Remember Me - Andrew Peterson

Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom

Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom

Who can ascend the hill of the Lord?

The one who utters no untrue word

Whose hands are clean, whose heart is pure

Who can ascend that hill?

There is none righteous, no not one

We are prodigal daughters and wayward sons

We don’t know the half of the hurt we’ve done

The countless we have killed

Our priests are cheats, our prophets are liars

We know what the law requires

But we pile our sins up higher and higher

Who can ascend that hill?

And I am a sheep who has gone astray

I have turned aside to my own way

Have mercy on me, Son of David

Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom

Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom

Now hear the voice of the Word made man

The spotless sacrificial Lamb

«A body You gave me, here I am

I have come to do Your will»

And no one takes my life, you see

I lay it down now willingly

And I will draw all men to me

When I ascend that hill

On Sunday You came as a King

On Monday washed the temple clean

On Tuesday You told of what will be

On Wednesday You waited patiently

On Thursday You said it is time

I’ll drink this cup 'cause it is mine

On Friday, Lord, You poured the wine

Like a thief on the cross, as He hung there dying

For crimes, there were no use denying

While the righteous Judge hung right beside him

How could I not recognize You?

How could I not recognize You?

How could I not recognize… my Lord?

My Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom

Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom

Just days ago the sky was stone

The trees were standing stripped to the bone

You could hear creation groan

But I write these words on an April day

And the earth is drinking the early rain

The hills remember green again

And we’ve heard this story all our lives

Still, we feel the pain of the crucified

And the end still comes as a surprise

But before the breath there in the tomb

Before our joy sprang from the womb

You saw a day that’s coming soon

When the Son will stand on the mount again

With an army of angels at His command

And the earth will split like the hull of a seed

Wherever Jesus plants His feet

And up from the earth, the dead will rise

Like spring trees robed in petals of white

Singing the song of the radiant bride

And we will always be, always be, always be with the Lord

We will always be, always be, always be with the Lord

We will always… (we will always be, always be)

Be with Jesus (always be with the Lord)

My Lord, remember me (we will always be, always be)

When You come into Your kingdom (always be with the Lord)

Lord, remember me (we will always be, always be)

When You come into Your kingdom (always be with the Lord)
