HYMN OF THE SAVIOUR

  Lyrics

Verse 1
From the chaos of darkness, your word shaped the earth
In your image a people made
But we traded perfection, the truth for a lie
And your glory was veiled in shame
But a promise made, a blessing you gave
To a people of your name
For this broken world, a saviour foretold
To bear all our grief and pain

Verse 2
When the heavenly saviour descended his throne
All my sin on his shoulders laid
And to win our redemption, he suffered and died
For the sake of my guilt and shame
Oh the price he paid in taking my place
So that death was overcome
When the King of love burst forth from the grave
Proclaiming the victr’y won

Verse 3
At the end of the ages, the world passed away
I will gaze on my saviour’s face
When my heart is perfected, and free from my sin
I will rest in your glorious grace
For the song we raise, the works of our hands
Are in service of the King
When a thousand tongues cry, ’Glory to God’
Forever his praise we’ll sing

  Sample Introduction

The Bible tells us a story from creation to new creation of God’s perfect plan to save his people, and bring us into relationship with him, through his son Jesus. The words of this hymn help us to reflect on the revelation of Christ through God’s word: from creation to the fall, to Jesus’ work on the cross where our sin was paid for, and finally helps us to look on towards the glorious day in the future when we will be with Christ, and forever sing his praise.
