I Have Redeemed Thee

1
It only takes a spark to start a fire,
And soon the forest is in flames.
It only takes a word to make a lie,
And crucify the Best of Names.

2
The gentle rain above turns to a flood,
And takes the labor of our hands.
The murmur of the earth turns to a mob,
And fights for fleeting wealth and lands.

3
The winds of change come as they please;
A gentle breeze turns to a gale.
One constant in the foaming seas,
Our Rock & Anchor will prevail.

Chorus 1 & 2 - A
There is a promise from the Lord:
He will reward all evil in the end;
And those of us who have been true,
He will restore it all ten times again.

Chorus 3 - A
There is a promise from the Lord:
He will preserve us to the end;
And if we trust Him and be true,
He will reward us all ten times again.

Chorus 1-3 - B
I have redeemed thee; I will restore.
Where I am dwelling, it is secure.
I have redeemed thee. Look up to me.
For where your eyes are, your heart will be.
