Once I was dead to You and I could not hear I was blind to the truth and was nowhere near But then You gave me life and You gripped my soul With a love so pure and You won't let go What a Savior, my redeemer, You have freed me Helped me understand Through Your suffering, I'm forgiven Pressing onward to The Promised Land Sent from His Father above, Jesus walked this earth Knew His destiny as He read the word Not shrinking back from the task He pursued His goal Came to ransom lives and to make them whole Now with the Spirit's help I can journey on Knowing peace with God, my conviction's strong Because of Jesus' blood I am now secure And because He lives my hope is sure You've bought me with a price, a perfect sacrifice Now all I have I give to You My life no longer mine, to live or die is Christ Bound now for Heaven His name is Jesus, risen Savior, He's our healer Death could not withstand His name is Jesus, sent from Heaven To take us homeward to The Promised Land
