The Root of Christian Doctrine

We cannot forget,
We must not forget,
The loving Savior,
Our Dear Redeemer,
He bought, with purchase,
Our pain to save us.

The righteous remnant
Felt wounds with their hands.
It was evident
That He broke death's bands,
With burdens of all.
We're saved from the fall.

Our climb to belay
Oh, Lord hear us cry.
When we are awry,
Please show us the way.
Please keep us from sin.
Our souls Thou did win.

Please root into hearts,
Thy suffering and death.
And as this week starts,
Please grant us with rest.
Please help us obey,
We sing and we pray.
