Agnus Dei
Folder:
Three Chapters of Eternity My mortal body has fallen away,
As the last rites are read
On this earth I cannot stay
For I am truly dead
And suddenly, a voice cries out
I am Defendent in court
The verdict is announced with a final shout
"Guilty of sin against the lord!"
"Blasphemer!" The jury cries
"Adulterer, and guilty of lies"
But in the book of life, my name they could locate
Because I had an advocate
"My blood has paid the price of his sin,
And guilty as though he may be
I died on the cross and cleansed from within
So that he shall be set free."
Agnus Dei, lamb of God
Broke the chains in which I trod
Damnation on that day defied
My spirit has been sanctified
The gates of heaven flooded apart
A new body and spirit, and a fresh start
And the joy I felt in my new home
Was greater than ever known
