Ummmm, this. This song! Took our breath away when our worship team sang it for us at the Good Friday service. I was in love with it from the start. HAD TO HAVE IT. Definitely take a listen, read the lyrics, and love it, too. Amen to every single word.
Lord, Remember Me
by Andrew Peterson
Lord, remember me when you come into Your kingdom
Lord, remember me when you come into Your kingdom
Who can ascend the hill of the Lord?
The one who utters no untrue word
Whose hands are clean, whose heart is pure
Who can ascend that hill?
There is none righteous, no not one
We are prodigal daughters and wayward sons
We don't know half of the hurt we've done
The countless we have killed
Our priests are cheats, our prophets are liars
We know what the law requires
But we pile our sins up higher and higher
Who can ascend that hill?
And I am a sheep who has gone astray
I have turned aside to my own way
Have mercy on me, Son of David
Lord, remember me when you come into Your kingdom
Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom
Now hear the voice of the Word made man
The spotless sacrificial Lamb
"A body you gave me, here I am
I have come to do Your will"
And no one takes my life, you see
I lay it down now willingly
And I will draw all men to me
When I ascend that hill
On Sunday You came as King
On Monday washed the temple clean
On Tuesday You told of what will be
On Wednesday You waited patiently
On Thursday You said it is time
I'll drink this cup 'cause it is mine
On Friday, Lord, you poured the wine
Like a thief on the cross, as he hung there dying
For crimes, there were no use denying
While the righteous Judge hung right beside him
How could I not recognize You?
How could I not recognize You?
How I could I not recognize ... my Lord?
My Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom
Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom
Just days ago the sky was stone
The trees were standing stripped to the bone
You could hear creation groan
But I write these words on an April day
And the earth is drinking the early rain
The hills remember green again
We've heard this story all our lives
Still, we feel the pain of the crucified
And the end still comes as a surprise
But before the breath there in the tomb
Before our joy sprang from the womb
You saw a day that's coming soon
When the Son will stand on the mount again
With an army of angels at His command
And the earth will split like the hull of a seed
Wherever Jesus plants His feet
And up from the earth, the dead will rise
Like spring trees robed in petals of white
Singing the song of the radiant bride
And we will always be, always be, always be with the Lord
And we will always be, always be, always be with the Lord
We will always ...
Be with the Jesus
My Lord, remember me (we will always be, always be)
When You come into Your kingdom (always be with the Lord)
Lord, remember me (we will always be, always be)
When You come into Your kingdom (always be with the Lord)

I've listened to that one over and over this week. Andrew Peterson did his Resurrection Letters concert at our church on Good Friday, so that was a special treat and now I can't get the music out of my head!
No way!!! He is from here around Nashville ... so cool that of all the places he would be on Good Friday that he would just so happen to be at your church! Lucky you!!
And yes, Noah and Anna all day yesterday couldn't stop singing this song as a result of hearing it and reading the lyrics while I blogged it. HA! I told them that this is a wonderful thing to have on repeat in our head and hearts. ;)
