Easter Entheates* (*Inspirings)

Tune: Crucifer

('Lift high the cross')

********

Chorus

From death to life, dawns resurrection morn

We His sons [and daughters], to eternal life new-born

 

Jesus, you whose head was thorn-scorned for me

Take my head today and do think through me - Chorus

 

You whose arms the cross-load did bare for me

Take my arms today and embrace through me - Chorus

 

You whose hands were outstretched, nail-scarred for me

Take my hands today and do serve through me - Chorus

 

You whose legs on cross-weight did stand for me

Take my legs today and do walk through me - Chorus

 

You whose feet were injured,nail-torn for me

Take my feet, and guide in you way through me - Chorus

 

You whose body, cut, bruised, and bled for me

Take my body today and do live through me - Chorus

 

You whose heart was spear-pained, spear-pierced for me

Take my heart today, and do love through me - Chorus

 

Your life laid down, given up all for me

Take my life, and fill with your Spirit free - Chorus

    'Christ has no feet for ours; Christ has no hands but ours, etc...'
    True in one sense, and yet could be arrogant in another sense.
    Christ does not HAVE to need us. He can do everything perfectly well without any of us, but chooses to work through us thankfully.

        Thanks Laura. The full hymn in the clip has 12 verses. Phew!

      • Laura🌻

        Yes, I did listen to the clip!😊

        • orchidee

          Thanks Laura. They've done 4 verses plus the chorus each time in the clip. If they did the whole thing (12 verses) it would be 3 times as long!

          • Laura🌻

            Wow!😲
