An Eternal Exchange
How can one be dead and yet living?
A question asked with earnest desire to know
Life apparent in my lungs
Yet fully absent in my soul
A truth not yet known
Water from a well I had not drawn
Living in this kingdom
All of which I saw not one thing wrong
Many steps taken in this place
That of which I knew not
Yet remaining in the darkness
An exchange complete and fully bought
Currency not known
In the domain where I was residing
A bank transfer I take no part
You are where my heart one day would be abiding
He has delivered me from darkness
And transferred me to the light
A decision I made not on my own
Yet undeserving, He alone made me right
In whom I have redemption
All that which was both broken and lost
You plucked me out of death
New life, you bore my cost
Underserving and yet given
Abundant grace and rich mercy are yours
I've been transferred from that place of dusk
A crown of a daughter I've been adorned
That life has now been buried
Your water now washed me clean
I've been baptized with Him who had no fault
Both fully loved and fully seen
Newness of life is apparent
But by no work of my own
I've found the rest my soul desired
My feet found planted at your throne
You've plucked me out of darkness
And transferred me to light
Cancelled the record of my debt
Through Him, I'm now the righteousness in your sight
