power to redeem

you take what is

and you make it beautiful

when love floods in

we're restored forever more

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. 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. rejoice oh child of god

lift your eyes to see

with every morning light

again we are redeemed

with breath it 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. oh you alone

hold the power to redeem
