Overcast

Atop a hill 
            outside a town, 
            a haven like none else 
            is found 

            beneath a crooked tree 
            an ancient bastion, 
            a shadow cast 
            on Mount Zion: 

           'twas my guilt; 
           a price was to be paid, 
           along with every sin 
           upon his head was laid 

            on the Cross 
            the pure reflected light 
            shone luminously 
            lily-white 

            sin forgiven 
            by his love 
            set free 
            Noah's dove:

        In Christ rejoice
to the Saviour, sing and pray,
honour Greatest Love by choice -
give the Lord your life today!
