Oh Lord, My Redeemer - Jeff Goodrich

Oh Lord, My Redeemer

Jeff Goodrich

And the Roman soldiers laughed

When they saw their pris'ner stumble

He did not revile them back.

And wondering, I asked,

"Who was this man so humble?"

And a woman at my side

Choked on her reply.

Though she struggled not to weep,

The tears poured down her cheek,

Her heart breaking as she cried:

"Oh Lord, my Redeemer,

Thou has done so much for me!

Oh Lord, my Redeemer.

All my love I give to Thee!"

And the crowd went pushing on.

I felt compelled to follow.

I knew that they were wrong

How they mocked Him all along.

Suddenly my heart felt hollow.

For they nailed Him to a tree

On a hill called Calvary.

While I stood there filled with wonder,

The heavens roared with thunder,

And again I heard this plea:

"Oh Lord, my Redeemer,

Thou has done so much for me!

Oh Lord, my Redeemer.

All my love I give to Thee!"

I could not forget His face

As I wandered from that place.

With the questions ever burning.

I put myself to learning.

And each answer came with grace.

And I knelt in earnest prayer.

His memory still there

And the more that I'd enquire.

The hotter burned the fire.

I found joy beyond compare.

And the day turned into three.

Morning found me in a garden

Where the gentle April breeze

Returned me to my knees,

Pleading for a pardon.

And I can't say when or why

I opened up my eyes

But his feet were there before me,

His hands were open o'er me,

And His face I recognized.

"Oh Lord, my Redeemer,

Thou has done so much for me!

Oh Lord, my Redeemer.

All my love I give to Thee!"
