Where in this day shall I go
To meet and pray
To kneel before thy throne
While brothers gather round
In isolation a shroud
May not these thoughts in me
Be proud
Yet save thy love in me
Instead abound
Though the betrayers
Blade at my back
Be stayed
Still not shall I
By it be swayed
Still love my betrayer
My enemy, my brother
My Friend
Still always
And to the end
For twas thine own
Brother who did betray
And though the price
He did pay
Thine gift twas death
That life within
May revive
And restore
To bring the lost
To thine open door
That they may be
Lost no more
