For the sake of easy reading, I broke my last entry up into two parts. I would have included this next post with it, but I think they call those novels, not blog updates.
This song has been on my heart for the last few days, years actually. Stuart Townend is truly another David. He is a wonderful Psalmist and modern day hymn writer. This is one of my favorite songs of his, and the lyrics are so incredibly timely. If you'd like to see more of them or listen to it, you should visit Worship Together or Heart of Worship to get more information.
How Deep the Father's Love for Us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
to make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory
v.2
Behold the Man upon a cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished
