Abel Lyrics by Caroline Cobb

Sing

2009

[Verse 1]
Abel, your blood is in my mouth
And Abel, your blood is crying out
And he was angry or jealous
His heart was full of hate
But your blood is on your brother
And it's calling out His name
[Verse 2]
And Abel, betrayed in your last breath
And I am full of blood, blood and dirt and death
But there is hope for you, and even for your brother yet
'Cause there's a Judge and He'll avenge all
The blood of the oppressed
[Verse 3]
Abel, you know another man came down
And Abel, you know His blood poured on the ground
And He was right and He was love
He was buried in the dirt
But He broke free and His blood still
Cries out for the earth
[Verse 4]
And Abel, you're not the only one
'Cause it's been brother against brother
And father against son
And tribe against tribe even in God's name
But the blood on the ground is the same in the veins
Flowing through you Abel and through your brother Cain
[Verse 5]
And Abel, one day all will be made right
Abel, one day your blood will [have to?] cry
But 'til that day Love will fight even in God’s name
To bring justice for the helpless, redemption for Cain
Justice for the helpless, redemption for Cain and Abel
[Verse 6]
Please don't fight anymore, be your brother's keeper
Please don't fight anymore, be your brother's keeper
Please don't fight anymore, be your brother's keeper
Please don't fight anymore, because we are brothers
