Redeem Me from My Sins

Beloved Savior, the Son of God
Thine angels awoke my soul
Now I lay upon repentance sod
From my sins, won't Thou come and make me whole?

For the devil comes quickly in his mighty winds
To trap me in the whirlwind's shafts
Dragging me miserably as endless wo descends
While, daily, my demise he crafts

Oh, won't Thou help me to stand
Upon the rock which Ye are built
And hold me safely in Thy hand
Away from all the sin filled silt

His gulf is dark and sickening
And ever I feel alone
Won't Thou heal me unto quickening
Through Thy powers which atone

This I prayed curled in a ball
Swallowed up in pain
Ever being prone to fall
Of my needs... I spoke plain

Then something in my heart did pound
As the Spirit in me burned
And I felt as though on holy ground
For upon the Lord's foundation, I'd returned



Helaman 5:9 O remember, remember, my sons, the words which king Benjamin spake unto his people; yea, remember that there is no other way nor means whereby man can be saved, only through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, who shall come; yea, remember that he cometh to redeem the world.
10 And remember also the words which Amulek spake unto Zeezrom, In the city of Ammonihah; for he said unto him that the Lord surely should come to redeem his people, but that he should not come to redeem them in their sins, but to redeem them from their sins.
11 And he hath power given unto him from the Father to redeem them from their sins because of repentance; therefore he hath sent his angels to declare the tidings of the conditions of repentance, which bringeth unto the power of the Redeemer, unto the salvation of their souls.
12 And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.
