There was no other way for me,
To redeem my children lost.
The means of which to do this feat,
Was sending you my Son…
Down I sent him to your midst,
An infant first, the Son of Man;
He walked among you with my love,
With him I was so pleased…

But as he showed you who I AM,
Through miracles and wisdom deep,
Your hearts of stone sang hatred bold;
Redemption was at hand!

I gave him over to your plot,
Fulfilling all I said I would.
You beat and mocked him, laughed and spat;
My Lamb—you slaughter him!
But through his blood spilled in your stead,
The path to cleanse your sin is him,
From death to life, again; he lives!
This plea I bid to all…

Turn, repent and dwell with me…
My Son's gift…is for you.

And as new hearts each day are wed
Unto me—our spirits one—
With leaps and bounds my yearning grows
To take you home my bride.

Edit 1/17/12: Added a last stanza as it needed it, but the recording I have posted on You Tube isn't with the last 4 lines...I'll have to see about updating that, pronto.

Just another song I wrote this last Sabbath in a moment of sudden inspiration. It's to the same melody as the "Judgement Tree Lamentation" as this too is kind of a lament...sort of.
