some songs

With Good Friday a few days away, here are a couple of songs/poems I wrote a while ago about remembering the cross and Jesus. They're still rough cuts, but here they are anyway.

Remind Us

Shame and sickness laid in your hands
You embodied the perfect man
Into the darkness you came and gave light
Your glory revealed even in the darkest night

[refrain]
Jesus, remind us of the cross
Jesus, remind us we were bought
No man can boast of what he has done
Compared to the majesty of the son

Yours is the treasure the world's search
All we have for a touch of your robe
Like a father after his son
You open your arms until we are one

The last shall be first, the first shall be last
Wipe away the wrongs of our past
The poor in spirit you shall receive
Come Holy spirit, come set us free


Once and for all

[refrain]
The time is coming
The time is now
When all men will return
The king is coming
The king is here
Come and make us known
(once and for all)

Once and for all you came on the altar
The perfect lamb to make us clean
You did not enter by the blood any other
But laid your life to set us free

Once and for all death shall be no longer
Salvation is here we don’t deserve
You’ve always sought every woman, child and brother
How much more are we to serve?

Here's a 'lil something extra:
