Arise my soul, arise


Shake off thy guilty fears


The bleeding sacrifice


On thy behalf appears


Before the throne thy surety stands


Before the throne thy surety stands


My name is written on His hands!


 


My bleeding wounds He bears


Received on Calvary


They pour effectual prayers


They strongly plead for me


“Forgive him, oh! forgive,” they cry


“Forgive him, oh! forgive,” they cry


Don’t let that ransomed sinner die!


 


My God is reconciled


His pardoning voice I hear


He owns me as His child


I shall now longer fear


With confidence I now draw nigh


With confidence I now draw nigh


And “Father, Abba, Father!” cry…


 


 


 


That song is not the same to me after the play that Stacy and Michelle wrote.  I keep thinking of how Prince Liam and the princess were pleading for the king, and how the mark of the traitors had been branded on the Prince’s hand.  *goosebumps*  I’m glad we sang that last night. 


 


And, Jonathan, thanks for playing “Israel is My Vineyard.”  That was a great ending.
