Atonement Song (Live) ft. Jimmy Knight Lyrics

Before the world began, you knew my name

You knew the words I'd speak, what I'd say

I spoke to life, the world and all within

Destined to glorify the King of Kings

And you oh God were pleased with it, were pleased with it

And you oh God walked with us, you walked with us

But we turned from our creator and our maker

Rejection of the highest order

We traded you for created things

Warping what you'd made to suit us

The blind leading the blind into nothing

And we oh God we turned away, turned away

And we oh God we broke your heart, we broke your heart

Throughout history prophets spoke, spoke of one to come

Destined to save us and lead us home

But leaders came and went and there was none no one who could save

No one to bring us back to our God

What hope was there for any of us, for any of us?

For we were too far away, too far away, too far away

Then word became flesh, the Creator descended down to what He had made

To amend the broken ties and shepherd us home

But we, O God, we hated Him, we hated Him

And we, O God, we killed your Son, we killed your Son

Then on the third, at break of dawn

The two women rose and went to the tomb

The stone rolled away, an angel appeared

He said do not be afraid my friends

For he is not here

And you oh God rose to life rose to life

And you oh God, defeated death and paid our debt

The church was born and by your blood you ransomed every tribe and tongue

Worthy are you to take the scroll

The gospel spread to the nations so that all could be brought near

So that we could be called your friends

And you oh God fulfilled your plans, fulfilled your plans

And Christ is seated high, is seated high and glorified
