“The ransomed of the Lord shall be redeemed and come home singing! And everlasting joy shall be upon their heads. Joy and gladness shall overcome them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.”
What an amazing promise: to be overwhelmed, not by sighs and sorrows, but overcome with gladness and joy!
We had been held hostage, Lord, but You paid our ransom. You redeemed us from fear and the need to mourn our own deaths.
Thank You for giving us cause to sing for joy! Praise You for bringing us home to You.
