Here in between the death and life Of broken God and risen Christ We watch and wait, we kneel and pray For hope to breathe at break of day The temple torn by sacrifice How can this be the way?
The Son of God nailed to a tree This is not how we thought it’d be Your condemnation makes no sense An act of hate and violence We broke the bread and spilled the wine How can this be the way?
Within this day of Sabbath rest- A gift to those whom you have blessed- Your peace transforms our hearts content In this already and not yet In stillness beats the drum of life How can this be the way?
Your never-ending sovereignty Still flickers with eternity It brightens fading eventide The gospel hums of mercy wide Oh Lord of Life, open Your eyes You are the only way. Lyrics and music by Brian Moss. Image derived from Golden Countenance by Makoto Fujimura.
