Kinsman-Redeemer, Savior of my soul,

Restorer of my life. I worship You,

I acknowledge that all I have, all

I am is because of You and what

You’ve done.

I know the past: my mistakes, my sins,

My brokenness, and weep with grief

At all that’s lost, but then I watch

You do what only You can do

And all’s made new.

Redeeming my soul, redeeming

My past, redeeming my all, You

Work in my heart, my life, and

Little by little, You make

All things new.

I do not deserve it, could not

Earn it, but by grace I receive

It. And in You, through You all

Is redeemed and transformed

For Your glory.

And at such grace, all I can do is

Fall at Your feet in holy wonder

Overwhelmed at the depths

Of divine love, Your tender

Compassion for me.
