Behold the Lamb of God

This week I have been listening to the “Behold the Lamb of God” album that Jen and Todd bought for me.  I like having something to listen to as I work-out in the afternoons.  I found the music to be very good and the lyrics to be so rich in meaning.  I’ve been thinking of the words to the song, “Deliver Us” a lot recently.  I posted some of the lyrics so you can see.  It is a reminder to me that God frees us from the bondage of sin, releases our shackles, and sets our hearts on Him.  Thanks for the music Todd and Jen!

Our enemy, our captor is no pharaoh on the Nile Our toil is neither mud nor brick nor sand Our ankles bear no calluses from chains, yet Lord, we're bound Imprisoned here, we dwell in our own land Deliver us, deliver us Oh Yahweh, hear our cry And gather us beneath your wings tonight Our sins they are more numerous than all the lambs we slay These shackles they were made with our own hands Our toil is our atonement and our freedom yours to give So Yahweh, break your silence if you can
