God is the Redeemer of the Oppress.

 God Is the Redeemer of the Oppressed

God is the Redeemer of the oppressed.

He hears the cry that rises from the midnight of despair,

He sees the tear that falls when no one else can hear the prayer.

The One who parted waters for the captive and the bound,

Still walks among the broken, where the lost and lonely sound.

He will take pity on the weak and save the needy; he will rescue them from oppression. (Psalm 72:12-14)

He is the Redeemer of the forgotten and the poor.

The ones the world steps over, the ones it can't ignore

Because their pain is inconvenient, their need a lasting stain—

But God bends low to lift them up and break oppression's chain.

He is the Redeemer of those crushed by unjust hands.

He sees the hidden wound, the fear, the silent, shaking hands.

He promises a justice that the world cannot yet see,

A day when every wrong will be made right, eternally.

The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. (Psalm 9:9)

For He Himself was oppressed, and He Himself was afflicted.

He walked the road of suffering, by human hands constricted.

He knows the weight of false accusation, the sting of being unheard,

And because He walked through it, He can redeem with certain word.

So lift your eyes, you weary ones, whose hope has worn so thin.

The Redeemer lives! He sees you! He will fight and He will win.

No power of darkness, no oppressor's might can hold you long,

For the One who breaks the shackles is faithful, true, and strong.

This is what the Lord says—your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go." (Isaiah 48:17)

He is your Redeemer.

He will not abandon you to the oppressor's hand.

He will bring you out. He will bring you through.

He will bring you home.

Amen.
