From Colossians 1:13-14:  “He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”

Looking down from Heaven

Observing broken world

Father, Son, and Spirit

Designing rescue’s lifeline

Dispatching Son to earth

Walking among sinners

Light’s rescue comes to save

Taking perfect human form

Witnessing Father’s love

Executing rescue

Journey to bloody Cross

Rebuilding faith’s cornerstone

Voiding enemy’s lies

Saving flawed humanity

God’s rescue overcomes

Replacing darkness with light

Paying man’s debts in full

Bearing each transgression

Through Son’s body and blood

Raising salvation’s rescue

From Acts 2:37-39:  “Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and to the other apostles, ‘Brothers, what should we do?’  Peter said to them, ‘Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.  For the promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are far away, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to Him.'”
