Redemption
Amanda Cook's song "Our Jesus" is a worship ballad that celebrates the redemptive work of Christ. The lyrics reflect on how Jesus' sacrifice paid for human sin, offering freedom and healing. The song emphasizes God's love that covers all failures and lifts people from despair, setting prisoners free and bringing new beginnings. It speaks of transformation from old ways to new life, with a tone of gratitude and awe. The repeated declaration that His love covers all reinforces a message of grace and hope, making it a fitting piece for personal reflection or congregational worship.
Everything that I was to blame for
Was a trade for Your hand in mine
The spear that pierced the side of my Saviour
Was a payment for my life
You've seen every one of us flounder
In the water, we were drowning
But You dwell and delight in the impossible
Of raising us to our feet
Oh, love that runs on oceans with the least of these
Oh, love, my covering
Because You gave it all
When I fall from my feet, I know
Your love covers all
Covers all, covers all
You send word to open my shackles
Healing salve on my wrists and feet
Now the old is gone and forgotten
And the new is coming with the morning
Oh, love that never fails to set the prisoner free
Oh, love running wild with me
Because You gave it all
I can stand to my feet and know
Your love covers all
Covers all, covers all
Because You gave it all
When I fall from my feet, I know
Your love covers all
Covers all, covers all
Because You gave it all
I can stand to my feet and know
Your love covers all
Covers all, covers all
