redeemed (the poem)
Oct 30th, 2007 by Nathanael
Just when it seemed
All hope was lost,
I was ransomed, redeemed,
At so high a cost.
The Lamb who was slain,
Who died in my place,
Was denounced and defamed,
Despised and disgraced.
He was nailed naked
To Golgotha’s cross,
Dying, forsaken,
For souls sick and lost.
He silently bore
The price for my sin,
So long before
I ever sought Him.
He shatters my schemes,
He restores and recovers,
He revives and redeems
So I can reach others.
