    “Beautiful the Blood” by Steve Fee

    I never knew death could be so sweet
    I never knew surrender could feel so free
    I’ve never seen such meekness in majesty
    That the blood of Jesus was bled for me

    And now I’ll sing freedom for all my days
    It’s only by the power of the cross I’m raised
    The King of Glory rescued me

    How beautiful the blood flow
    How merciful the love shown
    The King of Glory poured out
    Victorious are we now

    I never knew through these nails would love unfold
    I never knew these wounds would heal my soul
    I’ve never seen such beauty and sorrow meet
    The blood of Jesus was bled for me

    And now I’ll sing freedom for all my days
    It’s only by the power of the cross I’m raised
    The King of Glory rescued me

    How beautiful the blood flow
    How merciful the love shown
    The King of Glory poured out
    Victorious are we now

    How beautiful You are
    How merciful You are
    How glorious You are
    Christ our Savior

  2. Modern hymn of the week. . .

    “Nothing but the blood” by Matt Redman


    Your blood speaks a better word
    Than all the empty claims
    I’ve heard upon this earth,
    Speaks righteousness for me
    And stands in my defense,
    Jesus, it’s Your blood

    What can wash away our sins?
    What can make us whole again?
    Nothing but the blood,
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus

    What can wash us pure as snow,
    Welcomed as the friends of God?
    Nothing but Your blood,
    Nothing but Your blood, King Jesus

    Your cross testifies in grace,
    Tells of the Father’s heart
    To make a way for us
    Now boldly we approach,
    Not by earthly confidence
    It’s only by Your blood

    What can wash away our sins?
    What can make us whole again?
    Nothing but the blood,
    Nothing but the blood of Jesus

    What can wash us pure as snow,
    Welcomed as the friends of God?
    Nothing but Your blood,
    Nothing but Your blood, King Jesus

  3. Modern hymn of the week. . .

    “Devotion” by Marty Sampson

    I’ve been running, trying to be one who sees
    I’ve been working salvation out on my knees
    There is nothing better than knowing
    That we are redeemed
    I’m believing, trusting in creative hands
    I am praying for our world to bow to Your plan
    And this one thought is unmistakable:
    I take up my cross and follow You, Lord

    When You stand the tall trees and mountains bow
    When You speak the fiercest of oceans is still
    And I see the sinners seek devotion,
    The lost become chosen,
    And I fall to my knees

    I’m forgiven by a Saviour who did not deserve death
    He was blameless, and I was lost in shamefulness
    I’m delivered, but it doesn’t seem right
    Unless I keep my eyes focused on the Saviour who gave His life
    In the middle of a world that denies it believes,
    It is breaking apart at the very seams
    There is one thing to be alive for,
    And it’s to take up my cross and follow You, Lord

    When You stand the tall trees and mountains bow
    When You speak the fiercest of oceans is still
    And I see the sinners seek devotion,
    The lost become chosen,
    And I fall to my knees

    I will take up my cross and follow, Lord, where You lead me
    I will take up my cross and follow wherever You go

    When You stand the tall trees and mountains bow
    When You speak the fiercest of oceans is still
    And I see the sinners seek devotion,
    The lost become chosen,
    And I fall to my knees

  4. Modern hymn of the week. . .

    December 29, 2008 by Nate

    Well, my break is over.

    To kick things off, I thought I’d start with another lyric. I was hoping to avoid posting two songs by the same writer back-to-back, but I couldn’t resist. This modern hymn is such a powerful message about our response to Christ’s sacrifice and describes the believer’s yearning to take part in it.

    “Lead Me to the Cross” by Brooke Fraser

    Saviour, I come
    Quiet my soul
    Remember
    Redemption’s hill
    Where Your blood was spilled
    For my ransom

    Everything I once held dear
    I count it all as loss

    Lead me to the cross
    Where Your love poured out
    Bring me to my knees
    Lord, I lay me down
    Rid me of myself
    I belong to You
    Oh lead me
    Lead me to the cross

    You were as I
    Tempted and tried
    Human
    The Word became flesh
    Bore my sin and death
    Now You’re risen

    Everything I once held dear
    I count it all as loss

    Lead me to the cross
    Where Your love poured out
    Bring me to my knees
    Lord, I lay me down
    Rid me of myself
    I belong to You
    Oh lead me
    Lead me to the cross
