Wearing our sin
drinking that cup
submitting to God
giving his life
The glowing bodies
pure, light
stripped of his robe
wearing our stain
Cloaked in shame
going to the cross
dying that we may live
paying our price, our cost

===============
To God’s Will
Christ, Love
God come to earth
the son, a man
submitting to God’s will
living out the father’s plan
Good, walking in the world
washing away our sin
the cup to his lips
bitter fruit of human hearts
the pure lamb
weighed down
the yoke, the cross
a crown of thorns
the cloak of our shame
humiliated for our sake
setting us from sin
walking according to God’s will
