1. A GIFT SO OFTEN REJECTED

Forgive me for my doubts
For those way back times
Those times in which I cursed you
Before I really knew you
For through all of my life struggles
Through all of the suffering
I shall praise your holy name
And be richly rewarded

But not for simple deeds
And not for simple speech
But for my faith and love
That you’ll see me through the sorrow

And in communion with
My brothers and sisters
I long to be with you
In your divine kingdom
You redeemed me
You redeemed my brethren
Through inhuman suffering
Upon that sacred cross

It is because of you
That I may have eternal life
It is because of you
That I have an end to my strife
Words cannot describe
The love I have for you
Words cannot describe
The love you have for me
Christ my redeemer
The savior of mankind
I pray for those who reject you
I pray you give them life

Cleanse me oh Lord
Gripped by demons I long for you
Am I too far gone?
Drowned beneath the tides of sin

Atop of your kingdom
At the right hand of the father
Because of you there is hope
Because of you there is light
And many make a mockery
Of you which is all powerful and holy
Siding with the deceiver
A mere prisoner of hell

You are the truth, the way and the light

Help those poor souls who mock and curse the Son of Man
Lost children with beliefs rooted in bitterness
Plant a seed of faith as they destroy themselves
Redeem their lost souls
