Absorb the Evil [Church Musical--Original Song]

Sometimes people beat us, sufferings defeat us,
evil words they cut us to the bone
Sometimes folks betray us, lay us down and flay us,
sometimes we feel like we’re all alone
Someone else has been through all this suffering
Jesus went through hell that heaven He might bring
To us who receive Him, though we cannot see
He still carries us through everything so we
Absorb the evil, give it to the Father
Absorb the pain and pass that to Him too
When you are tempted to give as good as gotten
Remember what the Lord absorbed for you
When our anger boils, all our joys seem spoiled
We don’t care if it is wrong or right
Raising fists and voices, making real bad choices,
For our pride and wounded hearts we fight.
We forget He said revenge is His to pay
And the resolution may not come today
We are to forgive and let Him make the call
He’s the final judge of people, one and all
So when we are tempted to take things in our hand
We must give to Jesus what we don’t understand
We don’t always see why justice takes so long
In the meantime, we submit to God and sing this song:
Absorb the evil, give it to the Father
Absorb the pain and pass that to Him too
When you are tempted to give as good as gotten
Remember what the Lord absorbed for you…He absorbed for you
