On Good Friday

I thought I'd post the lyrics of a song by Echo After, local alternative rock/Christian band.

Mark Me

Let's pretend I never was
When you ask why I'll say just because
You know I need a purpose
I'm drowning just beneath the surface
I can feel it inside
Tearing down the walls of pride
I need to lay it down
But what's a prince without a crown

Chorus
Show me the nail marked hands
The thrones that stand
Show me sacrifice
Show me the spear in your side
The cat of nine
Show me sacrifice

Let's pretend that we're not dead
See with our hearts and not our heads
Let's pretend we finally see
What we've always meant to be

Chorus

Spread my arms wide open
Cut me deep inside
Place the thorns upon me
Make me a sacrifice

Give me the nail marked hands
The thorns that stand
Make me a sacrifice
Give me the spear in your side
The cat of nine
Make me a sacrifice
Make me a sacrifice

If you're interested, you can hear the song online at their myspace page. I'd also consider How Many Trees a Good Friday song.
