We’ve not been bought with diamonds, with silver or with gold
Since none of these could free us from the devil’s vice-like hold.
We’ve not been saved through threats, with promises or force
For such manipulative methods God would not endorse.
God did not barter with the devil, nor did He compromise;
He did not deign to make a deal with one famed for his lies.
He did not leave us all alone to die for our own sins;
We are not at the mercy of an idol’s selfish whims.
There is only one currency which can redeem our souls
Which can deliver us from sin and loose Satan’s control;
The price our Father paid to save us from the second death
Is the Blood shed by His Son as He gave His final breath.
