Our Lord redeems

 

 

O Father dear I oftimes hear you speak of evils rile

Her jealousy, her selfish greed, her sinners rude and wild

You have placed us in this land where the prince of dark does dwell.

Then why have you forsaken us, oh the reason to me tell.

 

Adam and Eve, they lived in peace with their own paradise

Until the time they ate the fruit which began this wicked vice

The devil and sin set right in, I saw their evil scheme

And that\'s the Holy reason why my Son came to redeem

 

And yes I do remember my son\'s own awful pain

The devil and his reprobates were certain sure to gain

They cut down my own children with their cursed demon team

And that\'s the Holy reason why my Son came to redeem.

 

My chosen people, bless their souls forsook my Holy laws

And replaced them with their doctrines of separated human clause

They don\'t repent, but go there way with traditions they all do deem

And thats the Holy reason why my Son came to redeem

 

My Son endured all your taunts and hung there on a cross

Some of you kissed his wounds that has paid for all your cost

The Lamb was slain and paid your price and let out a voiceless scream

And that\'s the Holy reason why my Son came to redeem.

 

Oh father dear, the day will come when all men will swear

And the actions of your Holy Son will be raised up in our prayers

I will one day come to your Heaven where the Holy Lamb does gleam

And loud and high we\'ll raise the cry for \'Our lord redeems!\'
