Grace Arrested
From Outlaw to Redeemed: Embracing Grace in Eliel Wyss's Melody
Lyrics
I was made in Your image
I acknowledge that I was created in the image of God.
But I've received some damage
Despite my creation in God's image, I have experienced damage or brokenness.
Sin tried to take my soul
Sin has attempted to claim my soul.
Thankfully I heard that there is more
Fortunately, I learned that there is more to life beyond the grasp of sin.
I was made by a loving God
God, who is loving, is the one who created me.
Who seeks a heart formed by love
God desires a heart shaped by love.
Communion are the words you speak
The words you speak form a communion or connection with God.
Resurrection is the life You teach
The teachings about resurrection constitute the essence of life.
Your grace came and rescued me
Your grace came and rescued me from the grip of sin.
Restoration is alive in me
Restoration is now a living reality within me.
I was an outlaw Your grace arrested me
Although I was once an outlaw, your grace apprehended and transformed me.
I was an orphan Your grace has found me
I was like an orphan, but your grace has found and adopted me.
I was crowned one wanted by the King of Kings
I was once considered a rebel by the King of Kings.
No longer an outlaw now I rest in Your grace
Now, no longer an outlaw, I find rest in your grace.
You laid in me a message
You implanted a message within me.
And I've received the language
I have embraced the language of this message.
When I heard the word of truth
Upon hearing the word of truth, graciously, you inscribed love on my soul.
Graciously You wrote with love on my soul
The living Christ is where I am now found.
I am found in the living Christ
Hope came through the death and life of Christ.
His death and life gave me hope
I declare with my mouth that you are my Lord.
My mouth says that You are my Lord
My heart acknowledges your resurrection from the dead.
And my heart knows You've raised from the dead
The Savior delivered me from the clutches of sin.
The Savior delivered me
Salvation is now reflected in my life.
Salvation's now mirrored in me
Once an outlaw, your grace arrested and transformed me.
I was an outlaw Your grace arrested me
I was like an orphan, but your grace has found and adopted me.
I was an orphan Your grace has found me
I was once considered a rebel by the King of Kings.
I was crowned one wanted by the King of Kings
Now, no longer an outlaw, I find rest in your grace.
No longer an outlaw now I rest in Your grace
Once an outlaw, your grace arrested and transformed me.
I was an outlaw Your grace arrested me
I was like an orphan, but your grace has found and adopted me.
I was an orphan Your grace has found me
I was once considered a rebel by the King of Kings.
I was crowned one wanted by the King of Kings
Now, no longer an outlaw, I find rest in your grace.
No longer an outlaw now I rest in Your grace
Once an outlaw, your grace arrested and transformed me.
