Andrew Peterson - Remember Me lyrics
[Andrew Peterson - Remember Me lyrics]
Lord, remember me when You
Come into Your kingdom
Lord, remember me when You
Come into Your kingdom
Who can ascend the hill of the Lord?
The one who utters no untrue word
Whose hands are clean, whose heart is pure
Who can ascend that hill?
There is none righteous, no not one
We are prodigal daughters and wayward sons
We don't know the half of the hurt we've done
The countless we have killed
Our priests are cheats
Our prophets are liars
We know what the law requires
But we pile our sins up higher and higher
Who can ascend that hill?
And I am a sheep who has gone astray
I have turned aside to my own way
Have mercy on me, Son of David
Lord, remember me when You
Come into Your kingdom
Lord, remember me when You
Come into Your kingdom
Now hear the voice of the Word made man
The spotless sacrificial Lamb
"A body You gave me, here I am
I have come to do Your will"
"And no one takes my life, you see
I lay it down now willingly
And I will draw all men to me
When I ascend that hill"
On Sunday You came as a King
On Monday washed the temple clean
On Tuesday You told of what will be
On Wednesday You waited patiently
On Thursday You said it is time
I'll drink this cup 'cause it is mine
On Friday, Lord, You poured the wine
Like a thief on the cross
As He hung there dying
For crimes there were no use denying
While the righteous Judge hung
Right beside him
How could I not recognize You?
How could I not recognize You?
How could I not recognize my Lord?
My Lord
Remember me when You come into Your kingdom
Lord, remember me when You
Come into Your kingdom
Just days ago the sky was stone
The trees were standing stripped to the bone
You could hear creation groan
But, I write these words on an April day
And the earth is drinking the early rain
The hills remember green again
And we've heard this story all our lives
Still, we feel the pain of the crucified
And the end still comes as a surprise
But before the breath there in the tomb
Before our joy sprang from the womb
You saw a day that's coming soon
When the Son will stand on the mount again
With an army of angels at His command
And the earth will split like
The hull of a seed
Wherever Jesus plants His feet
And up from the earth, the dead will rise
Like spring trees clothed in petals of white
Singing the song of the radiant bride
And we will always be, always be
Always be with the Lord
We will always be, always be
Always be with the Lord
We will always (we will always be, always be)
Be with Jesus (always be with the Lord)
My Lord, remember me
(we will always be, always be)
When You come into Your kingdom
(always be with the Lord) lord, remember me
(we will always be, always be)
When You come into Your kingdom
(always be with the Lord)
Come into Your kingdom
Lord, remember me when You
Come into Your kingdom
Who can ascend the hill of the Lord?
The one who utters no untrue word
Whose hands are clean, whose heart is pure
Who can ascend that hill?
There is none righteous, no not one
We are prodigal daughters and wayward sons
We don't know the half of the hurt we've done
The countless we have killed
Our priests are cheats
Our prophets are liars
We know what the law requires
But we pile our sins up higher and higher
Who can ascend that hill?
And I am a sheep who has gone astray
I have turned aside to my own way
Have mercy on me, Son of David
Lord, remember me when You
Come into Your kingdom
Lord, remember me when You
Come into Your kingdom
Now hear the voice of the Word made man
The spotless sacrificial Lamb
"A body You gave me, here I am

"And no one takes my life, you see
I lay it down now willingly
And I will draw all men to me
When I ascend that hill"

When You come into Your kingdom
(always be with the Lord) lord, remember me
(we will always be, always be)
When You come into Your kingdom
(always be with the Lord)
