Sin separates the people from God, resulting in injustice and brokenness. God sees that no one can intervene, so He acts Himself to bring salvation and justice.
God promises redemption to those who turn from transgression.
Christ is the divine Redeemer who intervenes where humanity cannot, bringing salvation through righteousness.
Isaiah 59 — “The Redeemer Will Come
Song Lyrics (Clear + Weighty)
Verse 1
The arm of the Lord is not too short,
Nor is His ear too weak to hear.
But sin has built a wall between,
Our guilt has closed what once was clear.
Hands stained with wrong, lips shaped by lies,
Feet run quick where violence lies.
Truth has fallen in the street,
Justice stumbles, can’t compete.
Chorus
Our sin has made the distance wide,
We grope for light, but walk in night.
We hope for justice, wait for peace—
But none arrives, no help released.
Truth has fallen, hope feels gone—
Till God Himself steps in as One.
Verse 2
No one pleads the cause of right,
No one stands to name the truth.
They trust in lies and speak deceit,
Conceive destruction from their youth.
We confess—our sins are known,
Our guilt before You stands alone.
We deny, we turn away,
Justice waits, but truth delays.
Chorus
Our sin has made the distance wide,
We grope for light, but walk in night.
We hope for justice, wait for peace—
But none arrives, no help released.
Truth has fallen, hope feels gone—
Till God Himself steps in as One.
Bridge
The Lord saw there was no one there,
No intercessor standing fair.
So His own arm achieved the fight,
His righteousness became His might.
He dressed in zeal, put justice on,
A helmet bright, a righteous song.
He comes to repay, set things right—
A warrior clothed in holy light.
Final Chorus
A Redeemer comes to Zion’s gate,
To those who turn, who humbly wait.
From west to east His name is feared,
When floods arise, His Spirit’s near.
The Lord has spoken—this is true:
My covenant will stand with you.
Outro
When none could save…
The Lord arose.
