Eloi Eloi

The hour is near
and sorrow overwhelms me to the point of death
Humbly i take this cup
Would they understand?
Or would they reject our love, reject our grace oh Lord
Yet not my will, but Yours be done

Betrayed, disowned,
Mocked by the ones we made to love,
Those you sent me to save
But this has taken place that Scriptures be fulfilled
This is my blood of the new covenant
That your sins may be forgiven

GRACE AMAZING, LOVE DIVINE
THE LIGHT OF LIFE NOW CRUCIFIED
BEARING EVERY SHARD OF SIN
PIERCED THAT WE MAY LIVE AGAIN

Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabachtani?
My God, why have You forsaken me?
But Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do..
