He Is Our God

I’m excited to introduce a new song this weekend. The title is

He Is Our God, and it will be released publicly this Friday, Nov 17, on Sovereign Grace’s new recording, Prayers of the Saints Live.

Who can light the fires
Of a thousand burning suns
Blazing in the heavens?
There is only One
He is our God

 

This song declares the Kingship of our creator God. It reminds us of His power over all and the ultimate act of power and grace that saves us.

Romans chapter 5 beginning at verse 12 reads:

Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned…But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many…Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men.

Holy, You alone are holyMatchless in Your glory, holy God
 
I hope you enjoy the song and take some time to listen to it a few times to get to know it before we sing together on Sunday morning.

 

Keep worshiping!



Worship Songs to Know!

We add new worship songs about once per month so we have two new songs for January and February we’d like you to get to know. 

O Praise the Name (Anastasis) is a powerful and very singable worship song that declares our active praise to God while reciting the redemption story through its verses. It starts with the crucifixion and ends with the resurrection and points us to eternity. Our congregation quickly adopted this one and sang it the very first time as if they’ve been singing it for years. That is a great sign of a very singable worship song. There are many, many wonderful Christian songs being released but not all of them have this special quality of being truly a congregational song. Enjoy this song as you get to know it.
1000 Tongues has a great driving feel and brings some needed energy and excitement to our worship sets. While the title is reminiscent of the great hymn of O For 1000 Tongues to Sing it doesn’t have the same theological depth of that hymn, but it certainly has its own important role in congregational worship. Through the simplicity of the very singable chorus and the the energy it draws from us as we participate in worship, we are encouraged to loudly proclaim the great truth of God’s grace and glory. It is a song that unites us in singing praise to our Lord and encouraging active participatory worship. 

Do you use Spotify? Many people have found it a great resource for listening and enjoying music. If you do, be sure to check out our Spotify list titled “Our Songs” which highlights many of the songs we regularly sing in worship. This list can be helpful to get to know the songs we sing, but also can be a very encouraging and uplifting grouping of songs as we listen throughout our days. Check it out!
