Perfectly Purchased, For Love Has Claimed Me

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.
