Ransom

There's a God who dwells in heaven
Since the very start of time
He created all that we see
He created all mankind

Men would turn their back on His love
Fall into their prideful ways
God looked down and was disheartened
But His love would never stray

Time and time again they spurned Him
Gave the other gods His praise
But our creator never faltered
From the love He freely gave

Finally sin had taken over
Men would curse the God above
It seemed all was lost and hopeless
Man had turned their back on love

But God still loved the world so deeply
That He sent His only Son
To die and purchase their salvation
Free them from the evil one

So I will lift my voice and praise Him
Loud Hosannas I will sing
Jesus Christ is Lord of heaven
And to me new life He brings

Glory to the Lord of Heaven
Precious Jesus, precious Lamb
Came to give His life a ransom
Came to purchase life for man
