Great Restorer: A Song of Redemption and Trust
Lyrics
You emptied Yourself like an autumn tree empties its leaves
You, like an autumn tree, shed everything, symbolizing a self-emptying act.
You poured out Your blood like a fountain pours everything
Your blood was poured out abundantly, akin to a fountain, emphasizing a sacrificial act.
You conquered the grave to redeem Your offspring
You triumphed over death, aiming to save your descendants.
And I will sing victory belongs to the King
I will sing that victory rightfully belongs to you, the King.
