He Gave

He rescued me.

Now I can stand and sing.                                          

He set me free.

To Him I’ll cling.

He broke my chains.

Now I can lift my hands.

He bore my pains.

Forever, I know He stands.

He gave me grace,

and grace I’ll give.

He gave me life.

For Him I’ll live.

Everything We Need

How wonderful it is to know

that every need is met by Him.

He covers us from head to toe

with His crimson blood that washes sin.                             

He is strength in weakness.                                              

He is the day in our night.

He is the joy in our sadness.

He is the winner over every battle.

In Him we’re made free.

In Him we are found.

In Him we’re made clean.

In Him darkness is drowned.

Christ is everything we need,

so we can trust Him with our days.

Surrender all and let Him lead,

and watch Him work in mighty ways.
