Death That Bought Life



"My God, why have you forsaken me?"
"Thorns my crown, my sorrows a sea."
"Nails through bone, forgive them, I plead!"
"Your will is done, the captives are freed!"

"Laid now in a tomb, the ground so cold."
"My lifeless flesh, Has death a hold?"
“Your will is done, I rise from death!”
"I AM Your Son, giving life its breath!”

"The Father and I grant life to you."
"Come now, take hold. By faith, it's true!"
"Don't die. Repent! My life is yours!"
"My blood on you. It heals and cures!"

"Your sins be gone, cast east to west."
"My burden light, come now and rest!"
"Take joy and peace, my favor too."
"My love, cross time, it comes to you!"

Like 23:34 Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.
