Lord, We Would Not Forget Your Love

Music by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach; arr. Edward Miller, words by James G. Deck


Lord, we would not forget Your love;
You have redeemed us by Your blood,
And now, as our High Priest above,
You intercede for us with God.

Lord, we would not forget the pain,
The blood-like sweat, the shameful tree,
The wrath Your soul did once sustain,
From sin and death to set us free.

We would remember we are one
With every saint that loves Your name;
United to You on the throne,
Our life, our hope, our Lord the same.

Here, in the broken bread and wine,
We hear You say, "Remember Me!
I gave My life to ransom thine;
I bore the wrath to set you free."

Lord, we are Yours; we praise Your love,
One with Your saints, all one with You;
We would, until we meet above,
In all our ways remember You.
