lyrics

"This Is Our God"
(Eric Damewood)

o Christ what burdens bowed Thy head
our load was laid on Thee
Thou stoodest in the sinners’ stead
didst bear all ill for me
a victim led
Thy blood was shed
now there’s no load for me

death and the curse were in our cup
o Christ ‘twas full for Thee
but Thou hast drained the last dark drop
‘tis empty now for me
that bitter cup
Love drank it up
now blessing’s draught for me
now blessing’s draught for me

this is our God
this is our God
giving us life
in Him made whole
He is our hope
He is our hope
healing our hearts
Jesus Christ the Lord

the tempest’s awful voice was heard
o Christ, it broke on Thee
Thy open bosom was my ward
it braved the storm for me
Thy form was scarred
Thy visage marred
now cloudless peace for me
now cloudless peace for me

all majesty and glory be
to You now and forever

Jehovah bade His sword awake
o Christ it wok ‘gainst Thee
Thy blood the flaming blade must slake
Thine heart its sheath must be
all for my sake
my peace to make
now sleeps that sword for me
now sleeps that sword for me
