Beneath this sea of forgetfulness
Lies a former self
And the sins wrought my other's felt
As far as the eye can try to see
Cast into the abyss
That something may rise to live
Water and blood flowed
Plunging me to the depths below
Where only the wretched go
His holiness forcing the currents upon me
This rugged Calvary
Also becomes the death complete
As my sins carve His hands and stain His brow
He reaches out with love
When no one else knows how
He says, "die with Me"
Drink of the blood I shed for thee
Plunging me into the soul so deep
Facing the Creator underneath
Out for the count
Screams the demons of doubt
Baptized in the water of Calvary
Death swallowed up in Victory
He calls me by my name
Forever changed
Marked with blood
We rise from the flood
Even the demon of doubt unshackles guilt
Crumbling come down the walls so intricately built
He hands me a sword
Calls me warrior
Baptized with fire
His only desire
Formed and fashioned in the image of the Son
An ultimate conquest already won
Weakness now becomes strength
Penetrating ever part of our being
The King inside
Hidden behind
Dirt clay eyes
Yet this fire cannot be denied
Remains while someone else utterly died
Something else altogether lovely
Energy current beckons come alive
As resurrected Christ
No longer I
Who is this you see?
All together complete Simplicity
For death for her has already been
Swallowed up in Victory!
