Redemption's Song (The Only One Who Saves) Lyrics Meanings
by Fellowship Bible Church, Bill Horn

We were dwelling in the shadow
Between the darkness and the light
We were aching for the sunrise
To tear away the starless night
We were longing in the valley
Beneath the emptiness and shame
Death was waiting in the gallows
And fear was calling us by name
Your wounds have opened the way
You are the only One who saves
The One who lifts us from the grave
The Lamb who died and rose again
Who made an end of death and sin
You stepped down from heaven's praises
To face the pain You saw ahead
Bore to Calvary our failure
And there You crushed our captor's head
Your wounds have opened the way
You are the only One who saves
The One who lifts us from the grave
The Lamb who died and rose again
Who made an end of death and sin
We are children of redemption
The ones You ransomed by Your blood
We will stay here in Your presence
Forever gathered by Your love
Your wounds have opened the way
Your scars have ended the fray
Redeemer, Faithful and True
You're making everything new
You are the only One who saves
The One who lifts us from the grave
The Lamb who died and rose again
Who made an end of death and sin
You are the only One who saves
The One who lifts us from the grave
The Lamb who died and rose again
Who made an end of death and sin
You are the One
The only One
You are the only One who saves
The One who lifts us from the grave
The Lamb who died and rose again
Who made an end of death and sin

We were dwelling in the shadow
Between the darkness and the light
We were aching for the sunrise
To tear away the starless night
We were longing in the valley
Beneath the emptiness and shame
Death was waiting in the gallows
And fear was calling us by name
Your wounds have opened the way
You are the only One who saves
The One who lifts us from the grave
The Lamb who died and rose again
Who made an end of death and sin
You stepped down from heaven's praises
To face the pain You saw ahead
Bore to Calvary our failure
And there You crushed our captor's head
Your wounds have opened the way
You are the only One who saves
The One who lifts us from the grave
The Lamb who died and rose again
Who made an end of death and sin
We are children of redemption
The ones You ransomed by Your blood
We will stay here in Your presence
Forever gathered by Your love
Your wounds have opened the way
Your scars have ended the fray
Redeemer, Faithful and True
You're making everything new
You are the only One who saves
The One who lifts us from the grave
The Lamb who died and rose again
Who made an end of death and sin
You are the only One who saves
The One who lifts us from the grave
The Lamb who died and rose again
Who made an end of death and sin
You are the One
The only One
You are the only One who saves
The One who lifts us from the grave
The Lamb who died and rose again
Who made an end of death and sin
