The Overseer
by Burial Extraction

Album: Rotting Flesh

Reviled and rejected, the suffering servant,
without sin or blemish, bore our sins on his body.

He was punished and pierced for our peace
and buried with the wicked,
but death could not overtake the Lord.

By His wounds we are healed
when like sheep, we went astray,
but now with ears to hear,
we are servants of the overseer.

As foreigners and exiles,
ambassadors for Christ,
live as the One who suffered and became our sacrifice.

A royal priesthood.

We're chosen to proclaim
the name of Him who called us
from the darkness into the marvelous light.

The living stone that man rejected,
is the foundation for those that trust Him.

Saints declare the mercy you've received,
eternal life for those that believe.

New life in Christ!

We're new creations,
building on the rock of our salvation;
the overseer,
the shepherd of souls,
Jesus Christ,
the chief cornerstone.
