We deserve death


We have earned death
estranged forever from God
the pit, Hell, no future, no hope
we deserve death
no forgiveness, redemption
among the lost, all humanity

We cannot buy love
God’s forgiveness beyond our reach
cast out of the kingdom
condemned by the law

Only through Christ’s mercy
his life on the cross
forgiven, rising
we praise your name
