King of Love
Saved by Grace: Embracing Redemption in the King of Love's Call
Lyrics
King of Love you've called my name
Recognition and acknowledgment of being called by the King of Love.
You gave me life although the shame,
Gratitude for receiving life despite past shame and mistakes.
Had covered me, you took my hand,
Expression of being guided and supported by the King of Love.
And here I stand, I'm saved by grace.
Standing in the present moment, saved by grace.
Father God, you heard the prayer
Addressing God as Father and recalling a prayer from the depths of the spirit.
From deep within my spirit cried
A plea for divine intervention and rescue from a state of need.
If there's a God, come rescue me,
An acknowledgment of the existence of God and a call for rescue.
Now here I stand, I'm saved by grace.
Standing in the current moment, saved by grace.
I will thank you for saving my soul,
Expressing gratitude for the salvation of the soul.
For you've shown me the truth in your Word,
Recognition of truth found in the Word of God.
I will take up my cross and follow you,
Commitment to carry one's cross and follow the King of Love.
Now I live for the glory of God.
Living life with the purpose of glorifying God.
Now we turn, to walk away,
Turning away from negative qualities like selfishness, pride, and hate.
From selfishness, the pride and hate,
A commitment to leave behind negative traits.
And when we pass through stony ground,
Enduring challenges, symbolized by stony ground.
We'll gladly walk upon our knees,
Willingness to humble oneself and seek God through prayer.
So we cry out, "Come change us Lord,
A plea for transformation and a desire for a church rooted in God's Word.
Into a church that loves your Word"
Expressing a desire for a collective change towards love for God's Word.
We will return to knowing you,
A commitment to return to a deep connection with God.
With joy we walk beneath the Cross.
Walking joyfully under the symbol of the Cross, signifying faith and sacrifice.
We will thankyou for saving our souls,
Collective gratitude for the salvation of souls.
For you've shown us the truth in your Word,
Recognition of truth found in the collective understanding of God's Word.
We will take up the Cross and follow you,
Commitment to carry the Cross together and follow the King of Love.
Now we live for the glory of God.
Living life collectively for the purpose of glorifying God.
Now we live for the glory of God.
Reiteration of the commitment to live for the glory of God.
Now we live for the glory of God.
Final affirmation of living life for the glory of God.
