El Roi: Redeemer, Saviour, Friend

The Israelites secretly did things against the Lord their God that were not right. 2 Kings 17:9

And so do I.

You are El Roi, the God who sees, the God who knows all things. How can we hide from You?

They did wicked things that provoked the Lord to anger. 2 Kings 17:11
So the Lord was very angry with Israel and removed them from His presence... 2 Kings 17:18

You are the Holy One, the God who "art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity" Habakkuk 1:13 KJV

So I pray, with the words of King David: "Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me." Psalm 51: 11,12

And I will sing this song:

I know You had me on your mind
When You climbed up on that hill
For You saw me with eternal eyes
While I was yet in sin
Redeemer Savior Friend

VERSE 2:
Every stripe upon Your battered back
Every thorn that pierced Your brow
Every nail drove deep through guiltless hands
Said that Your love knows no end
Redeemer Savior Friend

CHORUS:
Redeemer, redeem my heart again
Savior, come and shelter me from sin
You're familiar with my weakness
Devoted to the end
Redeemer Savior Friend

VERSE 3:
So the grace you poured out on my life
Will return to You in praise
I'll gladly lay down all my crowns
For the name by which I'm saved
Redeemer Savior Friend
