Oh God Our Father, We Need Your Help

Verse 1

A path of my choosing, the way of the lost I have gone

Not caring or weeping, I turned from Your love and went on

I longed to be broken, I ran into darkness and died

Oh Father of Love, is there mercy for we who defy?

 

Chorus

Oh God, our father, we need Your help

Oh Abba, we cannot help ourselves

So we lay down our hearts, we lift up our cry

We come to You, we will not hide

Oh God, our Father, we need Your help

Verse 2

I took what You gave me and ran to a land without You

In a moment it faded, it withered, and away it blew

I wept for my loss, in darkness I groaned of my pain

But Father, no tear did I shed for cursing Your name

 

Verse 3

Faithful forever, how can it be You call me dear?

In the love of the Father, can the wretched or lonely yet fear?

You sent us a Brother, He blessed us with all that's in heaven

A robe now for rebels, oh Father of Love I am running

O Praise The Name (Anástasis)

Verse 1
I cast my mind to Calvary
Where Jesus bled and died for me
I see His wounds His hands His feet
My Saviour on that cursed tree

Verse 2
His body bound and drenched in tears
They laid Him down in Joseph's tomb
The entrance sealed by heavy stone
Messiah still and all alone

Chorus
O praise the Name of the Lord our God
O praise His Name forevermore
For endless days we will sing Your praise
Oh Lord oh Lord our God

Verse 3
Then on the third at break of dawn
The Son of heaven rose again
O trampled death where is your sting
The angels roar for Christ the King

Verse 4
He shall return in robes of white
The blazing sun shall pierce the night
And I will rise among the saints
My gaze transfixed on Jesus' face
