Again I Need

Tell me again,

Again I need to hear,

How that You bled and died and cried out,

“It’s finished!” for all to hear.

Tell me again,

Again I need to know,

How that my sins are forgiven, I live

Because You rose.

You rose!  Jesus, You rose!

There’s no victory down in the grave;

Death cannot hold me

Because You told me

For my sin, Your life You gave.

Show me again,

Again I need to see,

How by Your light I may come when You call,

“Follow Me!”

Show me again,

Again I need Your eyes,

To see who I am, redeemed I stand,

Reconciled!

Reconciled!  Reconciled!

There’s no victory down in the grave;

Death cannot hold me

Because You told me

For my sin, Your life You gave.

Remind me again,

Again I need to think right,

So when doubt assails, faith prevails

To believe You’re the Truth, Way and Life.

Remind me again,

Again I need Your Word,

So I may rejoice when I hear Your voice say,

“Beloved, of My love be assured!”

Be assured!  Be assured!

There’s no victory down in the grave;

Death cannot hold me

Because You told me

For my sin, Your life You gave.
