Lyrics
Verse 1
My gracious Lord and loving Father
Attend my desperate plea
What Earthly truth or mortal power
Can break the curse in me?
For I cannot bear this burden
O the weight - a grievous toll!
My broken heart in desperate longing
Unveils my fading soul
Verse 2
O Lord I fear the righteous judgement
And dread the wage of sin
I shudder at the toll it’s taken:
My pains without, within
Who can serve this sinner’s sentence?
Who can pay the ransom’s price?
But Christ alone can make amends
And bridge the dark divide
Verse 3
Yet still my thoughts are drawn to Calv’ry
Where bellowed my Saviour’s cry,
“My God! My God! Why now forsake me?”
Echoes so deep in the night
Greater still, the Lord’s surrender
In the twilight of His fate
His life He yields to God the Father
In death sins power He breaks
Verse 4
My hour has come, defeat is certain
Conceding, I count my bones
My Prayer is but a broken whisper
My song a deathly moan
Do the dead cry hallelujah?
Or the saints recount your works?
I must accept my hearts surrender
My life, my souls’ rebirth
Outro
Do the dead cry hallelujah?
Or the saints recount your works?
O Lord, accept my hearts surrender
My life, my souls’ rebirth
