The Ransom

Darkness seeks to take control  

Reachin’ ev’ry corner                       

Is there light for us to see?                

Can we wait much longer?                

Seems anger rules the day now 

Hateful words all around                  

Darkened hearts are all we see  

Can love be lost and found?              

We’re searchin’ for some answers     

An answer for us all             

The answer’s name is Jesus              

Please save us from the fall               

Lost passion for each other               

No helping hand or two        

Lookin’ out for number one              

Is all that’s in our view         

We’re searchin’ for some answers     

An answer for us all             

The answer’s name is Jesus              

Please save us from the fall               

He paid the price, His mercy shown  

His gift of life is offered       

And faith is all He asks us for           

Our lives, forever altered                  

We’re searchin’ for some answers

And rescued from the fall     

Lord Jesus is the answer       

The ransom paid for all
