Lyrics

Stripes of Salvation

Verse 1

Underneath the Roman lash, His flesh was torn, but not His spirit dashed,
Isaiah’s prophecy, “By His wounds, we are healed,” vividly flashed.
Each cruel stripe, each mark of hate, was for our sin, a redemptive fate,
In every blow, love did not abate, but grew stronger, sealed our heavenly state.

Chorus:

Stripes of salvation, marks of pure love,
Fulfilling the words from the Father above.
In every wound, a story of grace,
He bore our pain, took our rightful place.

Verse 2:

The whip’s crack, the skin’s tear, a symphony of our sin laid bare,
Yet with each stripe, He offered a prayer, “Father, forgive them,” His only care.
For in His pain, our healing was won, the victory over death begun,
The Lamb of God, the righteous One, by His stripes, the battle done.

Chorus:

Stripes of salvation, marks of pure love,
Fulfilling the words from the Father above.
In every wound, a story of grace,
He bore our pain, took our rightful place.

Bridge:

Look upon the Savior, beaten, scorned, yet brave,
Carrying the cross of sin, He came to save.
Let your heart be lightened, for His pain was not in vain,
In His wounds, we find our healing, in His suffering, our gain.

Chorus:

Stripes of salvation, marks of pure love,
Fulfilling the words from the Father above.
In every wound, a story of grace,
He bore our pain, took our rightful place.

Outro:

So, let us stand in awe and wonder, at the price He chose to pay,
For the stripes He bore in silence, wash our deepest stains away.
In His wounds, we find our victory, in His scars, our story told,
Stripes of salvation, our healing to behold.

Devotional for “Gethsemane’s Promise”

Introduction: Welcome to the first devotional of our album, “Journey of Redemption: The Path of the Cross.” Today, we delve into “Gethsemane’s Promise,” a song that takes us into the heart of Jesus’ agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. As we reflect on this song and scripture, we invite you to enter the garden with Jesus, to sit beside Him in His most vulnerable moment, and to understand the depth of the love that led Him to say, “Not my will, but Yours be done.”

Reflective Questions:

  1. Imagine the scene in the garden. What emotions do you think were weighing on Jesus’ heart?
  2. How does knowing that Jesus willingly faced such agony for our sake affect your understanding of His love for you?
  3. Jesus found strength in prayer. How can you follow His example in your times of distress or decision-making?

Listening to the Song:

As you listen to “Gethsemane’s Promise,” focus on the lyrics that depict Jesus’ struggle and submission. Let the melody enhance your meditation on His sacrifice. Think about the olive trees, the quiet night, and the impending sacrifice.

Personal Reflection:

Spend a few moments in quiet reflection or writing in your journal. Contemplate what Gethsemane’s events mean for you personally. How does Jesus’ willingness to embrace the Father’s will inspire you to trust God in your life?

Prayer:

Dear Lord, In the quiet of Gethsemane, You faced the darkest night with the weight of the world upon Your shoulders. As I reflect on Your journey, help me to understand the depth of Your love and sacrifice. Teach me to submit to the Father’s will, to find strength in prayer, and to trust in Your plan for my life. Thank You for bearing the pain of my sins and for the promise of redemption found in Your obedience. Amen.

Closing Thought: As you go about your day, carry with you the image of Jesus in the garden. Remember His submission and love, and let it guide you in your interactions, decisions, and the way you face your struggles.

Lyrics

Gethsemane’s Promise

Verse 1

In the quiet garden’s plea, beneath the ancient olive trees,
He knelt in sorrow, yet at peace, embracing prophecy.
Isaiah’s words, like whispers, fade, “a man of sorrows,” boldly laid,
Yet in His agony displayed, the promise made for us.

Chorus

In Gethsemane’s shadow, a light begins to shine,
For every tear He shed, a promise divine.
By His willing heart, our chains are released,
In His solitary prayer, our souls find their peace.

Verse 2:

The sweat fell like drops of blood, a crimson tide, a holy flood,
Fulfilling what the prophets said, for us, His sacred head bowed.
In every droplet, freedom’s song, for every sin and every wrong,
The victory of love, so strong, was won in quiet prayer.

Chorus

In Gethsemane’s shadow, a light begins to shine,
For every tear He shed, a promise divine.
By His willing heart, our chains are released,
In His solitary prayer, our souls find their peace.

Bridge:

From Eden lost to hope restored, the path He chose, the cross He bore,
In every step, He thought of us, His love, the final, lasting cure.
For in His pain, we find our gain, in His cries, our sin’s refrain,
The Lamb of God, for us was slain, yet rose to life again.

Chorus

In Gethsemane’s shadow, a light begins to shine,
For every tear He shed, a promise divine.
By His willing heart, our chains are released,
In His solitary prayer, our souls find their peace.

Outro:

So, in the garden’s fading night, hold fast to the coming light,
For the sorrow of this holy fight, brings the dawn of love’s true might.
In Gethsemane’s promise, we stand, with victory in our hand,
For in His suffering was planned, our place beside the Lamb.

Lyrics

Speak Life

Verse 1

In a world where words are fleeting,
And truth is often bending,
Stands a command, firm and meeting,
A call for lies’ ending.
“You shall not bear false witness,” He commands,
In truth and love, may we stand.

Chorus

Speak life, in every word,
Let truth’s light be seen and heard.
In our lips, let there be,
Reflections of Your integrity.

Verse 2

With every tale that’s spun, a fabric tears,
In the tapestry of trust, a fissure bears.
But in honesty, a healing bond,
In truthful words, a sacred song.
Let not deceit our lips defile,
Speak life, and with each word, reconcile.

Chorus

Speak life, in every word,
Let truth’s light be seen and heard.
In our lips, let there be,
Reflections of Your integrity.

Bridge

For every false word leads astray,
But truth’s path shows the way.
In Your wisdom, may we dwell,
In our words, Your truth to tell.
Guide our tongues and keep our hearts,
In the life that truth imparts.

Verse 3

May our words be seeds of peace,
Bringing hope, making love increase.
In a world of shifting sand,
Let us speak with a truthful stand.
For in the end, it’s truth that frees,
In honest words, we find our peace.

Chorus

Speak life, in every word,
Let truth’s light be seen and heard.
In our lips, let there be,
Reflections of Your integrity.

Outro

So, let’s vow to speak what’s right,
In the day and in the night.
With every word, let’s sow life,
Cutting through falsehood like a knife.
In our speech, let love be rife,
In Your grace, we’ll speak life.

Devotional for Track 10: “Heart’s Desire”

Introduction:

“Heart’s Desire” brings us to a contemplative close on “Covenant Echoes,” focusing on the tenth commandment’s admonition against coveting. This track and devotional invite you to explore the depth of true contentment found in God’s provision and to reflect on reshaping your desires to align with His will and purpose.

Scripture Reading:

Philippians 4:11-13 – “I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, through him who gives me strength.”

Reflection:

  1. Understanding Contentment: Reflect on what contentment means to you. How does it differ from complacency or resignation? Consider how contentment might look in your life, acknowledging the sufficiency of God’s provision.
  2. The Root of Discontent: Identify areas of your life where you feel most susceptible to envy or discontent. What fuels these feelings? Reflect on how shifting your focus from what you lack to what you have can foster a deeper sense of gratitude and peace.
  3. Desires Aligned with God: Think about your deepest desires. How do they align with God’s desires for your life? Consider how aligning your heart with God’s heart can transform your perspective on what you seek and cherish.

Application:

  1. Gratitude Practice: Each day this week, write down three things you’re thankful for. Focus especially on simple blessings and the provision you typically overlook. Notice how this practice affects your overall sense of contentment.
  2. Mindful Consumption: Be mindful of how consumer culture influences your desires. This week, before making a purchase or yearning for something new, take a moment to consider whether it’s a need or a want. Reflect on how this discernment process helps you find contentment in what you already have.
  3. Spiritual Desires: Spend time in prayer asking God to help align your desires with His. Ask for wisdom and discernment to pursue what truly fulfills and aligns with His will for your life.

Prayer:

Close with a moment of prayer, such as:

“Heavenly Father, in a world that constantly tells me I need more, help me find my contentment in You. Teach me to appreciate the blessings you’ve given me and to align my desires with Your perfect will. Grant me the peace that comes from knowing You are all I need. May my heart’s deepest desire always be for more of You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Contentment of a godly kind.

In Your will, we are blessed.

In Your garden, among Your flowers.
