Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Conquered by my sin and shame
You found me lost and wandering
You gave your one and only son
To bear the weight of sin in love
Redemtion made for everyone.
And we find our life within your light
Your love has made us free
For all eternity
In your mercy by your grace
You came in flesh and took my place
To keep my life in your embrace
Brought from death and into life
You raise me up and gave me sight
To walk with hope all through the night
And we find our life within your light
Your love has made us free
So we will dance and sing of the hope you bring
For all eternity
You rescued me, you rescued me
And brought me into life
Your victory has set me free
And forever in your light
You rescued me, you rescued me
And brought me into life
We dance and sing
To he who brings salvation and new life
And we find our life within your light
Your love has made us free
So we will dance and sing of the hope you bring
For all eternity
You rescued me you rescued me
And brought me into life
We dance and sing to he who brigs

The crew of the Tilly Mint.
Your youtube account of the rescue of the Coombes family from the Atlantic is truly awe inspiring. I have sailed all my life and had a few “moments” myself in the southern ocean, were life could have been lost, but nothing like this. And you had the added pressure of small children to rescue and protect.
I am staggered by your professionalism, your courage and your pragmatic level headed approach to the rescue. In a world that in recent months has become more and more febrile and polarised - you give us all hope for your generation.
You are all hero’s in my book - not necessarily for the rescue, even though that was extraordinary, but for the way you dealt with the rescue. You stepped back, took a breath, discussed, and solved problems under mounting pressure and stress, knowing that this is not a percentage game. In these situations you either succeed or fail with tragic consequences. There is no middle ground. Just knowing that, is a responsibility that few can rise to.
You proved to cyclical older people like myself, that there are, in your generation people who have courage, commitment, grace, understatement, humanity and common sense. It gives me hope for our future.
You are a credit to us all as human beings. And after the rescue, your ongoing compassion and dedication to try and make it right for this family is a testament to your strength of character and commitment to your fellow man. I am personally humbled by your empathy and courage.
With utmost respect.

Nicely treated! This story is compelling and gripping. I've been in television journalism all of my 40 plus year career and seldom have I found unscripted reality stories documented any better and told with such care and compassion. Putting the camera aside during the climactic moments of the rescue to render assistance is a testament of responsible ethics of a concerned human being rather than a sensationalizing reporter bent on documenting human suffering and carnage. You covered the gap in video with the most tasteful soundbite narratives that let us know what we needed to know and allowed our minds to picture it. This is one story that needs to be preserved for many more to see.

Exactly! You have expressed my every thought regarding the story and the video. Thanks for capturing what I was stumbling to say.
