Redeemer of the Broken

Redeemer of the Broken

 

His tender mercies we claim for our own

Our hearts will trust the Lord alone

Broken promises, shattered dreams

When weíve lost hope- He redeems

All the best brightest blessed things

Beyond what we deserve

The broken heart he sets on wings

The servant now is served!

 

Oh Redeemer of the broken

Restorer of the weak

The remedy for our disease

Your healing we will seek!

For the broken and the contrite heart

You will not send away

We enter into Paradise that day

We let the cross of Jesus have its way.

 

For I am crucified with Christ

Nevertheless I live

Yet not I , but it is Christ who lives in me.

I follow to the resurrection and all that it can give

The life I liveÝ in this body I live to Christ alone

He died upon the cross so I could live to make it known.

 

So that we could see the tree of life

He bore the tree of death

So that we could breath the breath of life

The breathed His final breath,

When the Son became a substitute

So for sin he could atone

He pulled the Sin out by its root

And there holy seed was sown.

 

Oh Redeemer of the broken

Restorer of the weak

The remedy for our disease

Your healing we will seek!

For the broken and the contrite heart

You will not send away

We enter into Paradise that day

We let the cross of Jesus have its way.
