"The Son" by grasssnake

[grasssnake]

I had a dream the other night
My tranquil sleep from me took flight
I dreamt my lord had become a man
To teach redemption to a hateful band
They knew his father this band proclaimed
They knew his will, they knew his name
This God-man they so cruelly accused
He doubted their wisdom
He doubted men's rules
He vexed their souls with talk of sin
He talked of a kingdom
God's peace with men
The humble listened quiet and still
The proud plotted evil and desired to kill
They accused and they lied but could not agree
They said, "Kill the king set Barabbas free"
He went as a lamb to the slaughter meek
King of the Jews the sign said in Greek
Can he save himself as others he did?
Said the rulers with hopes of Him soon to be rid.
I must say, it does my heart nothing but good
To know that for me in sin's place that he stood
He took the blows for my sins piled up high
He paid the price my redemption to buy
Could I breath could I think if it weren't for his grace
He built mansions on high and for me there's a place
All the mysteries all the questions will not matter up there
We'll praise Him and love him with eons to spare.
