He Takes Me Back

He takes me back when I still fail,
And sends my ship on winds to sail.
Deep pain would come, my life seemed lost.
His life for mine was too much cost!

Still, He gave it, and gave much more.
Infinite love from Heaven's shore.
In death He gained my victory.
Blind eyes, they were, now surely see.

What love has scaled death's valley deep,
And climbed those walls so very steep?
A love beyond all space, all time,
That wipes away terrible crime.

He poured His love upon my soul,
Before death came, it's bell to toll.
He takes me back when I still fail,
And sends my ship on winds to sail.
