Gospel Trust

Trust his timing, trust his plan
Trust when you don’t understand
The fullness of time has surely come
And God sends forth his only begotten son
Fulfillment of the story of Israel
Messiah is our Emmanuel

This is the good news that we tell
Redemption comes from slavery’s chains
The more sure word has splintered hell
And freedom’s foundation he ordains.

The more desperate our need
The more joyful our joy
The righteous branch from the woman’s seed
Has come to us as a baby boy.
The dungeon’s depth from which we are freed
Reservoir of grace sees death destroyed

This is the good news that we tell
And so His loss becomes our gain
The resurrection now has rent the veil
And bold redemption Christ proclaims.
