Our Tender Mother

Weekday Doxology (Great Fast)

Lyrics:

She came with the spices
To thy tomb O Lord,
Knowing not that Thou
Above the earth had soared.
She came void of all hope;
She came expecting death;
Forgetting the Life-Giver
Who is the living breath.

In trials and tribulations,
Do we not do the same:
Looking at our errors,
Despairing in our blame?
How often do we wallow,
Abandoning all hope –
As though on our own –
With burden we could cope.

If Peter lost all hope when
Our Lord exposed his sin,
Luke would not record
The three thousand he would win.
If Paul considered nothing
But his murderous past,
Would his inspired letters
To this generation last?

Moses’ life was evil,
Every sin he did commit,
But from this desert bandit,
A shining lamp was lit.
If Mary, Egypt’s harlot,
Had not tried to win his grace,
Would she now be in heaven –
Would she have won the race?

Our Lord set an example,
Compelled, we do the same:
Fight, strive, persevere and
On us will be no blame.
If our loving Saviour
Had not endured all pain,
Would Redemption and Salvation
Ever be our gain?

I come now with hope
To Thy Tomb O Lord,
Knowing that in Truth,
Above the earth Thou soared,
I come now with joy,
I come expecting life;
Knowing that through Thee
I can endure all strife.

Lyrics: 

Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
Came and sacrificed His life
For my sake, He did lay
Himself down and took my shame

All my worries He did free
The Logos, The Almighty 
Son of God, The Righteous One
Our Saviour, King of everyone

Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
Came and sacrificed His life
For my sake, He did lay
Himself down and took my shame
Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
Came and sacrificed his life
Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
Came and sacrificed His life

Served everyone, He didn't mind
Came to save and heal the blind
He is love and humility 
Born to die for humanity 

Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
Came and sacrificed His life
For my sake, He did lay
Himself down and took my shame
Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
Came and sacrificed his life
Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
Came and sacrificed His life

Was taken to be crucified
The innocent One chose to die
Hung and nailed to a tree
All for the sake of you and me

Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
Came and sacrificed His life
For my sake, He did lay
Himself down and took my shame
Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
Came and sacrificed his life
Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
Came and sacrificed His life

After three days He Rose from the dead
Destroyed all Satan's defense 
He promised He will come again
Our hope in Him will never end 

Christ Who lived 
Christ Who died
Rose and saved 
The dead and alive 
Said I’m here 
You're finally free
My child you belong to Me

Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
Came and sacrificed His life
For my sake, He did lay
Himself down and took my shame
Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
Came and sacrificed his life
Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
Came and sacrificed His life

Christ Who lived
Christ Who died
To Him I owe all my life

In the Church’s embrace
We found the sweetest life
Life with our Lord Christ
Is above all success

Our Church is strong and steadfast
Solid throughout the years
From her fountain of compassions 
And her teachings we live 

The soldiers of the faith
The courageous the saints
Who sacrificed their lives
To preserve it for us

They were on earth living
With Christ were rejoicing
Their lives sacrificing 
In Christ’s love abiding

In the Church’s embrace
We found the sweetest life 
Life with our Lord Christ
Is above all success

Our Church is strong and steadfast
Solid throughout the years
From her fountain of compassions 
And her teachings we live
