Your Way
The story of the cross told through vivid narrative, criminals' chains, a governor's wife, a vassal king, and a lamb led to slaughter. Your Way is about the ultimate act of forgiveness and the doorway it opened.
Written and performed by The Embassy Project. From the album Sealed (2016).
Lyrics
Just spent the night in criminals' chains
You were destined to take on the blame
And pious men put you in the frame
You didn't even put up a fight
Defended by a governor's wife
Vassal king hung you out to dry
And like a lamb to the sacrifice
The word made flesh was slain
You made the good confession
Forgiveness was your sole obsession
Displaying only love
We raise your name above all others
Your way, Yahweh
You opened wide Heaven's doorway
Your Son took up my guilt
To pay the ransom I owe
Your way, Yahweh
We run awry when we try the lower way
There's just not a way that
We can make it on our own
You knew exactly what to do
A dozen friends deserted you
The guy in charge denied the truth
Your Father hid his face
Standing high upon a hill
As you bled, they mocked you still
Couldn't see it was your will
You triumphed there that day
You made the good confession
Forgiveness was your sole obsession
Displaying only love
We raise your name above all others
Your way, Yahweh
You opened wide Heaven's doorway
Your Son took up my guilt
To pay the ransom I owe
Your way, Yahweh
We run awry when we try the lower way
There's just not a way that
We can make it on our own
