A Debt We Cannot Pay

Lyrics If we look at the past Then glance at the present We peak also a future Of a debt we cannot pay Listen as Luke then tells us Jesus set His Face to Jerusalem Our Lord knowing what fate would await Yet His Eyes & Face then beheld us How and why is this at such cost? How could such a deal be struck Our sins persist, are rinsed and return Only a Creator can save creation [pre-Chorus] What did my Saviour do for me Set His gaze upon Jerusalem Knowing Full well what will be And Split that curtain for our way Home [chorus] It’s That sign of contradiction Horizontal bar of Life on earth And vertical bar of Life Beyond That cross endured for all forever Only intervention itself could intrude To stop this tumbling ball of fire Bounding down this steep dark slope But what are we doing in this hand basket? [pre-Chorus] How and why is this at such cost? How could such a deal be struck Our sins persist, are rinsed and return Only a Creator can save creation [chorus] It’s That sign of contradiction Horizontal bar of Life on earth And vertical bar of Life Beyond That cross endured for all forever Yeah, It’s something to see, to behold and believe But an explanation is nowhere to be found So we put on our boots and get ready for battle Embroiled in a war not here to be seen There are times when we just can’t reach So our cries then go out to our Lord To pierce the veil and reach down To clench and comfort a troubled heart So for the Last Time Jesus then Sets His gaze To Jerusalem Our Lord knowing the fate that awaits Yet setting His Eyes & Face upon us [pre-chorus] How and why is this at such cost? How could such a deal be struck Our sins persist, are rinsed and return Only a Creator can save creation [chorus] It’s That sign of contradiction Horizontal bar of Life on earth And vertical bar of Life Beyond That cross endured for all forever Amen
