Ordo Salutis

Men: Lost in sin With no thirst for God, In Adam I lost my sight. In sin I died; The grave opened wide To usher in eternal night. Cast away -- What more can I say? There was no life in me. My heart was black; I could not turn back; I had no desire to be free. Women: That’s when the Lord
banished the night; Jesus declared, “Let there
be light!” All: Just like Jesus called
Lazarus out of the grave, The Savior revealed His great power to save! He said “Come forth and
live; Death no longer reigns. So give God all glory and
praise!

Men: Far from home The prodigal roams With no merit at all. He wasted grace; There’s mud on his face; He’s covered in sin from
the Fall. Tearless eyes Confirm he despises Every thought of the Lord. He needs our prayers That grace will be there To show him the God we
adore. Women: That’s when the Lord
banishes night; Jesus declares, “Let there
be light!” All: Just like Jesus called
Lazarus out of the grave, The Savior reveals His great power to save! He says “Come forth and
live; Death no longer reigns. So give God all glory and
praise! The Lord revives the heart
with new life And the heart responds in
faith; The Lord forgives, and
forever lives To assure we forever are
saved! Just like Jesus called
Lazarus out of the grave, The Savior reveals His great power to save! He says “Come forth and
live; Death no longer reigns. So give God all glory and
praise! Give God all glory and
praise! |
