Saviour of My Soul

From Bethlehem, beneath the star,
Although you never travelled far,
And ‘though the years did pass by swift,
You brought the world a priceless gift.

You ceaseless walked o'er dusty trail,
That light o'er darkness might prevail.
I wish that I, my gratefulness,
To you might someday full express.

For 'though I cannot comprehend,
The magnitude of gifts you send,
I know that only by thy grace,
May I return to see thy face.

My friend, example and my guide.

Oh Saviour, Redeemer of this world,
As Satan, from thy midst was hurled;
I too my sins might also spurn,
That godhood, one day, I might earn.

And live with thee in peace forever more.

For on this earth you suffered all,
Redeeming mankind from the fall.
A feat above the mortal man,
Within the jaws of hell you ran.

And then returned, the Saviour of my soul.

In humble manger wert thou born.
You lived a life of pain and scorn.
And though you suffered Satan's wrath,
You never varied from the path.

And thus I marvel at thee Lord,
For me thy life blood freely poured.
And on the cross in pain were racked,
As courage thou hast never lacked.

And this, a ransom not of gold,
As prophets long before foretold.
You paid with blood and pain and life.
You overcame the world's strife.

Indebted then, I'll be eternally.

Oh Saviour, redeemer of this world,
As Satan, from thy midst was hurled;
I too my sins might also spurn,
That godhood, one day, I might earn.

And live with thee in peace forever more.

For on this earth you suffered all,
Redeeming mankind from the fall.
A feat above the mortal man,
Within the jaws of hell you ran.

Thy glory earned, oh Saviour of my soul.
