I Do This For Love

I DO THIS FOR LOVE

(Scripture refrences: 1st V; Jeremiah 31, Chorus; Mark 14, 2nd V; John, Mark)


Surely, said our God, the days are coming
The covenant I make will all be new
The lamb that I will send for sacrificing
Will not look like the one that you would choose


I will plant my Spirit in my people
Transcribe it on their hearts and in their minds
Everyone who call my name will know me
Freedom and forgiveness they will find


CHORUS
This is my body broken because
I go before you I do this for love
This cup that is poured out this is my blood
I go before you I do this for love I do this for love


I’ve wondered Lord who I am in your story
Am I Pilate, Peter, Judas, John
Before your final earthly hours were over
I find my heart is deeply focused on

You washed the dirty feet of your disciples
You spoke about betrayal and of trust
You dipped unleavened bread into the maror
Said to Judas go do what you must


CHORUS


BRIDGE
Help me to remember Lord this moment
This evening that you took a loaf of bread
You offered something different in the seder
The gift for me is knowing what you meant
