Pass me Over

Pass Me Over

The blood on the lintel and posts of the door
Painting a hope for salvation
The rushing of wings in the darkest of nights
The weeping and cries of a nation.
~
Young men and mamas with babes in their arms
Daddies clutching young sons
They stand at the table with one single prayer,
"YAHWEH! Please pass us over!"

The blood and the body, the bread and the wine
"Do this so you will remember."
The bruised, the afflicted, the striped and the torn;
A ransom securing forever
~
"LORD take this cup, if it be Your will,
But Your will alone shall be done,"
He knelt in the garden alone in His prayer
"YAHWEH! Please pass me over!"

The blood on the crossbeam, the post and the nails
Painting the world with salvation
Darkness descending, God's hand tore the veil
Redeeming the sins of the nations
~
"Father forgive them!" He cried out in prayer,
"You know that they don't understand;
I am the last Lamb whose blood must be shed."
"YAHWEH! Please pass them over!"

The blood of forgiveness, the blood of my hope
The Sinless made sin just for me.
Three days, come the morning, the stone rolled away
My Jesus is risen, I'm free!
~
"Father forgive me!" I cry out in prayer,
"I know that my sins lead to death.
But I have been bought by the blood of the Lamb."
"YAHWEH! Please pass me over!"

Happy Resurrection Day!
