Son
Between two gates, waiting for good news
Then they came, two runners in pursuit
They told me that the enemy was gone
But what of my son, Absalom?
The runners said, "Good news, my lord, my king!"
The men proclaimed, "We have the victory!"
Then they spoke, "Peace is here today!"
But Absalom, is he okay?
"No," they said, "his life was slain"
My child, dead, pierced on a tree
With tear streaked eyes and covered face
Heartsick and grieved, I cried
My son, my son
My God, I would have died for thee!
My son, oh Absalom
Between two thieves, hangs the King of the Jews
He said "Lord, forgive them. They know not what they do."
He bore all sins, all grief and all pain
In a cursed tree, my Lord was slain
The earth it shook and the veil was torn
And the dead, now with life, reborn
The soldiers cried, now terrified, said
"This is the Son of God!"
His Son, His Son
My God, His Son has died for me
His Son, the Lamb of God
Three days passed, now an empty tomb
The Son of Man's made all things new
No more death and no more pain
If you trust the Son
The Son, the Son
Christ the Son, the Risen One
The Son
The Son, the Son
Oh, God the Son, the Risen One!
The Son, the Lamb of God
Then they came, two runners in pursuit
They told me that the enemy was gone
But what of my son, Absalom?
The runners said, "Good news, my lord, my king!"
The men proclaimed, "We have the victory!"
Then they spoke, "Peace is here today!"
But Absalom, is he okay?
"No," they said, "his life was slain"
My child, dead, pierced on a tree
With tear streaked eyes and covered face
Heartsick and grieved, I cried
My son, my son
My God, I would have died for thee!
My son, oh Absalom
Between two thieves, hangs the King of the Jews
He said "Lord, forgive them. They know not what they do."
He bore all sins, all grief and all pain
In a cursed tree, my Lord was slain
The earth it shook and the veil was torn
And the dead, now with life, reborn
The soldiers cried, now terrified, said
"This is the Son of God!"
His Son, His Son
My God, His Son has died for me
His Son, the Lamb of God
Three days passed, now an empty tomb
The Son of Man's made all things new
No more death and no more pain
If you trust the Son
The Son, the Son
Christ the Son, the Risen One
The Son
The Son, the Son
Oh, God the Son, the Risen One!
The Son, the Lamb of God
