Bought Back (Ephesians 1:7)

[INTRO — spoken] Mercy doesn’t leave you the same. [VERSE 1] A man walks out with silver in his hands And chains in his memory He thinks the world is only law and punishment Only what you deserve But a priest speaks over the verdict Calls the stolen “gift” And leans in close like a quiet thunder You belong to good, not this [PRE-CHORUS] That kind of mercy cracks a heart wide open Changes what a future means And I see my own name in the story Where You stepped in for me [CHORUS] You didn’t shame me, You reclaimed me When justice had me locked away You whispered forgiveness in the rubble And You rolled my stone away I was bought back, I was brought home By a love I can’t out-run You don’t treat me like my sin deserves You treat me like Your son [VERSE 2] Forgiveness changes us too Because it changed You, it cost You You showed me grace when I had none to give When I had nothing I could prove You leaned in close and said it plainly I forgive you, I forgive you I bled to buy you back and give you to God So you can live made new [PRE-CHORUS 2] So I lay down my right to stay bitter I lay down the prison key If You’ve been this rich in kindness Teach my heart to release [CHORUS] You didn’t shame me, You reclaimed me When justice had me locked away You whispered forgiveness in the rubble And You rolled my stone away I was bought back, I was brought home By a love I can’t out-run You don’t treat me like my sin deserves You treat me like Your son [BRIDGE — scripture (word-for-word, NLT)] He is so rich in kindness and grace That he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son And forgave our sins [FINAL CHORUS — bigger] You didn’t shame me, You reclaimed me When justice had me locked away You whispered forgiveness in the rubble And You rolled my stone away I was bought back, I was brought home And You will never let me go You don’t treat me like my sin deserves You love me like You’ve always known
