Our Savior Appeared
Encounter with Redemption: Our Savior's Grace
Lyrics
Oh I once was foolish at heart
Realizing past foolishness and lack of wisdom in the heart.
Unaware that I could be wrong
Formerly unaware of the possibility of being wrong.
Self-assured and self-righteous, I was
Confident and self-righteous in the past.
Ever a slave to my ruined wants
Being a slave to destructive desires and wants.
But then the goodness
Transition to a positive change in perspective.
And lovingkindness of God
Acknowledging the goodness and lovingkindness of God.
Our Savior appeared
Recognition of the appearance of the Savior.
Erring deeply disobeying my God
Deep errors and disobedience towards God.
Grasping what's fading and tempting my heart
Grasping at fading and tempting desires of the heart.
Weary fists clenched from fighting you God
Weary struggle and resistance against God.
I was broken down I could not restart
Feeling broken and unable to restart.
But then the goodness
Reiteration of the goodness and lovingkindness of God.
And lovingkindness of God
Continued acknowledgment of divine benevolence.
Our Savior appeared
Reiteration of the appearance of the Savior.
But then the goodness
Repeat of the acknowledgment of God's goodness.
And lovingkindness of God
Reaffirmation of the lovingkindness of God.
Our Savior appeared
Confirmation of the appearance of the Savior.
He saved us
Declaration of salvation by the Savior.
Not for the works we have done
Emphasis on salvation not based on personal works.
He saved us
Repeat emphasis on salvation through mercy and love.
According to His mercy and love
Reiteration of the mode of salvation.
He saved us
Second emphasis on salvation not tied to personal works.
Not for the works we have done
Reiteration of salvation through mercy and love.
He saved us
Restatement of salvation through divine mercy.
According to His mercy and love
Repeat emphasis on salvation according to mercy and love.
But then the goodness
Reiteration of the goodness and lovingkindness of God.
And lovingkindness of God
Continued acknowledgment of divine benevolence.
Our Savior appeared
Confirmation of the appearance of the Savior.
But then the goodness
Reaffirmation of the goodness and lovingkindness of God.
And lovingkindness of God
Repetition of acknowledgment of divine benevolence.
Our Savior appeared
Final confirmation of the appearance of the Savior.
