1st Corinthians 2
Glad and Woeful Words We Carry
melody

Glad and woeful words we carry,
Burdens of our risen Lord,
Salted by our humble bearings:
"Peace with God through Christ alone".
This our faith we are retelling;
Words of life from heav'n rained down
O'er our desert ground; upwelling
By God's resurrection pow'r.

Woe to frames of pride and passions
Where hell's fading courses surge,
Raising vain imaginations,
Blinding man with lifeless words.
Once when God's full plan was hidden,
Life emerged 'neath Calv'rys hill.
Now cries wisdom, in us written:
"Life for whosoever will".

Ways of God on Moses' tablets,
For the hearts of sinful man,
Ne'er could change our stony habits
Nor could make the righteous stand.
Only by the breath of Jesus
Will the garden of our soul
Be revived by bread he feeds us;
Words to make the body whole.

Word and Spirit form our vision,
As the mind of Christ conveyed,
Showing us profound division
'Tween eternal night and day.
As this rising light rays deeply
Through His sheep upon the earth,
May it like a star lead people
Through our witness of rebirth.

(Jn.4:14, 7:38-39, Rom.10:10)

Woe to frames of pride and passions
Where hell's fading courses surge,
Raising vain imaginations,
Blinding man with lifeless words.

(Ecc.1:13, Jn.7:45, 8:37, Eph.2:1-3)

Now cries wisdom, in us written:
"Life for whosoever will"

For the hearts of sinful man
Ne’er could change our stony habits
Nor could make the righteous stand.

Only by the breath of Jesus
Will the garden of our soul
Be revived by bread he feeds us;
Words to make the body whole

(Jn.20:22, 6:63, Acts 2:2, 2:33, Is.55:1)

Word and Spirit form our vision,
As the mind of Christ conveyed,
Showing us profound division
'Tween eternal night and day.

As this rising light rays deeply
Through His sheep upon the earth,
May it like a star lead people
Through our witness of rebirth.

(1Thess.5:5, Jn.15:18-20, 2Pet.2:19)
