Hail the perfect Lamb of GodSunday is coming.
A kingly ransom paid
When You, my Lord, were slain
Love unrivaled here displayed
Calls my heart to praise
The perfect Lamb of God
The light of day was cloaked by night
And heaven closed its eyes
Wrath unspared for countless sins
The guiltless crucified
Hands of kindness driven through
Back on splintered beam
The holy curtain torn in two
Atonement made for me
Insults mock the Son of God
The angels are restrained
But all the cup must be endured
For sinners to be saved
Can grace prevail in such a day
Of scandal and of scorn?
But with a cry “Forgive” You claim
Traitors as Your own
As You drew Your final breath
My debt was satisfied
And love divine in glorious might
Would vanquish death and rise
-Perfect Lamb of God by Sovereign Grace
The Puritan identity. On a journey to a better country (Hebrews 11:16), going further up and further in to the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God (Romans 11:33) by laboring to delight in the law of the LORD and meditate on it day and night (Psalm 1:2) while the war and conflict relentlessly rage on until Christ comes (Romans 7:22-25) or calls me home.

I listened to this song here for the first time on Friday. I loved it so much, I had to play it for my mom, and she dearly loved it as well. I'll be listening to it again, multiple times, I'm sure. Thanks for sharing it.
