Redeemed And Saved

Author: Thomas O. Chisholm Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Appears in 14 hymnals First Line: Redeemed and saved! For me the Savior suffered Lyrics: 1 Redeemed and saved! For me the Savior suffered, Laid down His life, a ransom for my own; Took on Himself my load of condemnation, And tread the cruel winepress all alone. Refrain: Redeemed! Redeemed! My grateful heart keeps singing, Redeemed and saved! How wonderful it seems! My sin is gone, I am an heir of glory, O bliss indeed beyond my brightest dreams! 2 Redeemed and saved! Oh! rapturous was the moment, When, in despair, I heard His pardon free, When first I knew the Son of God, in dying, Had died for me, had died for even me. [Refrain] 3 Redeemed and saved! No more a wandering alien, No more the guilt, the fears I felt before; But now a peace and joy that never faileth, Since I am His, yes, His forevermore! [Refrain] Used With Tune: ROANOKE

Leftover People in Leftover Places

Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Leftover people in leftover places, troubled, disabled, the needy and sad, scavenging crumbs from society's plenty, sick to the soul when their life has gone bad; these are the ones in God's upside-down kingdom deemed to be worthy and called to the feast, soup-kitchen people invited to banquet, valued as greatly as royal and priest. 2 Leftover people, disposable people, locked into prisons of drugs and despair, poverty's children in poverty's spiral, locked out of learning and earning their share; these are the ones in God's upside-down kingdom, these are the Christ in their shabby disguise, these are the least and the highly unlikely, given a hope and new light in their eyes. 3 Here is God's testing of true Easter people, spirited people with service to give, taking to heart the compassion of Jesus, feeling how others must struggle to live; we are a part of God's upside-down kingdom, we know the heart if the gospel's demand, taking our part with the leftover people, widening the space of the lines in the sand.
