Kevin all with us. I'm sorry. I Can't hear Sharon Sharon, I'm
sorry Sharon, excuse me From Madisonville, Kentucky. We're
David Edmondson pastors. So they're here in Central Florida
bit on vacation and and We're happy they're with us Norm Wells
you all know from Sunday is a prepared to bring a message tonight. And
so we're very thankful that, uh, Norm's, uh, here to do that. And, uh, Rachel's Rachel is Jennifer's
sister, Norm's daughter, who is in labor as we speak, um,
in Portland, Oregon. So, uh, Norm's anxious to get
home for that grandbaby's birth, uh, in the morning. So, uh, Norm,
we're glad you're here and safe travels home brother. Pray everything
goes well with Rachel and the baby. Tricia talked to Wynna
this week and she sends her love. They had about an hour conversation,
I think, and she's doing well. She's trying to sell things off
and get things settled in Mexico so she can move to Houston. All right, let's stand together. Tom's gonna come and lead us
in number 32 in the What are we calling this book?
Hymns of Grace. Gospel Hymns. Okay. Number 32. All children of wrath, in bondage
and sin, we helplessly lay, condemned and unclean. God's law in its
infinite justice and wrath demanded we suffer an eternal death. But long before time had ever
begun, One stood in our place, God's glorious Son. He offered Himself to go live
among men, And gave His own life to atone for our sin. The great substitute, behold,
he has come. The price has been paid, the
work is all done. Christ took on himself the great
load of our sin. He poured out his blood and he
put away sin. God's justice and wrath are now
satisfied, and all who believe have been justified. Through faith in the blood of
the Lamb, we are free from sin's condemnation, eternally free. Please be seated. Will you open your Bibles with
me to Isaiah 42. I'm preparing to preach from
this passage on Sunday and Norm waiting five minutes before the
service to get here. I was in the study looking over
my notes for Sunday thinking I may have to bring that message
to you tonight. This is such a glorious passage
of scripture. Behold my servant. Look to Christ. Whom I uphold. Mine elect. My chosen one. In whom my soul
delighteth. God, the father speaking about
his son. I have put my spirit upon him. He's the anointed one. He's the Christ, the Messiah. To do what? To bring forth judgment
to the dogs. Are you a dog? That's what he
came to do. Justify you before God. He shall not cry, nor lift up. nor cause his voice to be heard
in the street. He doesn't have to use manipulative
tactics. He doesn't have to get excited.
He just always gets his way. A bruised reed shall he not break,
and the smoking flack shall he not quench. He shall bring forth
judgment unto truth. He shall not fail. nor be discouraged
till he has said judgment in the earth and the aisles the
faraway places that's us or the aisles shall wait for his law
let's pray together our heavenly father we're so very thankful
for the revelation that you have given us of your dear son the exalting words that you have
spoke of him. We ask now that your Holy Spirit
would give faith to our hearts and cause us to set our affections
on Christ. Lord, that we would believe all
the testimony that you have made about him and that we would find
him to be our all in all, that we would find our comfort, our
hope, our salvation, and all our happiness in Christ. Father, we pray that the message
would be preached with liberty and with clarity, with power. We pray, Lord, that our hearts
would be open, our ears would be attuned to your voice. Lord,
that you would speak to our hearts. And we do pray for Rachel. We
ask, Lord, that you would be merciful to her and that you
would cause this baby to be born healthy and Lord, that you would
be with those that are ministering physically to her. And we pray
that you would draw near to her heart and make yourself known
to her in this time of great pain and great rejoicing. Pray for Norm to have safe travels
home tomorrow. We ask it in Christ's name. Amen. 69. This song probably is traditionally
just sung on Sundays. In fact, the hymn two numbers
called Sabbath, but I like this hymn. Every time we get together
we rest in the Lord. He's done all the work. He is
our Sabbath. Number 69. Safely through another
week. Safely through another week,
God has brought us on our way. Let us now a blessing seek, waiting
in his courts today. Day of all, the week the best,
emblem of eternal rest. Day of all, the week the best,
emblem of eternal rest. While we pray for pardoning grace,
through the dear Redeemer's name, show Thy reconciled face, take
away our sin and shame. From our worldly care set free,
may we rest this day in Thee. From our worldly care set free,
may we rest this day in Thee. Here we come, thy name to praise. Let us feel thy presence near. May thy glory meet our eyes while
we in thy house appear. Here afford us, Lord, a taste
of our everlasting feast. Here afford us, Lord, a taste
of our everlasting feast. May thy gospels' joyful sound
Conquer sinners' comfort saints. May the fruits of grace abound
Bring relief for all complaints. Thus may all our Sabbaths prove
till we join the church above. Thus may all our Sabbaths prove
till we join the church above. Please be seated. Norm. Good evening. It's a joy to be
with you tonight. I appreciate remembering my daughter
in prayer. Thank you. She's about a month early. And they give names to situations
that people get into, the doctors do, that I don't understand.
So when I heard she had it, I just cried. But it's not quite as
serious as I first had thought. And she'll deliver the baby,
Lord willing, healthy, and she'll be healthy, and I'll go home
and be third granddad. Join me tonight, if you would,
in the book of Leviticus. The book of Leviticus. It has
been my privilege and my blessing, like your pastor, to go through
books of the Bible. Brother Henry Mahan shared with
me many years ago And it fit me. God's people want to know
what the Bible's about. That's what we want to know.
And as we go through it, we find out that the Bible shares with
us the many facets of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. And as
I've been going through the book of Leviticus, as other Old Testament
books, I'm reminded of what the Lord Jesus Christ said when he
was instructing. He said, Moses spoke of me. The
two on the road to Emmaus, he met with them and his own disciples.
He shared all the things in the Old Testament concerning himself.
And I may have shared this in the past that when I read that
one time in a Bible study, I was kind of disheartened that I was
not privileged to be there and hear that. I wanted to hear that
message. And that night, I woke up in
the middle of the night and it struck me, I says, we have that
message. It is the Old Testament. And so I like to go there because
that's what Jesus Christ spoke from. That's what the Apostle
Paul spoke from. And if the Ethiopian eunuch had
been reading the book of Leviticus, Philip would have began at the
same place and preached unto him Jesus, just like he did with
the book of Isaiah. In the first seven chapters of
the book of Leviticus, and when I started this, I was a little
bit concerned because I had had a lot of problems in just reading
the book of Leviticus. I don't know about you, but I
would skip chapters sometimes when I was just reading through
it because I said, whoa, what is this? What is this? And it
would concern me, but I'd still skip it because I It was just
not right time for me, I guess. And then I liked to read through
books of the Bible, and I'd do it again, and I'd say, man, I'm
doing the same thing over. And somewhere along the line,
in the last year, I read something that the book of Leviticus was
written to sinners. And I don't even know who I was
reading. But when I read that, I said, if it's written to sinners,
I want to find out what it's about, because that's who I am.
I am a sinner, saved by grace. I'm a sinner, saved by grace.
And this book is written to sinners. So I went there, and I also found
out that the book of Leviticus, there's more of the actual word
of God recorded, just word given to Moses as the go-between, as
the ambassador for the Lord Jesus, for God Almighty. There's more
of that in the book of Leviticus than any of the other books.
So, it gave me two reasons to go there, and it's been a real
blessing. I've been here about a year now, and we're in chapter
4. And the first chapter of this book has to do with the burnt
offering. And the burnt offering is a picture
of the Lord Jesus Christ being our redemption, our justification,
our complete and total atonement. And when that took place, it
took place for Israel. It is so, I appreciate the message,
I'll back up just a moment, the message on Sunday, I've appreciated
both of them, but that second one from Isaiah, Religion is
so convoluted. Religion is so... it's not even
logical when you think about it. And the Word of God is so
logical, and Christianity is so logical, and when we look
here, when the atonement was made, it was Israel that was
the recipient for it. None of the other nations were
there. They were not participating. So if I'd have had just a little
smarts about me, I'd have realized there is a limited atonement
even in my religion. Can't go there. Can't go there
until it's revealed. The first chapter of the book
of Leviticus is the burnt offering and it really declares the totality
of the atonement that Jesus Christ gives to his people, the full
satisfaction that God met with God, Christ met with the Father
in making peace. the atonement, brought us at
one with God, just as if we'd never sinned. Now chapters, the
next four offerings share with us the benefits of that atonement. They are too for the church.
The atonement is for the church and everything else here is for
the church. It's for sinners. And in the second chapter we
have the benefits of the atonement. We have the meal offering and
it's one of the few offerings that are made in the Old Testament
that had to do without blood. And it was a meal offering, it
was a grain offering, it was a very fine flour offering, and
it is our flour. If it's our flour, it will have
chaff in it. If our righteousness is Christ,
there is no chaff. But if we bring our own, there
is always going to be chaff with it. There's always going to be
incompleteness, and there will be those things that will draw
us aside and say, look what we've done. But this offering shares
with us that it is the perfect righteousness of Christ that
we depend on and not our own. And that word righteousness has
to do with weighing or measuring. And if our righteousness does
not measure up to God, We don't have his righteousness. He's
the measuring stick. And we don't measure up. So if
we go on our own righteousness, we don't have the proper measurement.
And I might be six, I used to be about six foot four. I'm kind
of, gravity's taking over, you know? But if the qualification
for doing something was to be six foot five, I didn't measure
up. So I wouldn't qualify. Well,
our righteousness does not qualify. Only Christ's righteousness does.
He has the right measurement. perfect Son of God Chapter 3
another benefit is the peace offering it has to do with Christ
our peace and in this chapter, it's a sin offering and it particularly
Shares with me Christ our sin bearer after the new birth, you
know, I need to know that And I thought Brother Greg was just
going to go on and preach my message on Sunday. And it used
to really bother me when I was in religion and I'd go to a conference
and another preacher would preach my message. I'd have to go, oh
boy, I got to get another one now. You know, if they don't
preach the same message, something's wrong. Someone is wrong or both
of us are wrong. It has to be the same message.
The message is Christ And so if I ever had a conference in
the Dow's and had several preachers and I said I want to assign one
verse of scripture to every one of you Let's see what happens
it all be Christ, but it would be looking at Christ from different
points of view and we'd all be blessed Whatever verse so in
this chapter is the sin offering and it has to do with what? happens After we're born again and we
find ourselves as sinners, I want to know, I want to know what
happens after I'm saved, after God gives me the new birth in
Christ Jesus, what happens? Because we go through the rest
of our life with this flesh that sins every day. What happens? This chapter shares with us the
benefits of the complete atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ. And
in this chapter, in chapter four, verse one, it says, the Lord
spake unto Moses. And if you look so often in the
book of Leviticus, it is this word for word that God spoke
to Moses to share with the people. God never spoke to the people
Individually, He always spoke through Moses, and the same is
true with us. We're never going to hear God
speaking to us except through the Lord Jesus Christ. We have
peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. So don't go expecting
some message from something other than the Lord Jesus Christ. That's
the only funnel where all the blessings come from, and it is
the only funnel where we ever get Access to the father there
is only this one place and that is the Lord Jesus Christ It's
a person speak unto the children of Israel saying in verse 2 if
a soul shall sin through ignorance You know that just slapped me
in the face. I found out right there that the fall I knew it
was bad But the fall is a whole lot worse than I thought You
sin through ignorance My goodness, how many times did I do that
today? Sin through ignorance. Didn't even know I was doing
it. And yet, it was ungracious and unholy to a thrice holy God. Sin through ignorance. This whole
offering was to people, sinners. And in fact, all of the offerings
that were brought in these first seven chapters, not one of them
was ever to anybody but a sinner. And they're few and far between. Sinners are few and far between.
I love what Robert Hart, John Hart, said in his hymn, a sinner
is a sacred thing. The Lord has made him thus. Because
by nature, we all will admit we've done something wrong, and
most of the time we admit it because we got caught. If we hadn't got caught, there
would be no reason to admit it. But since we got caught, yeah,
okay, all right. But once God saves you, we begin
to learn a little bit about the total depravity of man. And then
run into a passage of scripture like this that says this offering
is for those who sin in ignorance, those who sin and don't even
know it was a sin. Yet we all do it and what's gonna
happen. What is God gonna do when we
do that? Well as we follow this through
there are four groups of people in this chapter that this offering
is made to it's made to the anointed priest in verse 3 the whole congregation
in verse 13 for rulers and for common people and there is no
Exemption. Nobody can come along say I'm
the king and or I'm a common person, or I'm a priest, I'm
a preacher, I'm better off. That, I have found out, that
it's the preacher. Todd Nyberg taught me one time,
he said, if you ever run into anybody with one of those fishes
on your cards, watch your wallet. Watch your wallet. Those are
the guys you gotta watch. You know, we just don't know,
in our own self, our own depravity, And we need someone to cover
it all. Incompleteness. And that's what
this is sharing with us. No one exempt. This is a sacrifice. This is not a sacrifice for the
unconverted. It is a sacrifice only sinners
will bring. Only sinners will admit this.
Only the church will admit that they have a problem. Only the
church will admit that they have a sin problem. It is a sin problem
that we inherited, but it is also a sin problem that we do
every day. We are sinners by nature, and
we're sinners by practice, and we're sinners by choice, and
we're sinners by ignorance, as this passage brings out. These
other offerings there in this list were also for sinners, and
they brought this different critters. for different sacrifices in this
sacrifice alone. Some brought this animal and
some brought that animal, but every one of them put their hand
on the head of that animal, and they're sharing in picture, I'm
trusting Christ for all my sins. Take care of all. And then they
killed the animal, which pictures Christ must die for us. And then they took some of the
blood of this animal and they applied it on the horns. And
when I first read that, I thought it was the horns of the brazen
altar. Well, it is half and half in this chapter. Some of the
blood of some of the individuals went inside of the holy place
where the altar of the burnt incense was, and it also had
horns on it, and they applied some of the blood there. Did
you know that our prayers are so filled with ignorant sin that
we can't even pray except to the blood of Christ? That's what
it's telling us. The most easy thing we think
we can do is to pray, and yet we can't pray, and we don't know
how to pray as we ought to pray, and the prayers that we do offer,
if it wasn't for the blood of Christ, they would be sin in
the face of Almighty God. It's telling us in here, it is
the covenant of grace that is between the Father and the Son
and the Holy Spirit that has determined and decreed that the
sins and all the sins of all the sinners that Jesus Christ
chose to die for will be taken care of. All sin. I used to hear past, present,
and future sins. It's just sin every day. The
Lord Jesus Christ either took care of every sin while he was
on the cross, or we'll take care of it ourselves, and it's a debt
we cannot pay. He either took care of it all,
or he didn't take care of any of it. And that's a debt we cannot
pay. While we were yet sinners, Christ
died for us, so God had this all laid out ahead of time. Now tomorrow, I plan to get on
an airplane and go back to Oregon. That's my plan. Now, I've never
met anybody that's going to fly anywhere or take a bus anywhere
or take a taxi that, first of all, didn't find out where that
plane, that bus, or that taxi was going to go. So I'm going
on a predestined flight. And I don't want to get on a
plane that doesn't have a predestination. You don't know where we're going?
I'm not getting on here. And then we fuss about predestination
by God. Before the world began, he predestined
that his son would totally take care of the sins of all his people. And while we were yet sinners,
He died for us. It was already determined that
He would die for sinners. And then it says, Jesus said,
I am the way, the truth and the life, and I am the only way for
sinners to come to the Father. I am the only way. Now, I don't
understand how Christ did all of this. I've read people that
have got it figured out, and then when you read it, you find
out they don't know what they're talking about. I don't understand
how Jesus Christ on the cross was able to take all my sin and
deal with it in such a fashion that when it was completed and
His atonement was completely made, no sin could be charged
against me. And yet, I'll ask you to explain
the Trinity. Explain the Trinity. Explain
the virgin birth. Explain creation. Explain conception. And then we can explain that
Jesus was sent to save sinners from their sins. It was laid
on Christ, their substitute, and He is the substitute for
every sinner that ever believes or ever will believe. And He
did it in such a way that it was so complete that everybody
that He died for can hear God Almighty say, Welcome, thou good
and faithful servant. There will be no charge held
against them. It is written in the book of
Isaiah that they sought after the sin of Israel and could not
find it. Now, you explain that. There is no way to explain it. There is only one thing to do
and that's believe it. And that is one thing I found
that the church will do. They will say, I do believe it. And we will also say, I don't
understand it. But I've had a number of people,
close friends of mine and family say, I don't believe it. And
that means they're unbelievers. And that means they don't know
a thing about salvation to begin with. I don't understand how the Lord
Jesus could become sin for me in such a capacity that He would
take care of it completely. But His blood was sufficient.
His blood was sufficient. Turn with me, if you would, to
the book of Isaiah chapter 61. In Isaiah chapter 61, there are
talks, shares with us, the prophet Isaiah shares with us a passage
of Scripture that the Lord Jesus Christ quoted during his ministry. Now, I'm very thankful I have
a book that's bound like this. We're so used to this. But in
the day of the Ethiopian eunuch, or Paul, or the Lord Jesus, what
they had was written on scrolls. And it tells us that the Lord
rolled that scroll until he found this passage in the book of Isaiah.
Now, he knew exactly where he was looking for. And he read
this passage of scripture. Isaiah chapter 61 is the passage
he quoted, and it says, of the opening of prison to them
that are bound. Wow, what a declaration of the
gospel and to its effectiveness and its effectualness and its
completeness and what it does for every believer, every one
of God's people. And then in verse two, to proclaim
the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our
God, to comfort all that mourn. Now there's something in that
passage of Scripture that shares with us that a day was to come,
a day has come. It is in the past when punishment
for all the sins was demanded and God's sword of vengeance
was unsheathed while His Son was on the cross. all the sins
of all his people, which infinite wisdom was able to gather together,
even the sins of our ignorance. It took an almighty God, an all-powerful
God, an all-sovereign God, an all-able God, an all-complete
God that was able to take and gather together from all the
four winds from every nation because that's what we find that
God's people are going to be gathered from out of every nation
kindred people and tongue that God would gather the sins of
all his people and place them in some miraculous way upon his
son so that he could pay for them the sins of ignorance now
we know about the other sins some of them we plan to do Some
of them we didn't know we were doing, but we did them, and they
pointed out to us. But the sins of ignorance were
also gathered together that day. On that day of vengeance, though
all the heart sins and the lip sins and the sins of ignorance
did God gather together on that day and in some way place them
on his son. In fact, the scripture share
with us, our sins were laid on him. He became sin for us. And I'll
be the first one to admit, I cannot get my head around all of that. But I know this, the outcome.
Not one sin will be held chargeable against any of His elect. I know that. How He did it, in
the manner He did it, I know what the scripture says and still
I have trouble understanding it, but I for one have been given
the grace to believe it. That it was so complete and so
complete, so filled, so full, so able, so great, so mighty,
so powerful that it could all be put on Him in such a way that
as we read in the book of Hebrews, He could put away sin. Put it away. Book of Hebrews,
twice quote from the book of Jeremiah, I will forgive their
iniquity and I will remember their sin no more. It's quoted
twice in the book of Hebrews, their sins I'll remember no more.
Can you explain to me how God can forget anything? And yet it is done in such a
way that he will never bring it up again. My dad and I used
to have trouble because he was historical. He always kept bringing
up the past. He just couldn't leave it alone,
you know? You do something stupid, two years later, you remember
when you did that? Yes, I do. That's one thing about
my Heavenly Father, He'll never do. Once He has laid it on His
Son, It shall never be brought up again. The transgressions
forgiven and whose our sins are covered. They're covered in such
a way as we read here now. In the few moments I have left,
what happens to God's people today in our everyday life when
we commit those sins of ignorance or those sins of commission or
those sins of omission? What happens? God is not and cannot be angry
with the person for whom Jesus Christ was substituted for. That person has no sin for God
to be angry with. Now, I read that, I said, I'm
so happy. It doesn't keep me from sinning,
and I sin more than I want to, I can tell you that. I don't
have to plan for it, and yet sometimes, even in my life, I
do. But I know that when the end
shall come, that if Jesus Christ went to the cross for Norm Wells,
He went in such a capacity that He could take care of everything,
even the sins of ignorance, and He would not be angry with me
over it. Well, people immediately bring
up, what about David? He sinned with Bathsheba and
the baby was taken. He did not punish David because
punishment fell on Christ. I know that. David's sin was paid for on the
cross. I know that. And all our sins
are paid for on the cross. In 1 John chapter 2 and verse
1, the apostle John said, if any man sin... Let's turn over
there. 1 John chapter 2. The Apostle Paul faced this problem
during his time with several of those groups that he had been
missionary to or pastoring, and there was always going to be
somebody in there that was going to say, now, if I believe that,
I will go do this, that grace may abound. And Paul said, you
will not if you know grace. If you know grace, you won't
do that. We don't sin that grace may abound. We sin because it's our nature
and we don't have to practice it. We don't have to plan for
it. Here in the book of 1 John, chapter one, excuse me, chapter
two and verse one, it says, my little children, these things
I write into you that you sin not. And if any man sin, we have
an advocate with the father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.
And He is the propitiation for our sins. What does that mean?
He's the atonement. He's already settled the case.
He's already settled the case. Now, He does want us to come
and confess our sins. He's faithful and just to forgive
us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. What's that
mean? Give us some peace about it. But the charge will never
be brought up again. The act that God has performed
on the cross has covered it in such a way. In the book of the
Psalms, it talks about Him covering our sin. And the first time that
word covering is found in the Old Testament is found during
the flood. Now, I don't know how tall the
mountains were at that time. If there was Mount Everest, I
know this. There's over 21 feet of water
over top of Mount Everest. Now, if Mount Everest was created
after the flood, the tallest mountain that the world had at
that time was covered by 21 feet of water. Now, it's covered. It didn't matter the height of
the mountain. The tallest mountain in the world
at that time was covered with water, and that is the same word
that is found with regard to the blood of Christ covering
our sin. Where sin abounded, grace did
much more abound. There's such a peace in the atonement
of Jesus Christ that God's people can rest in Him and not have
to worry about the next day Him being angry with us. My dad could
be angry that quick over things that happened two years ago.
My father in heaven was angry with his son who didn't deserve
it. and he was angry with him in
such a way that's called the day of vengeance, and he pulled
out his sword of justice, and he performed what was necessary
on his son in order for all his chosen ones to go free and be
able to say, Our Father which art in heaven, holy be your name. Or to go down one higher, go
up one step higher, Abba Father, Daddy Father. Such a relationship
that God has with His church that we can call Him the Heavenly
Father. Better than that, the Daddy Father,
the Father that has forgiven all our sins and all our iniquities
and our transgressions have been covered in complete and totality,
in fact, so much that it covered like the world was covered with
water. That ark was covered on the outside
with pitch, and on the inside with pitch, and the outside of
that boat went through all the stress the rest of the world
went through, but everybody inside of that boat was protected. because
it was covered with the same word we get our word atonement
from. It faced every bit of the wrath
outside, but inside those people were at rest. So, what happens? The sheep are sinners in themselves,
but not before God's judgment seat. He made us clean and we
are found to be as he is, so are we in this world. Now I can't explain that, but
I like it. As he is, so are we in this world. As holy as he
is, so are we in this world. As redeemed, as He is a Redeemer,
so are we. The atonement, atone for, we're
as grand as He is in this world. And it says that we are heirs
of God and joint heirs, equal heirs with the Son. Now that means things have been
taken care of. Anger has been taken care of.
Sin's been taken care of. Everybody that has that, has
been given that by Almighty God, they have an SS after their name. I was found fault with one time
because I didn't have letters after my name. I didn't go to
Bible school. I went for six months, left,
and said, this is worthless. Didn't get any letters after
my name. So I was like an old preacher in England, I assume
two letters after my name, SS, saved sinner. That's the letters
after all of the church's name, saved sinner. And we can meet
God with great joy, come in boldly into his presence with great
joy. because he totally took care of the issue that was between
his children and his God, the sin offering. God took care of
it. He pictured it, and it is all
Christ Jesus on the behalf of his people. That's a blessing. Thank you,
Norm. Levi's name, from which the book
of Leviticus is taken, means joined to. That's what Levi means,
joined to. We are joined to Christ. He is
joined to us. God made him sin who knew no
sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. That was a Christ-exalting message,
and I'm very thankful for it. Let's stand together, Brother
Tom. Number 20. Okay, number 20. Let's stand together. Long, long before the world was
made, God chose to save me by His grace and blessed me in my
covenant head with every blessing of His grace. In Christ my surety
was found, A ransom for God's chosen one. Deliverance was then
proclaimed, And God's great work of grace begun. In the due time my Savior came
to do His Holy Father's will. A body was prepared for Him that
He might righteousness fulfill. When Christ had righteousness
brought in, He took my awful load of sin. Dying for me upon
the tree, My Savior put away my sin. Though I was born a child
of wrath, depraved and helpless, dead in sin, and though I chose
the rebel's path, despising God and loving sin, My Savior's love
could not be quenched. He sought and found me by His
grace. Awakened by His Spirit's call,
I'm saved, I'm saved by sovereign grace. Amazing free and sovereign
grace, in love Christ Jesus took my place. Chosen, redeemed, and
called by grace, in Christ alone I give all praise. My only hope,
my only plea, is that Christ lived and died for me. In Him alone I am complete, to
Christ alone my praise shall be. Senator.
