go on up to the mountain of mercy
to the crimson perpetual tide
kneel down on the shore, be thirsty no more
go under and be purified
follow christ to the holy mountain
sinner, sorry and wrecked by the fall
cleanse your heart and your soul, in the fountain that flows
for you and for me and for all
at the wonderful tragic mysterious tree
on that beautiful scandalous night you and me
were atoned by his blood and forever washed white
on that beautiful scandalous night
on the hillside you will be delivered
at the foot of the cross justified
and your spirit restored, by the river that pours
from our blessed savior's side
at the wonderful tragic mysterious tree
on that beautiful scandalous night you and me
were atoned by his blood and forever washed white
on that beautiful scandalous night.
you carry the sin of mankind on your back
and the sky went black
go on up to the mountain of mercy
to the crimson perpetual tide
kneel down on the shore, be thirsty no more
go under and be purified.

this is one of my favorite songs {the music was used in our wedding as the processional for the bridesmaids}. the lyrics are so beautiful and create such a vivid image. i hope these words stay with you this weekend as we celebrate the ultimate sacrifice that our jesus made in order to save our lives. oh how glorious it is that he died and rose again for us. may you be forever reminded of his love. happy easter! -j.
