i think bethany dillon’s most recent album is beautiful. this has been my go-to music for the season of lent, and especially as Easter is here and i reflect on the suffering of Christ…

Day turned to night
You breathed your last
Blood flowed from Your side
All of God in a young man
Who gave away His life

You loved me
When I was Your enemy
And You chose me
When I didn’t believe

You drank the cup that was all filled up
With my punishment and shame
From the garden to the empty tomb
The way I come to You forever changed

A crushing burden on our backs
The words hang in the air
“His blood be on us and our children”
Still, You forgave us there

Jesus, perfect through suffering
Jesus, our merciful High Priest
The weakness of God is mighty
And the foolishness of His love has saved me
