Hark! A Thrilling Voice Is Sounding

I found these words to a 5th-century Christmas hymn, and put them to some new music. I hope you like it!

Comfort Ye

This is a new Christmas song I recently heard on a CD by Daniel Renstrom. Hope you enjoy it.





Comfort Ye by Daniel Renstrom

Comfort ye heavy laden , The Son of God has come
His kingdom shines with lavish mercy, For those who’s hearts are drawn

Those who dwell in darkness , See the of Christ invades the night
Shining from His cross of anguish , His death brings many life

In Christ we know hope for the hurting
In Christ we know love for the lost
In Christ we know no other one can save

Comfort ye weary Christian , For just as Christ was raised
He will soon return to gather those, Who follow Him by faith

Immanuel, God with us
Son of God, Hallelujah

Came To My Rescue

One of my favorite Hillsong songs.

Glory to God Forever

Another of my new favorite songs. This one is by the band Fee. Their new cd is really good:

The Gospel of Grace

I just ran across these song lyrics over at the Reformed Praise website. The song reminds us that the gospel is primary to our lives as Christians, not something we acknowledge once and then move on to bigger and better things. The gospel is our only hope in life and in death. Thank God for the sufficiency of the gospel for every part of our lives; let us not be ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God unto salvation!

The gospel of grace: from before time began
God chose to redeem me and fashioned a plan
That holy and blameless and unto His praise
I might be adopted to show forth His grace.
The gospel of grace: in the fullness of time
God sent a redeemer who, doing no crime,
Would die for my sin and then conquer the grave
To purchase the ones He was given to save.

The gospel of grace came when dead in my sin,
It told me of Jesus and pointed to Him.
When faith and repentance invaded my heart
Forgiveness, full pardon, my God did impart.
The gospel of grace now reminds me each day
In sin and in failure His favor will stay
For not through self-loathing or deeds that I’ve done
But only in Jesus acceptance is won.

The gospel of grace when I take my last breath
Will be my one comfort to bear me through death;
And should I die peaceful or suffer great pain,
This gospel assures me that death will be gain.
The gospel of grace, for eternity long,
Will be my delight and the theme of my song;
With saints from all nations I’ll join to proclaim:
All glory to Jesus, the Lamb who was slain!

The gospel of grace, O how precious indeed,
Past, present, and future meets all of my needs;
So until the day when I look on Your face–
Lord, keep me believing the gospel of grace.
