Mysterious Manna, Divine Agony (Ho Lama)

 

I am the Lord who may my mercies comprehend?

I make them new every day- every morning I’ll send

Great blessing in a new day and fresh grace

Mysterious manna for this time and place.

 

To wound my own son for the sake of my Love

To confound the angels tongues up above

To pour out my wrath for all sin for all time

To turn obscene pain into agony divine

 

For if He be lifted up all flesh shal be drawn to Him

Tho mostly despised and rejected by men

I will place the iniquities of the world on His head

And new wrath in His wilderness until He is dead!

 

And He will die seventy times seven deaths in one

He will die stretched out in love alone and all alone

Mysterious Manna, Divine Agony

This Bread of Affliction who answers to Me.

 

By god’s Spirit, God’sSon and the Father commit

To lay down his life and glory in spite of it

Forsaken and bearing all creation’s sin

Mystery of Mysteries- Now it all begins!
