Aaron Shust has captured in his song ‘You Redeem’ so many of the points made in tonight’s service.
‘Poverty loses its grip.
Race can no longer divide.
Wherever Your Spirit is,
Every darkness dies.
Freedom is here with us.
Burdens will fall like chains.
Beauty will rise from the dust
All that’s lost will be regained.
You redeem, You redeem
You restore what’s been stolen from me.
You reclaim, You releasem
You rebuild with the words that You breathe.
You redeem.
Mercy will pour down like rain.
Justice will come for the weak.
Lies that were meant to defame
Will be crushed by the the truth that You speak.
Miracles will happen.
Healing will come.
The plans of our enemy ruined undone.
Miracles will happen.
Healing will come.
Here in your presence, lost in Your Love.
Miracles will happen.
Healing will come.
The plans of our enemy ruined undone.
Miracles will happen.
Healing will come.
Wrecked by Your presencem I’m lost in Your Love.
You redeem, You redeem.
You restore what’s been stolen from me.
You reclaim, You release
You rebuild with the words that You breathe
You redeem, You redeem.
Let Your revival awaken me.
You reclaim, You release.
You rebuild what’s been broken in me.
You redeem.
You redeem.’
God is all about restoring us to relationship with Him and giving us new life, strength, spirit, hope and joy. He is our Redeemer, the One who has bought us back and given us the freedom to walk according to the law of the Spirit instead of the law of sin and death. (Rom 8:1-4) He wants us to reclaim all that He has made freely available, to be released from the negative impact of sin, to walk in newness of life and be rebuilt according to the image of His precious Son, Jesus Christ.
