Christ Promised(Song)

Standing in my shame,
Naked and alone;
No one left to blame;
The fault was all my own.
The Serpent sowed the lie,
Mine only was the fall;
Now cursed is all my race,
Now death has come on all.
Is this to be the end,
Forever lost and dead?
But no! the promise comes,
“I send a conq’ring Seed.”
So send the Seed,
Look from above,
Behold our need,
Send forth your Love –
Bruise under us
The Serpent’s head;
We hope in Christ and Christ alone,
So send the Seed!
Living without God,
Idols in my hand –
Then mercy’s promise comes:
“Get unto a land
“Where I will be your God,
And with you I shall dwell;
All nations will be blessed.”
So come Immanuel!
So send the Seed,
Look from above,
Behold our need,
Send forth your Love –
Bruise under us
The Serpent’s head;
We hope in Christ and Christ alone,
So send the Seed!
In God’s own time the Seed was lifted on a cross
To crush the Serpent’s head and to reverse our loss!
You sent the Seed,
From up above,
You saw our need,
You sent your Love –
Bruise under us
The Serpent’s head;
We hope in Christ and Christ alone,
Our conq’ring Seed!
