Christ is hope, and Christ is peace.
In Him is where I found release.
Release from the sin that tied me down.
Set free from the sins that kept me bound.
Christ is hope, in Him is love.
My trust is in Him, I will not be moved.
I cannot undo my scandalous past,
But in Christ my Saviour, I am free at last.
If you, but knew, my Saviour's Grace...
If you could but look in His Forgiving Face
You would see that His compassion is real.
He came to forgive, He came to heal.
There is nothing more that I can add
To the beautiful forgiveness that I have.
When Christ The Savior died, He saw our sins.
He saw the evil that lurked within.
He saw that we dwelled in a hopeless state,
And without His sacrifice, we'd suffer a horrible fate.
Then He gave Himself, though we did not deserve.
He came to love, and forgive, to heal, and to serve.
He taught the spirit of the law, and not just the letter.
Some could not understand, and thought they knew better.
Not one of us is any more wanted than the other,
Not father, nor sister, or mother, or brother.
Nor the woman caught in adultery, or the prodigal son.
He died to save and forgive us all, no matter what we've done.
Nor the lonely wanderer trying to fill an empty heart,
Or a hurtful prostitute who so tries to play the part.
Even a running, using, adulterous man.
Saving all and more of these was part of His Plan.
He knows all about our hearts, and still lets us live
When we turn to Him, for He longs to forgive.
He ceased my wanderings by His Sacrificial Death.
And I will tell of His Mercy until my last breath.
So, if you are lost and alone on this day after Thanksgiving...
Just give Jesus your heart and life...
And He will show you real living!
