Rebel With a Hope...

A rebel by inborn nature

A servant by God’s tender grace

Employed by a Master-Savior

Who humbly took our place

As Perfection, Power and Glory

Put on meek flesh and blood

To write redemption’s story

In love’s pure, crimson flood

And now we, rebels by nature

Can be vanquished of our guilt

As mercy weeps on our behalf

In heaven’s Life-blood spilt

He signs our plea for pardon

With holy nail-scarred hand

As once for all, His offering

Fulfills redemption’s plan

Rebels we are by nature

Heirs we are, by grace

Because He sent His beloved Own

To die in our place

Hallelujah, what a Savior.

 Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation—Col. 1:21-22
