Grace Worship

 
Week of April 14
One of my favorite parts of being in worship leadership is to aide the church in preparing for corporate worship. Sunday corporate worship should be an overflow of the time we’ve spent with Jesus during the rest of the week. Beginning this week, I will be sharing a blog to make the songs available as well as why they were chosen. It’s my prayer that this will aide you in your personal time of worship as well as giving you a head start on songs you may not be familiar with! Be Blessed and See you Wednesday and Sunday!
 
“Hosanna” – Hillsong; “Saviour King Live”
Listen Now
In Matthew 21 we find what we call “The Triumphal Entry.” As the people shouted and celebrated, they were assuming Jesus was coming to form a new earthly government. We have such a great advantage over those group of people. We know the real reason he was entering the city! It wasn’t to overthrow a government. He came to over throw sin and death! So we boldly proclaim that word of adoration and praise,”Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna in the Highest!” Child of God, your sins are paid for!!
 
“Bless the Lord (All That is Within Me)”– Travis Cottrell; “All That is Within Me”
Listen Now
 
Have you ever thought how incredible it is that we are singing King David’s songs thousands of years after they were written! Psalm 100:1 says,”Bless the Lord, o my soul and all that is within me bless His holy name!” Just take a few moments to thank God for his faithfulness! Think about what He has done in your life, personally or even what He May be doing today!
 
“Reckless Love” – Cory Asbury
Listen Now
To understand the concept behind this song, spend some time in the chorus:
“And oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God Oh, it chases me down, fights ’til I’m found, leaves the ninety-nine And I couldn’t earn it, and I don’t deserve it, still, You give Yourself away
“And oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God Oh, it chases me down, fights ’til I’m found, leaves the ninety-nine And I couldn’t earn it, and I don’t deserve it, still, You give Yourself away Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God.”
I’m so incredibly grateful for Hod’s pursuit of me!! Others would have given up but not God!! His love tears through and breaks through. That’s powerful!
 
Chain Breaker- Zach Williams
Listen Now
This is one we have sung a few times and for good reason! We were never meant for chains or prisons (of ALL kinds) in God’s original plan. But God chose Jesus as the Savior of the world from the beginning!
 
 
I pray we all will sing these songs as grateful and adoring children of our Risen Savior and Redeeming King this week!
 
Much Love in Jesus!
