lyrics

We were dead in our sin and in our trespasses.
In shadows of darkness, we dwelt with vile intent when we were dead.

When We Were Dead
When We Were Dead

As lifeless carcasses, our wages reaping death; embracing hell, wretched; we sleep in graves restless.
With throats like open graves, deceitful and depraved, we were dead, like corpses; with no hope to be
saved.

When We Were Dead
When We Were Dead

Buried and raised to life for the ungodly; Christ came to die, while we were enemies of God, but now we
are justified in Christ!

Now in Christ, saved by grace and in the coming age, we’ll see the richness of the Father’s holy grace.

We are alive!
We are alive!
We are alive!
We are alive!

Glory be to the King, Jesus the worthy lamb who holds the keys to death and to Hades who lives forever
on the throne of victory.

Salvation is a gift that we cannot boast in, called to do good works and through Christ, we walk in them.
God’s holy saints are saved through God’s mercy and grace.
We will not fear the grave as we once did when we were dead!

Out of the wreckage brought upon by dual personal tragedies comes an outstanding album that is sorrowful and victorious. Once you listen to this a few times, it’s hard to want to listen to anything else for a while. This is my front runner for metal album of 2021, and perhaps even my overall AOTY. Metal Marc
