Oh redemption, sweet redemption!

I bought Matt Giles’ album earlier this week, and I have been listening to it a lot. This song is one of the reasons why, and you can listen to it on his MySpace page

Oh redemption, sweet redemption!
Satan has no hold on me!
Full indemnity, I have indemnity,
The debt is paid and I am free!
So impoverished and desperate,
In my sins, I would have died,
Yet my Kings eternal ransom,
Did my every need provide!

Oh the cross, my final plea!
Naught else to offer Thee,
But what Christ did for me.
A million sins implored my fall,
Christ died once, and crushed them all!

Power of death obliterated,
Serpent crushed beneath His feet.
From the grave He rose untainted,
And still He stands in victory.
In His death we stand united,
In His life we shall arise,
Earthly shadows now receding,
For heavens glory draws yet nigh!

Resurrected I shall be!
For His empty tomb
Will now ring true for me!
Blast of trumpet will resound,
We shall arise to claim our crowns!

He has raised a mighty army,
Where there once were only bones.
A people confident in His accomplishment;
That His perfect blood atones.
We will raise a royal banner,
With our heads held proudly high,
Boasting in the death of Jesus,
And His resurrection life!

Oh the cross, our final plea!
Jesus leads us on
To the victory!
Death and hell have been disarmed,
Christ is Lord! His kingdom come!
