Something Powerful...

I will, from time to time, hear a song that strikes me in a powerful way and have the desire to share it.  This is one of those times.  Our church service concluded with this song yesterday, just before communion was offered and after a great message about worship.  I'm not sure a better song could have been chosen for that moment.  It's one I've heard before but had forgotten about.  I have put it on my workout playlist, though it's not necessarily a typical "motivational" song, it certainly is encouraging enough to help me push through an interval or sprint.

Here are the lyrics to "Jesus, son of God".....

you came down from heaven's throne
this earth you formed was not your home
a love like this the world had never known

a crown of thorns to mock your name
forgiveness fell upon your face
a love like this the world had never known

on the altar of our praise let there be no higher name
Jesus son of God 
you laid down your perfect life
you are the sacrifice
Jesus son of God
you are Jesus son of God

you took our sin 
you bore our shame
you rose to life
you defeated the grave
a love like this the world has never known

on the altar of our praise let there be no higher name
Jesus son of God
you laid down your perfect life
you are the sacrifice
Jesus son of God
you are Jesus son of God

be lifted higher than all you've overcome
your name be louder than any other song
there is no power that can come against your love
the cross was enough, the cross was enough

(thanks for letting me share!)  Happy Monday :)
