“You took my place, You showed me grace, At the Cross where You died for me.”
The music from Hillsong is just full of hauntingly beautiful gems such as this (especially the Hillsong Chapel: Forever Reign CD) – the words of each song can uncover exactly what my heart yearns to tell the Lord at different points in my life. With this one, I’m reminded yet again that Jesus’ sacrifice will never get old for me… And I’m truly grateful for that.
When only love
Could make a way
You gave Your life
In a beautiful exchange
When only love
Could break these chains
You gave Your life
In a beautiful exchange
Holy are you God
Holy is Your name
With everything I’ve got
My heart will sing how I love you
Seems to be one of the few things for me capable of easing the pain of knowing that someone heartlessly took the lives of so many young children in Newton yesterday morning. In times like these, when all I can do is weep and ask why, Lord, I pray for Your comforting peace.
