I came to Him, so proud and so sure,
Caught in the web of the world’s allure.
Needing no Savior, or so I had thought,
Neither the love nor redemption He bought.

Happy with life and feeling no pain,
Basking in sunshine and warm in the rain.
Yet something was missing – not really there,
Wanting to search, but knowing not where.

I heard a message of salvation for all,
Hope for those condemned in the fall.
An escape from the curse that leads to the grave,
The sick, lame, and halt, and blind ones to save.

A ‘ransom for all’ sounded so right,
What a way to describe the One through whose might,
Mankind will rise and claim what was lost,
A kingdom forever! – and worthy the cost.
