Finding my Salvation « Songs from the Valley

This is a parody of the iconic REM song: Losing my religion. On Resurrection Sunday 2011 I could not resist the irony. We have not found a religion; we have a Saviour who has found us in our darkness and taken us into the light of His Presence.

Oh Lord, you suffered
Yes, dying for me
And I was guilty
The lengths that you have gone to
Incarnate, crucified
Oh yes it was my sin:
You took it on

That's me in my darkness
That's me in the Son's light
Finding your forgiveness
Trying to keep up your Law
And I know that I can't do it
Jesus, You have done it all
There's nothing I can add
I know that you died for me
I know that you rose for me
I know your death has set us free

Every minute
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing to confess you
Trying to keep your word
Live according to your Truth
Oh yes you've done it all
You've set me free

Consider this
Consider this:
The Cross of Calvary
Consider this:
The death that brought me
To my knees, saved
And the Grace You've given
Stands guarding me now
And You have done it all
I know that you died for me
I know that you rose for me
I know your death has set us free

Sacrificed your life
That was all your love

That's me in my darkness
That's me in the Son's light
Finding your forgiveness
Trying to keep up your law
And I know that I can't do it
Jesus, You have done it all
There's nothing I can add
I know that you died for me
I know that you rose for me
I know your death has set us free

Sacrificed your life
That was all your love
Your blood poured out
Your life poured out
That was all your love
All your love

Just your love
