The Holy Cross Redeemeth My Soul Forevermore

The Holy Cross Redeemeth My Soul Forevermore


Your everlasting door
Is of ever old
My broken vessel you died for
Your jealous wrath is rather bold 
Your breath giveth life
Before honor is humility 
For your word is pure ,without strife 
For the flesh is weak and bound to fragility 
Your word is a double edged sword
False lips shall not go unpunished 
Your mercy is without bound , Lord
A mere lamb to the  slaughter, I’ve been changed,demolished
One of greed
Broken spirited and quick to anger
Sought the spoils of my deed
Bone and flesh,  he seeks forth grander
Death shall be his doom
He’s fallen to mischief and deceit 
Forever trapped in that burning room
Broken without remedy , boastful of conceit 
My faith shall be restored 
Of God’s never ending love
Of a faith I can’t afford 
Peace shall surely come thereof 
Forgive me in the name of Jesus 
My blemishes are wounds unresolved  
I’m at a state of grievous
My faith is weakened in concentration, nearly dissolved
I need you now more than ever before
My heart is in calamity and disarray 
I will seek your kingdom forevermore 
My heart’s been out on display 
And gnashed by a human beast
Shredded  into pieces and pulled apart
A man is likened to a priest 
A false prophet of the devil stole my heart
Ran with it and laughed  
He is wicked and plays tricks
He claims to practice the dark craft
All in all my heart harden as bricks 
Lord of all lords,
Bring peace after such catastrophe 
I long for joy at the end of the tunnel
I wish for nothing but you
Cleanse and filter me through your funnel
You are great in all you do
Let me see you in all your truth 
Do all you promise you would 
Give me a little more proof
Reassure me that it’ll work out for the good
I will praise thee for as long as I live
I repeant of my sins
And I shall surely forgive 
And count my wins
