\You’ve got to die

            You’ve got to die

                        In order to live

                                    In order to live\ 

And this the hope

            In that death there is a seed

            In that death there is a seed

In that death there is a seed

Without that death

That seed wouldn’t come

So my hope is in death

For that brings the next generation

That brings the new wine

So let all these things die

When you haven’t had great harvest

Where you have had death

Where you are having death

            Rejoice!

It’s your seed that’s bringing your harvest

Oh I see you!

There’s pain in death

Having to let it die

Let the pain go – 

Find your dance

Find your song

And praise!

This is your seed!

This is your seed!

It’s sacrifice!

It’s dying

It’s where we overcome

For that which dies in its season

Will come to live eternal

Rejoice in death

Of the things precious to you

They are your testimony

What is a sacrifice that 

            You do not greatly need

            That you do not deeply desire

Its perfect place

            Is the altar of sacrifice

                        Before the Living God

                        Who sees what you’ve

                                    Done in secret

And his heart is moved

            And he quakes

                        And heaven resounds

            And there the True One declares

                        That “I will touch

                        “And give resurrection life”

                                    It will be transformed

“My blessing will rest on this sacrifice.
