Elbow to Elbow

Cloud of witnesses above
A linking still below
Invisible elbow to invisible elbow of those who know
where sin abounds, he said his grace does. overflow.

My heart cries out
Forgiveness Lord
For how I play nice with sin
That's not sin with which i'm playing with
mere pride at very best
for sin - real sin is evil through and through
and eats things whole amidst wide brimming grins

Unity in Jesus Christ
He prayed to make us one
And one we are
Scarily so
The sin that so easily entangles my brother
Aches in my own bones

Thank God for the blood
It's craziness, amazing, powerful beyond! belief
Fully covers
Fully cleanses
Unites us clear and free!
Invisible links rise high or sink low
Victor is JESUS - believing elbow to believing elbow.

Hallelujah, like him, we'll rise.
All together, we will rise.
