LORD Jesus, Thou hast bought me,
I’m sheltered by Thy blood,
From judgment and destruction;
I’ve heard the Word of God.
“When blood upon the lintel,
And side posts can be seen,
The destroyer will pass over,
All safe are those within.”
What sense of peace and safety
Now fills my heart and mind,
The sword that brings destruction
No entrance here can find;
I’m marked as Thine forever,
I’m “sanctified” by Thee,
Thou’st made me Thine own treasure,
Thou’st bound my heart to Thee.
The Red Sea lay before me,
The enemy behind,
How to escape such peril
Could cross no human mind;
But Thine arm brought salvation,
Thou rolled’st back the sea,
Thy people then passed over
Delivered―saved―set free.
Free to sing songs of triumph
On Resurrection’s shore,
To praise and bless the Saviour
Who’ll reign for evermore.
Our foes have all been vanquished,
We’ve nothing more to fear,
From that sad house of bondage
We’re now forever clear.
And now my heart is “satisfied,”
First, “sheltered” by the blood,
For me there’s no destroyer,
So says the Word of God,
I know I have been “sanctified,”
I’m set apart by Him,
Who called me out of darkness
To ever joy in Him.
I’d now show forth His praises
To everyone around,
And tell them the sweet story
How I was “lost” and “found.”
My heart is fully “satisfied,”
My feet are fitly shod,
He’s robed me for the presence
Of God, my Father God.
He’s set a feast before me,
I’m in “His house of wine”;
What wonderful “salvation,”
This Saviour-God is mine.
I have His word of promise,
He’ll all my need supply
Till found with Him in glory,
I praise Him by-and-bye.
