Text Box: THE COVENANT 3:46
                  (Colossians. 1:24-29,
                                                   Hebrews 10: 12-21 & 16-18, Deut 10:12-21)
 
This is the covenant, most sacred:
I am giving you all myself.  
I pledge my life to You.
Here is my strength and willingness to 
fight beside You.
I take Your scars upon me as my own;
You’re flesh of my flesh,  
bone of my bone, Jesus!
This is Your timeless covenant.       
 
This is the covenant, most sacred:
I accept your blood and mingle your 
life with mine.
You gave your life and then shed 
 
 your blood instead of mine.
Defended me to death, my Lord, 
and Your scars are real.  
    I exchange my will for your’s—
    You gave up your will.
This is Your timeless covenant.
 
This is the covenant, most sacred.
  I am pledging all I own for the 
  love of You and Yours,
  Those You love will be mine and 
  I’ll defend  the poor.
  If anyone attacks my Love, 
  they come against me.
  And when I’m weak, 
  You are my strength.
  This is Your timeless covenant.
