Once in silence, empty, hopeless,<BR/>now we hear God’s gospel word,<BR/>promises first heard by Abraham<BR/>once again by us are heard.<BR/><BR/>3. Once enslaved like slaves of Pharaoh<BR/>now from sin and death set free;<BR/>exodus was re-enacted<BR/>as God’s Lamb was slain for me.<BR/><BR/>4. Once we wandered barren pathways,<BR/>far from God and on our own;<BR/>now we’re part of God’s new family,<BR/>pilgrims with a heav’nly home.<BR/><BR/>5. Once we lived as we decided,<BR/>fashioning our tyranny.<BR/>David’s Son is now our saviour,<BR/>bringing peace and liberty.<BR/><BR/>6. God proclaims his gracious promise,<BR/>‘Yes’ Christ echoes back again,<BR/>and we join the conversation:<BR/>to God’s glory cry ‘Amen’.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Tim Chester<BR/>Copyright (c) 2004 Tim Chester c/o www.thecrowdedhouse.org<BR/>May be copied and freely used for non-profit personal and congregational use.<BR/><BR/>For a tune go to www.thecrowdedhouse.org and click the 'resources room' link.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
