"Saved" - Bob Dylan 1980

A quote inside the sleevenotes reads, "'Behold, the days come, says the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah' (Jeremiah 31:31)"



I was blinded by the devil
Born already ruined
Stone-cold dead
As I stepped out of the womb
By His grace I have been touched   Rom 5:20

By His word I have been healed   Luk 7:7

By His hand I've been delivered   Luk 1:74

By His spirit I've been sealed.   Eph 1:13


I've been saved
By the blood of the lamb
Saved
By the blood of the lamb
Saved
Saved
And I'm so glad
Yes, I'm so glad
I'm so glad
So glad
I want to thank you, Lord
I just want to thank You Lord
Thank You Lord.
 
By his truth I can be upright
By his strength I do endure
By His power I've been lifted
In His love I am secure
For he bought me with a price
Freed me from the pit
Full of emptiness and wrath
And the fire that burns in it.
 
I've been saved
By the blood of the lamb
Saved
By the blood of the lamb
Saved
Saved
And I'm so glad
Yes, I'm so glad
I'm so glad
So glad
I want to thank you, Lord
I just want to thank You Lord
Thank You, Lord.

Nobody to rescue me
Nobody would dare
I was going down for the last time
By His Mercy I've been spared
Not by works
But by faith in Him who called
For so long I've been hindered
For so long I've been stalled.
 
I've been saved
By the blood of the lamb
Saved
By the blood of the lamb
Saved
Saved
And I'm so glad
Yes, I'm so glad
I'm so glad
So glad
I want to thank you, Lord
I just want to thank You Lord
Thank You, Lord.
