The Christ Epic - Repaid

The beginning, the void
The darkness before it all began
Before time, before the clock
Started to wind its hands
The beginning, the void
The darkness before time began

All the stones stood still
Mountains stood on their toes
The ponds pondered darling stars
As the starlings flew in droves

The new paws clawed the earth
Then ev'ry eye was turned
God himself was on his knees
Forming mankind in the dirt

Spark and breath, image leapt
Into vessels fragile, meek
Those who built and grew, created and sewed
The world in their keep

Tree of knowledge bright
Serpent words like knives
Greedy minds that fell
Hands that reach... rebel!

Death for our sins
Debt repaid in full
Laid down
For the world to be restored

It's easier, I know
To burn all the bridges down
To sound out shallow waters
To wear a smaller crown

Down, down till you reach the
Ground, ground, ground where
You will not be
Found, found, found until you turn around

Because it's
So much better to follow than
Live life hollow. You must go
To your knees and there repent

Toil and pain the curse
We lost the point of work
Burden born, shoes so worn
Hope was lost. in the dirt

He was Word of God, Bane of sin
Sent to gain the world back
Although it didn't know him
He was savior that it lacked

Come and fol-low me
Turn from sin and see
The way, the truth, the life
Walk with me in light

Make him king by force
He drinks with thieves and drunks
Blasphemes Lord, our God
Hang him on the cross!

Death to death
The Grace has left
An empty jail cell
Nevermore through the end of time
Needs man to die again

Stand
Shake off the dirt
Drink in the sun
Sing to the Lord

Jesus Christ
The living hope
The perfect sacrifice

God is love
He rejoices in our joy
He mourns with our sorrow
To serve Him is to love and obey Him
He is good
