Blasphemy in Pieces, Burnt Verbatim
Absent in body
But present in spirit
Crowned with honour
And the suffering of death
Not of men
Neither by man
Lower than the angels
Raised from the dead
Dashed in pieces
In the day of battle
And all thy fortresses
May be ashamed
Whether done to a nation
Or a single man
The king's word prevailed
For his mercy endureth forever
What are we accomplishing?
What are we accomplishing?
See their way and their doings
What are we accomplishing?
An atonement for our souls
Out of a pure heart
A burnt offering
The death of the testator
What are we accomplishing?
What are we accomplishing?
See their way and their doings
What are we accomplishing?
Witness against you
One hour with the beast
To find grace
Taketh away the heart
Unknown, yet well known
Dying, we live
the poor lendeth
Promised to give
For which of those
Do ye stone me?
Cast it away
Thou alone shalt bear it
Whether done to a nation
Or a single man
The king's word prevailed
For his mercy endureth forever
What are we accomplishing?
What are we accomplishing?
See their way and their doings
What are we accomplishing?
An atonement for our souls
Out of a pure heart
A burnt offering
The death of the testator
What are we accomplishing?
What are we accomplishing?
See their way and their doings
What are we accomplishing?
When he giveth quietness
Who then can make trouble?
When he hideth his face
Who then can behold him?
Whether done to a nation
Or a single man
The king's word prevailed
For his mercy endureth forever
What are we accomplishing?
What are we accomplishing?
See their way and their doings
What are we accomplishing?
An atonement for our souls
Out of a pure heart
A burnt offering
The death of the testator
What are we accomplishing?
What are we accomplishing?
See their way and their doings
What are we accomplishing?
The name of blasphemy
Be not afraid
The death of the testator
The king's word prevailed
