Bearer of the Body

You must bear witness to the Cross of Christ:
She'll be your suffering and your reward.
The life you bear is filled with stress and strife,
But Heaven evermore is your reward.

You must bear witness to the whips and cords
He tied inside the temple when he came
To drive out all corruption and discord
And on his back bear it, instead, to save.

You must bear witness to the empty grave
Your body will be fertile soil to to fill,
Where soul unleashed, the Spirit that He gave
Will find a land of freedom by His will.

You must bear witness to these things you see,
The Spirit lives in you and speaks through me.
