Together we will win

My heart was in a muddle

I felt that I had failed

In areas where I struggled

I’m still felt all the pain

I knew a thousand theories

Stored up inside my head

Until one day he came near me

And this is what he said:

“Your issues are my issues

Your sin is my sin

I’m loving being here with you

Your friend, your Lord, your king

I’ve come down from the cross

To be with you now forever

Let me take you by the hand

For as we walk this through together

We will win !”

Somehow I’d always felt

That Jesus was aloof

Though I had robust theology

My heart still needed proof

And when I felt I’d compromised

And groaned, “Lord this is tough,”

Jesus gazed into my eyes

And spoke these words of love:

“Your issues are my issues

Your sin is my sin

I’m loving being here with you

Your friend, your Lord, your king

I’ve come down from the cross

To be with you now forever

Let me take you by the hand

For as we walk this through together

We will win !”

To me, the cross resembled

A bar raised far too high

I felt the haunting pressure

To all my flesh life die

A pill too big to swallow

An example far too great

An act too hard to follow

For my flesh to imitate

I always try so hard

To get my ducks all in a line

To know I was correct

As I sorted out my mind

But feeling I was drowning

So sick, so deaf and blind.

He softly said these words to me

So loving and so kind:

“Your issues are my issues

Your sin is my sin

I’m loving being here with you

Your friend, your Lord, your king

I’ve come down from the cross

To be with you now forever

Let me take you by the hand

For as we walk this through together

We will win !”

My heart had made me feel

Somehow separate from him

It’s like I heard the music

But I had two words to sing

The honey tasted beautiful

But the bee still had a sting

Yet just this one encounter

Seemed to change everything

It’s difficult to imagine

A more holy love caress

I just don’t have the language

Or words that can express

The sense of being so valued

So honoured and esteemed

To hear such words from someone

Who had been so demeaned

“Your issues are my issues

Your sin is my sin

I’m loving being here with you

Your friend, your Lord, your king

I’ve come down from the cross

To be with you now forever

Let me take you by the hand

For as we walk this through together

We will win !”
