The God Who Rescued Me
by Buddy Greene

Album: A Few More Years

Now, I was a sailor and a reckless sort, and
I sailed my ship into countless ports
Looking for a good time, chasin' after thrills
Lovin' wine and women and my foolish will

Till I wound up shipwrecked, undone
Blind and beaten by the deeds I'd done
I cried out, "Lord, have mercy on me,
Can you help this blind man see?"

Then my eyes were opened and I saw my chains
And I heard a sweet voice calling my name
The chains were loosed as I fell to my knees,
for God had rescued me

Chorus:
Now I raise my song to the Holy One
To the Father of Love and His only Son
To the Spirit of Life - the Three-in-One -
The God who rescued me
And, for all my days and in all my ways
May I live my life givin' all of the praise
To the one and only everlasting Love,
The God who rescued me

Then I became a preacher, and I knew my stuff
And I thought my preaching made me good enough.
Till I met a sinner and he was saved by grace
While I was patting my back, he was on his face.

How quickly I had fallen away
From unconditional love and grace
And traded a son's for an orphan's place
And my self righteous ways
Then I saw my rags when I saw His cross
And by His grace I counted His cost
And all my gains I counted but loss for God had rescued me

Repeat Chorus
