"After the Rooster Crows"

“After the Rooster Crows”

Luke 24:12

God, I have failed you, rejected and veiled your power

I have turned my head and heart away from your love

God, my lack of faith has nailed you to the cross

I have seen my brothers run away

Even though you could stop this pain you stay

And you say,

“Father forgive them… Father forgive them… Father forgive them…

For they know not what they do.”

God, I seek your face still… I’m searching for your will and for your power

Help me turn my head and heart to your love

God, let your love fill me with faith to see the cross

Please let me see your people run with you

Even though you are creator you stay in my view

And you say,

“You are forgiven… you are forgiven… you are forgiven…

In me you’re clean in all you do.”

God, I love you, thank you and praise you for giving me your power

You fill my head and heart with your love

God, you’ve given me faith to see the love you gave at the cross

You fill my heart with dancing, and I run with you

Because you took my pain I have clear view

And you say,

“I have forgiven you… I have forgiven you… I have forgiven you…

come celebrate life with me.”
