For mistakes we can’t forget

FOR MISTAKES WE CAN’T FORGET
and the sins that still beset,
we have a Lamb,
we have a Lamb.
For our fraught and anxious realm,
for the fears that overwhelm,
we have a throne,
we have a throne.

We sing worthy, worthy is the Lamb
who was slain for the world—
royal arms unfurled.
We sing glory, glory to the Christ:
your cross our fountain of life.

2. For our lost and lonely hearts,
for our gnarled and tangled paths,
we have a Shepherd,
we have a Shepherd.
For our dry and listless souls
and our thirst for being whole,
we have a stream,
we have a stream.

We sing worthy, worthy is the Lamb…

3. For regret and ravaged years,
for all sweet and bitter tears,
we have a Father,
we have a Father.
For our treks through burning sands
to our home in promised lands,
this hope till all is done:
our God, the Three-in-One.

We sing worthy, worthy is the Lamb…
