[T]o him who struck down the firstborn of Egypt, for his steadfast love endures forever; and brought Israel out from among them, for his steadfast love endures forever; with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, for his steadfast love endures forever; to him who divided the Red Sea in two, for his steadfast love endures forever; and made Israel pass through the midst of it, for his steadfast love endures forever; but overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red Sea, for his steadfast love endures forever; to him who led his people through the wilderness, for his steadfast love endures forever; to him who struck down great kings, for his steadfast love endures forever; and killed mighty kings, for his steadfast love endures forever; Sihon, king of the Amorites, for his steadfast love endures forever; and Og, king of Bashan, for his steadfast love endures forever; and gave their land as a heritage, for his steadfast love endures forever; a heritage to Israel his servant, for his steadfast love endures forever.
You, the LORD God Almighty, determined that You would redeem Your creation, that You would “buy it back” without regard to the cost. You sent Your Son, the Word, to become flesh and live among us, and then to become the Perfect Sacrifice for our sin. You elevated Him to Your right hand to rule over all things and to draw Your chosen into Your Kingdom. Praise You, the LORD God Almighty.
