lyrics

I weep softly, my tears wash over His feet
Dust & blood serving as a blood stained defeat
All hope dying, my fears now slipping away
Faith reminding my senses, 'something has changed today'

Be what He sent you to be
But never trust in me
But believe that I've seen too much to walk away
I've seen the ones who fade away
I've seen too much to walk away

Men whose hearts have grown cold are bound in their pride
Death now promised those who would seek their own lives
Three days mourning now come to silence the grave
Living prophecy as that stone rolled away, today

Be what He sent you to be, but never trust in me
But believe that I've seen too much to walk away
I've seen the ones who fade away
I've seen too much to walk away today

For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame. For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God; but if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned. But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner. For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.'

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed... ... more
