《The God Who Rescued Me》
歌手:Buddy Greene
专辑:Minstrel Of The Lord
Now, I was a sailor and a reckless sort
and I sailed my ship into countless ports
Looking for a good time, chasin' after thrills
Lovin' wine and women and my foolish will
Till I wound up shipwrecked, undone
Blind and beaten by the deeds I'd done
I cried out, "Lord, have mercy on me,
Can you help this blind man see?"
Then my eyes were opened and I saw my chains
And I heard a sweet voice calling my name
The chains were loosed as I fell to my knees
for God had rescued me
Now I raise my song to the Holy One
To the Father of Love and His only Son
To the Spirit of Life - the Three-in-One -
The God who rescued me
And, for all my days and in all my ways
May I live my life givin' all of the praise
To the one and only everlasting Love
The God who rescued me
Then I became a preacher, and I knew my stuff
And I thought my preaching made me good enough
Till I met a sinner and he was saved by grace
While I was patting my back, he was on his face
How quickly I had fallen away
From unconditional love and grace
And traded a son's for an orphan's place
And my self righteous ways
Then I saw my rags when I saw His cross
And by His grace I counted His cost
And all my gains I counted but loss for God had rescued me
Now I raise my song to the Holy One
To the Father of Love and His only Son
To the Spirit of Life - the Three-in-One -
The God who rescued me
And, for all my days and in all my ways
May I live my life givin' all of the praise
To the one and only everlasting Love
The God who rescued me
To the one and only everlasting Love
The God who rescued me
