Emery B. Barber - We Are | EverBlessed Lyrics

Once we were lost, we were slaves to sin
Bound without a hope, doing our best we could not win
But Jesus reached into the darkness
Brought us into his marvelous light

No longer hopeless, now our futures are bright
We are a chosen people, we are a holy nation,
We are a royal priesthood, we are called to bring the sacrifice
We are a chosen people, we are a holy nation,

We are a royal priesthood, we are called to bring the sacrifice
No more pigeons, no more lambs
Jesus gave his all for us, he is the great I Am
We are a chosen people, we are a holy nation,

We are a royal priesthood, we are called to bring the sacrifice
We are a chosen people, we are a holy nation,
We are a royal priesthood, we are called to bring the sacrifice
We are called to bring the sacrifice, spiritual sacrifices

We are called to bring the sacrifice, holy and acceptable
We are called to bring the sacrifice, the sacrifice of praise
Once we were not this people, but now we can say we are, we are
Once we were not forgiven, but now we can say we are, we are

Once we were broken, but now we can say we're healed, we are
Once we were in bondage, but now we can say we're free, we are
We are, we are, we are, we are
No more pigeons, no more lambs. Jesus gave his all for us

He is the great I am, we are not pigeons, no more lambs
We are called to bring the sacrifice, no more pigeons, no more lambs
Jesus gave his all for us, he is the great I am
We are a chosen people, we are a holy nation

We are a royal priesthood, we are called to bring the sacrifice
No more pigeons, no more lambs, Jesus gave his all for us
He is the great I am, we are called to bring the sacrifice, the sacrifice of praise
Sacrifice of praise, we are called to bring the sacrifice

We are a chosen people, we are a holy nation
We are a royal priesthood, we are called to bring the sacrifice
