Shadows of the Son – Mp3 Demo and Lyrics

Hey, rough demo from worship. Full band. Kruse and I worked out the lyrics. This has really been the first one that the band arranged specifically together and with the purpose of recording it as a band. The first Carmen Dei record was mostly my friend Phil and I.

I am really having a good tme feeling this new vibe for this new record as we see it come together.

Shadows of The Son – John Frederick/Matthew Kruse

Arranged by Nick Sutera, Chris Coughlin, and John Frederick

*Keep in mind this is a board mix. Its full band but we just basically ran the mixing board signal into a computer and so its very lo-fi but good enough for now. Feel free to share it but let friends know its a live, board mix demo.

Lyrics–>

Silent Lamb breathes not but a whisper.

Blood and Spit disguise his face.

Crown of thorns. Wooden cross. Nails and splinters.

Pierce the one who took our place.

-

Silent lamb breathes not but a whisper.

Mocking crowd Hail “Crucify!”

Pain endured for the joy set before him.

All things through him reconciled.

-

We feed ourselves on every word that God breathed out,

Shadows of the Son in each line. (Temporary line…but I sorta like it)

Weaved throughout the story of redemption is the suffering and glory of Christ.

God didn’t stay in the heavenly realm but he made himself nothing and took our sin upon himself.

-

Sin so small in our eyes that we figure. Senseless murder waste of life.

Sin so huge in our eyes may we see it. The Son of God was crucified.

Sin so small in our eyes that we wonder, “Divine abuse from on high?”

No! We were  made at one reconciled to the Father. The wrath of God was satisfied.

-

We feed ourselves on every word that God breathed out,

Shadows of the Son in each line.

Weaved throughout the story of redemption is the suffering and glory of Christ.

God didn’t stay in the heavenly realm but he made himself nothing and took our sin upon himself.
