Every Day We Pierce Him


from the ABC set Smooth Sailing I

The tune for this song is a Spanish church song titled "Llaga", which means open sore or wound. In the Spanish hymn book I have, the author is listed as anonymous. Anyway, here are some English lyrics(mine, of course) for that tune. Maybe someone can give them a try. If you're curious about the tune and don't know it, let me know and I'll give you an address to write to in order to get the tune. Or I'll send you a photocopy

Hurt Him
Every day we hurt Him
When we curse His presence
When we tell our lies

Pierce Him
Every day we pierce Him
Putting other gods first
Gods that have no eyes

Ch: Seeking,
(Just) What is it we're seeking?
Can we
find it without Him?

Kick Him
Every day we kick Him
When we envy others
When we disobey

Mock Him
Every day we mock Him
When we slay a neighbor
Or keep not His day

Final verse: Loving
He's forever loving
Every sheep's important
Whether lost or found(2X).
