With Blood Comes Cleansing - The Hanged (Luke) Lyrics

The man moved by the Spirit
Documenting the accounts of Christ
Provider of healing both physical and spiritual
A follower who would go to lay down his life
On a mission through the lands of the East
Where pagans ruled and human life was cheap
His adversaries came
With ropes and blackened hearts
He never had a chance
Not even from the start
Where pagans ruled and human life was cheap
His adversaries came
With ropes and blackened hearts
Dragged to the olive tree
The fight of his life
Sentenced to death through asphyxiation
He prepared to breath his last breath
Dragged to the olive tree
The fight of his life
The rope wrapped tightly around his neck
It crushed his throat and dug into his flesh
As he hung there
The darkness closed in
Asphyxiation was killing him
He suffered and died
For the sake of Christ
He gave up his life
And never thought twice
His life was to come to an end
His mission to evangelize to reach completion
As he hung on the tree of olives
His Savior opened His arms and welcomed to the kingdom
His adversaries came with ropes and blackened hearts
He never had a chance
Not even from the start
