God Is My Hero
God is my hero,
my Saviour, true Friend,
for me He rescued
from sin’s awful end.
I was drowning in seas,
trapped in a hole,
Satan biting my heels
to keep in his fold.
I was bound with strong cords,
fighting a war,
falling over a cliff
and sinking in sand,
when Jesus came and reached
saying, “Here, take My hand.”
He saved me and freed,
washed and made clean,
clothed me with a robe
which was His own.
Now righteous and white,
filled with love and His light,
I am a new creature
perfect in God’s sight!
