“Praise the Lord, the God of Israel,
    because he has visited and redeemed his people.
He has sent us a mighty Savior
    from the royal line of his servant David…
_{Luke 1:68-69 NLT}

A Savior came
in quiet darkness
to restore
the hopeless

The King came
without a word
to release
the captives.

The Prince came
wrapped in rags
to restore
the lost.

Immanuel came
fully God, fully human
to reform
the broken.

No longer do they say
I’m hopeless,
a captive,
lost and broken

Now they proclaim
to all who will hear
Glory to God in the highest
his love has done great things

I am redeemed!

Has the Lord redeemed you?

Then speak out!
    Tell others he has redeemed you from your enemies.
For he has gathered the exiles from many lands,
    from east and west,
    from north and south.

Some wandered in the wilderness,
    lost and homeless.
Hungry and thirsty,
    they nearly died.
“Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble,
    and he rescued them from their distress.
He led them straight to safety,
    to a city where they could live.
Let them praise the Lord for his great love
    and for the wonderful things he has done for them.
_{Psalm 107:2-8 NLT}
