Majesty In Misery in Wolves At The Gate

Though all of us have gone our own way
Though all of us have left and gone astray
Left and gone astray

The savior restrained
The king he was chained
For a people of unclean lips
With our hands blood stained
For the sake of his glory and love his power abstained

No rebellious cries with only love in his eyes
He knew our sin meant his demise
And as he walked in such grace
In grief he fell on his face
In light of all that he would embrace

Distressed
Until it was complete
Distressed
Till death had met defeat

While never calling retreat
Or even signaled defeat
This work was not yet complete
Despite the pain that’d ensue
And of the torment he knew.
His face was set to see it through
(Set to see it through)

The savior restrained
The king he was chained
For a people of unclean lips
With our hands blood stained
The savior restrained
The king he was chained
For the sake of his glory and love

Though all of us have gone our own way
Though all of us have left and gone astray

Cast down by wicked plans
Tortured by our own hands
Despised, deformed, disgraced
Forgiving all he faced

He was distressed until it finished
The pain endured was not diminished
Until the vict’ry’s sound and was won
“Not my will but yours be done.”

He drank it all, the cup of God’s wrath
He drank it down to the end
He drank it all, the cup of God’s wrath
He drank it down to the bitter end

You laid our wickedness on his head
For all we’ve done and all that we’ve said
He was crushed for our transgressions
He was pierced for all our sins
How could your death mean that I live?
When it’s my life that brought you death?
Oh God I truly give
My beating heart and living breath
