('Tell out my soul')
********
O see the Lamb, on Him all my sins laid
For He has suffered and for me price paid
That I be free, unburdened from sin, fear
And truly sense His loving presence near
Comforts He brings, relief from guilt and shame
To all who trust Him, call upon His name
His Spirit given, our old creation done
Born to new life through Him the holy one
Not stain nor spot need hinder nor defile
Forgiveness here, we stay not condemned, vile
But appointed to eternal life we
His graces, mercies, we do know, them see
O wondrous hope of life eternally
Only through Jesus can it ever be
He welcomes all, come to Him, on Him call
You shall be saved through Him, you shall not fall
No accusation of Satan can stand
For we are blest, and in a pleasant land
Christ's blood has power, He died there in my place
He brings redemption unto every race
Let heart be free, mind set to on Christ think
He only is the way to God, the link
Then souls arise, for grace has come to you
Christ ever forms in you His image new
Where dark, downcast, shall not for ever last
For you all your burdens on Him may cast
Then light's-day dawns, of Him your risen King
Well-springs flow out, and praises to Him sing

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 10 1010 10 metre. I saw a picture of a lamb against a dark background, trussed up ready for slaughter. It seemed claustrophobic, and reminded me of Jesus' lonely suffering for all of us as the Lamb of God. Yet 'nice' meek-and-mild' pictures of lambs are lovely too. A flowing tune too, I think!

Jesus died to this world to rise victorious over death .Likewise we should die to this world and rise a Christian and serve Jesus as he served us so well . And we too will be victorious over death .
