the death of Christ – v2

the Savior, the Lamb

taking of that cup

drinking of our sentence

tasting our death

perfect through suffering

accepting this sentence, this fate

Christ rising victorious

up from the grave

the Savior, the lamb

climbing that altar

tasting death for us

that we may live again

bound, flesh to flesh – v6

we are one flesh together

consummated by God

in the union of our lives.

we are wound tightly, woven

into one being, united under

God’s law, God’s wish

that we are bound.

we are bound, flesh to flesh,

husband and wife;

what God has joined

let none rip apart.

shunned evil – v2

He didn’t stray

to the left or the right

He shunned evil

cast from his sight

He was upright

blameless before God

righteous, innocent

within his trials

Only by the hand of God – v2

a word about how we know

God is with us

a hand upon our back

in our time of struggle

an image of Grammy

frozen in her chair

knowing only God’s hand

raised her from that seat

when the pastor called her forward

to kneel at the coffin

to say goodbye to her youngest

to let her go to heaven

the death of Christ

the Savior, the lamb
of that cup
drinking of our sentence
tasting our death

perfect through suffering
this sentence, this fate
Christ rising victorious
up into heaven

the Savior, the lamb
of that altar
tasting death for us
that we may live

raised from the pit
claimed by the Savior
becoming his kin
