Go on up to the mountain of mercy
To the crimson perpetual tide
Kneel down on the shore
Be thirsty no more
Go under and be purified
Follow Christ to the holy mountain
Sinner sorry and wrecked by the fall
Cleanse your heart and your soul
In the fountain that flowed
For you and for me and for all
At the wonderful, tragic, mysterious tree
On that beautiful scandalous night you and me
Were atoned by His blood and forever washed white
On that beautiful, scandalous night
On the hillside, you were delivered
At the foot of the cross justified
And Your spirit restored
By the river that poured
From our blessed Savior’s side
At the wonderful, tragic, mysterious tree
On that beautiful, scandalous night you and me
Were atoned by His blood and forever washed white
On that beautiful, scandalous night
To the crimson perpetual tide
Kneel down on the shore
Be thirsty no more
Go under and be purified
Follow Christ to the holy mountain
Sinner sorry and wrecked by the fall
Cleanse your heart and your soul
In the fountain that flowed
For you and for me and for all
At the wonderful, tragic, mysterious tree
On that beautiful scandalous night you and me
Were atoned by His blood and forever washed white
On that beautiful, scandalous night
On the hillside, you were delivered
At the foot of the cross justified
And Your spirit restored
By the river that poured
From our blessed Savior’s side
At the wonderful, tragic, mysterious tree
On that beautiful, scandalous night you and me
Were atoned by His blood and forever washed white
On that beautiful, scandalous night
Go on up to the mountain of mercy
To the crimson perpetual tide
Kneel down on the shore
Be thirsty no more
Go under and be purified
At the wonderful, tragic, mysterious tree
On that beautiful, scandalous night you and me
Were atoned by His blood and forever washed white
On that beautiful, scandalous night.

How scandalous.
I like how you wrote that out.
That’s too bad, I need someone’s expert analysis of the situation! Because I surely don’t get it and you’re pretty smart. See, another redeeming quality…The only quality of yours I know about that needs to be redeemed is your fervent support of the Cowboys :0)
Awesome! I like how the writer used the word “scandalous night” It gives the song the significance and highlights the fact that his death and resurrrection was scandalous and shocking! How humbling to bow yourself and submit to your creation in order to save them!Hey!! I just poked you suddenly!!!
OK, I’ll lay off the Cowboys…There is an exciting new post up now…If you truly do wish to analyze my “situation”, I would be open to it, just because wisdom is found in many counselors and I think somebody who is distant from the situation could look at it more objectively than I could or than anyone who knows the parties involved. I would feel comfortable giving you an email address…I don’t think you are a terrorist threat or a hacker or anything. But, I know you value your privacy, so I will leave that up to you for your prayerful consideration. I’ll be cool with it either way.
Huh. And here I thought that was a Sixpence song…
