Perfectly purchased, for love has claimed me
Your scars are a signet; now I am sealed
I’m always, at all times, tethered to thee.
With you, I’m secured on that sacred tree
Staked within me, the covenant revealed
Perfectly purchased, your love has claimed me.
A slave you became so I could be free
By your crimson stripes, I’m thoroughly healed
I’m always, at all times, tethered to thee.
Spiritually barren, no longer I’ll be,
Unclad and bare, now my shame is concealed
Perfectly purchased, true love has claimed me.
A voice of concord, we shall agree,
When my tongue avows your word as I kneel.
I’m always, at all times, tethered to thee.
Never, I’ll be dissevered from thee
Coalescing grace has become my shield
Perfectly purchased, for love has claimed me
I’m always, at all times, tethered to thee.
