Eli, Eli, Le Ma Sa Bach Tha Ni
Listen to poem:
Eden became a place of trespassing and disobedience
Love, however, never departed the Garden of Eden
I, The Everlasting God, have always had a plan
Eden became a place of trespassing and disobedience
Love, however, never departed the Garden of Eden
I, The Everlasting God, have always had a plan
Let all the world know that I love them
Everyone who believes shall be saved
My love is everlasting and measureless
All people are precious in my sight
Salvation was purchased by Christ's blood
Absolutely no one who truly believes is rejected
Believers have peace with God through Christ
At the cross is the place of the great triumph
Christ alone takes away the sins of the world
Hell itself was defeated by Christ on the cross
Tell the 'Good News' to everyone, everywhere
Heaven is a real place; not a dream or fairy tale
Access to God is obtained through Christ alone
Nothing shall separate us from the love of God
I will never leave you, nor ever forsake you

Note: "E'li, E'li, le.ma sa.bach'tha.ni?" that is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Matt. 27:46 NRSV
