Mark of Cain

His brother’s blood cries from the earth
As Abel speaks to Cain,
And mark of Cain proclaims his worth
     Despite his sin and shame.

Then Jesus comes and His Blood drips
     From Cross to earth redeem,
And enters us through par’ched lips
     To thwart our evil schemes.

Our Babel’s efforts come to naught,
     And we face our own sin;
By Jesus’ Blood the truth we’re taught
     Brings life to earth again.

Our mark of Cain for us the sign
     That Jesus came for us;
Through water we are changed to wine
     As in death we Him trust.

With all our praise and thanks we greet
     God’s Son who comes to save,
And we meet Cain at mercy seat
    Beyond our human graves.
