You rescued me and picked me up
A living hope, a place revealed
A life transformed in righteousness
Oh won't you have rescued me
Forgiving me, you healed my heart
You set me free from sin and death
You brought me life and made me whole
Oh won't you have rescued me
And you loved me before i knew you
And you knew me for all time
A new created in your image Oh lord
And you bought me
And you sought me
Your blood poured out for me
A new creation in your image oh lord
You rescued me (2x)
You rescued me and picked me up
A living hope, a place revealed
A life transformed in righteousness
Oh won't you have rescued me
Forgiving me, you healed my heart
You set me free from sin and death
You brought me life and made me whole
Oh won't you have rescued me
And you loved me before i knew you
And you knew me for all time
A new created in your image Oh lord
And you bought me
And you sought me
Your blood poured out for me
A new creation in your image oh lord
You rescued me (6x)
