I am not redeemed by corruptible things.

I recently came across an old CD I hadn't really listened to since I was in high school. There are a number of great songs on the CD, but I especially was renewed by one titled "Incorruptible" by a band called Watermark. I leave the lyrics here in the hope that they will provide hope, peace, joy or whatever you heart needs this day.

incorruptible, indescribable
salvation's calling
when i was longing
now you're the strength that holds my life
with a love that will never die
and never fade like the flowers
it's a love that stands forever.

i am not redeemed by corruptible things
not by silver, not by gold
and not by aimless traditions
but by the blood of God's sacred son, Jesus.
O, you are now my living hope
and my inheritance is incorruptible

incomparable, inconceivable
your plans for me
shall always be
and for the day that you're revealed
my heart is forever sealed
with the promise of mercy
and the hope of all you glory.

O, i am not redeemed by corruptible things
not by silver, not by gold
and not by aimless traditions
but by the blood of God's sacred son, Jesus.
O, you are now my living hope
and my inheritance is incorruptible

O sacred son who paid the price
o may I live a grateful life
that magnifies your name, forever.
