Praise be to our God
Praise His holy name
He chose to walk with us
Take on the human frame
And O what love that came
To save my wondering soul
And O the price He paid
For me to be made whole
In Jesus I will trust
My hope in Him is sure
He seeks and saves the lost
And opens Heaven’s door
Rescuer, poured out His love
Liberator, broken for us
Rescuer, rose from the grave
Liberator, with the power to save
