no guilt in life, no fear in death. THIS IS THE POWER OF CHRIST IN US!
It's everlasting, always faithful and strong!

I will stand, I will stand.
All other ground is sinking sand.
All other ground, all other ground,
is sinking sand, is sinking sand.
So I stand!
