Emmanuel Choir - So Thou Liftest Thy Divine Petition

So Thou liftest Thy divine petition
Pierc'd with cruel anguish through and through
So Thou grievest o'er our lost condition
Pleading, Ah, they know not what they do

Oh 'twas love, in love's divinest feature
Passing o'er that dark and murd'rous blot
Finding e'en for each low fallen creature
Tho' they slay Thee, one redeeming spot

Yes! And still Thy patient heart is yearning
With a love that mortal scarce can bear
Thou in pity deep, divine, and burning
Liftest e'en for me Thy mighty prayer

So Thou pleadest, e'en for my transgression
Bidding me look up, and trust, and live
So Thou mumurest Thine intercession
Bidding me look up, and trust, and live

So Thou pleadest
Yea, he knew not
For my sake forgive
