Once again, I am blessed by the music lyrics of some of the contemporary music we’re learning. While I miss the traditional hymns sung in parts corporately in worship, I can use them in my personal devotions and do. But Salvation Song by Stuart Townend and Andrew Small is just touching my heart as I approach the season of Advent. I can almost hear it sung by a monastery choir in Gregorian Chant style, can’t you? If you haven’t heard it, look it up on Google or elsewhere. Here… are the words. May they give your day meaning:
“Loved before the dawn of time, Chosen by my Maker, Hidden in my Saviour,
I am His and He is mine, Cherished for eternity.
When I’m stained with guilt and sin, He is there to lift me, Heal me and forgive me;
Gives me strength to stand again, Stronger than I was before.
So with every breath that I am given I will sing salvation’s song;
And I’ll join the chorus of creation Giving praise to Christ alone.
All the claims of Satan’s curse Lifted through His offering, Satisfied through suffering;
All the blessings He deserves Poured on my unworthy soul.
Singing glory, honour, wisdom, power To the Lamb upon the throne; Hallelujah, I will lift Him high. Hallelujah I will sing.
Stars will fade and mountains fall; Christ will shine forever, Love’s unfading splendour.
Earth and heaven will bow in awe, Joining in salvation’s song.” Stuart Townend & Andrew Small Copyright © 2007 Thankyou Music – See more at: http://www.stuarttownend.co.uk/song/salvations-song/…
