RESCUED

(based on Colossians 1: 13-14)
-Chorus-
I'VE BEEN RESCUED FROM THE SLAVE MARKET
I'VE BEEN REDEEMED
I'VE BEEN RESCUED FROM THE SLAVE MARKET
I'VE BEEN REDEEMED
I SET MY MIND ON THINGS ABOVE ? I TALK TO GOD EACH DAY
I PUT TO DEATH MY FLESHLY PLANS ? AND ASK HIM FOR HIS WAY
I LEAN UPON HIS WISDOM ? I LOOK UPON HIS CROSS
I LOVE HIM FOR HIS MERCY AND FOR HIS EARTHLY LOSS
-CHORUS-
I PUT TO DEATH MY MEMBERS ? I THINK UPON THINGS PURE
I CRUCIFY MY EVIL MIND ? I'VE GOT THE HEAVENLY CURE
MY LIVING GOD AND SAVIOR ? I GIVE WHAT'S BAD TO HIM
HE GIVES ME BACK THE POWER TO LIVE AND TURN AWAY FROM SIN
-CHORUS-
I USED TO LIVE FOR PLEASURE ? SEEKING EARTHLY GAIN
I USED TO LOVE TO CHEAT AND LIE AND LIVE ON NIETZSCHE'S PLANE
IF ALL THINGS ARE PERMITTED ? THEN GOD IS DEAD IN YOU
BUT GOD'S NOT DEAD HE'S LIVING STILL AND I'M THE LIVING PROOF
-CHORUS-
