Now may the God of peace who raised from the dead
The great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of a covenant
That’ll never stop, that will not cease, that endures to eternity.
Glory to the living priest who ever lives to intercede.
May this God give you everything you need
To endure to the end and His promises receive.
May he grant you the faith to believe
What the Son has said to us.
And when the road’s grown especially hard
And you feel like your soul and your body are scarred
By the aches and pains of faith, may the Lord give you strength
To endure, to endure!
Jesus is the center of the story of the days,
He’s the true light of the glory, not the shadow or the shade,
Seated with the Father, honored, offered up to save.
He is worthy, He is worthy of praise
He is better, Christ is better,
He is better, Christ is better,
He is better, Christ is better than the…
…angels, He is better than the prophets,
He is better than Moses, He is better than them all.
He is better than the Levites, He is better than the offerings they make
And they prayers that they pray, He is the new and better way,
He is the new and better way!
Amen.

So why did Jesus come to earth? I hope it’s clearly seen.
To be appointed as a high priest and to die as an offering.
O come on all you saints and give the Savior love,
Born a babe and now he reigns before the throne of God above.
Before the throne of God above
I have a strong, a perfect plea;
A great High Priest, whose name is Love,
Who ever lives and pleads for me.
My name is graven on his hands,
My name is written on his heart;
I know that while in heaven he stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart.
When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within,
Upward I look, and see him there
Who made an end of all my sin.
Because the sinless Savior died,
My sinful soul is counted free;
For God the Just is satisfied
To look on him and pardon me.
Behold him there! the risen Lamb,
My perfect, spotless righteousness;
The great unchangeable "I AM,"
The King of glory and of grace!
One with himself, I cannot die,
My soul is purchased by his blood;
My life is hid with Christ on high,
With Christ my Savior and my God.

it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption janmisha
