Redeeming grace · Precious blood and cleansing
This hymn places praise before the cross: we acknowledge sin, receive the Saviour’s forgiveness and cleansing, and then give glory to him. Our joy comes from a restored relationship with the Lord and experiencing the reality of his salvation. Colossians explains that God rescues us from darkness and that we have redemption in his beloved Son, giving thanksgiving specific content. As we sing, we can recall how the Lord has moved us from guilt towards hope and intercede for those still seeking forgiveness. The hymn suits gospel testimonies, bringing their focus back to Jesus’ works. What we can boast in is the price the Saviour has already paid for sinners and his continuing mercy.
