Since we came to know you, Lord

Since we came to know you, Lord
Our sin’s far clearer than before
When we look upon that cross
We realise just what it cost

So we thank you God
That Jesus came to save the lost
The patience that you showed
To people lost in lies
The mercy overflows
To mean we’ll never die

We did not know you, Lord
We turned from you time and again
Walking as we thought was best
We left a trail of hurt and pain

chorus

Now to him who reigns on high
Go all the praise and glory due
To the one who cried in love
‘Forgive! They know not what they do’

Our King

Our King is a king of mercy
He gave the blind their sight and the dumb their speech
He healed the sick and raised the dead
Our King is a king of mercy.

Even though our memories may fail us
May we always remember this:
We are great sinners
But we have a great Saviour in Christ.

Our King is a king of cruel scars
He was beaten, stricken, whipped and condemned to die
Though he had done no wrong at all -
Our King is a king of cruel scars.

Even though our memories may fail us
May we always remember this:
We are great sinners
But we have a great Saviour in Christ.

Our King is a king of passion
‘It is finished!’ he cried out and gave up his life
So we could be his family:
Our King is a king of passion.

Even though our memories may fail us
May we always remember this:
We are great sinners
But we have a great Saviour in Christ.

Our King is a king of glory
Even death could not keep hold of this king of life
He rose triumphant from the grave
Our King is a king of glory.

Even though our memories may fail us
May we always remember this:
We are great sinners
But we have a great Saviour in Christ.
Even though…
