This is a pretty neat version of this awesome song. Read through the lyrics if you get a chance. It’s a humbling and amazing thing to consider that the cause and sustenance of our lives laid down His for us. And it’s a wonderful thing that this wasn’t an act of defeat, but an attack on sin and death.
Though the Earth Cried out for blood Satisfied her hunger was Her billows calmed on raging seas for the souls on men she craved
Sun and moon from balcony Turned their head in disbelief Their precious Love would taste the sting disfigured and disdained
On Friday a thief On Sunday a King Laid down in grief But awoke with keys Of Hell on that day The first born of the slain The Man Jesus Christ Laid death in his grave
So three days in darkness slept The Morning Sun of righteousness But rose to shame the throes of death And over turn his rule
Now daughters and the sons of men Would pay not their dues again The debt of blood they owed was rent When the day rolled a new
On Friday a thief On Sunday a King Laid down in grief But awoke holding keys To Hell on that day The first born of the slain The Man Jesus Christ Laid death in his grave
On Friday a thief On Sunday a King Laid down in grief But awoke with keys Of Hell on that day The first born of the slain The Man Jesus Christ Laid death in his grave
He has cheated Hell and seated Us above the fall In desperate places He paid our wages One time once and for all
Verse 1: You are the First and the Last Beginning and the End The promise of One whoÂ’s to come The future is in Your hands Calling the light with all the Earth we will sing
Verse 2: You are the Author of love Our freedom is in Your name Embracing the cross there for us Brought us to life again Calling the love with all we are let us sing
Chorus: God our Hope and our Salvation Worthy of all the praise Be our light everlasting Great is Your name Jesus the First and the Last
Verse 3: Show us the way of Your love Lead us towards the truth Stir up the fire in us To live out this life for you Calling Your name Jesus forever we’ll sing
Bridge: Every heart every nation will hear the sound As the light breaks through the darkness and Your name rings loud Every distant horizon will meet as one Singing holy is Your name We sing holy is Your name.
This is my second chance This is no song and dance You came in and renewed a right spirit This is grace at its best This is taking a restless, messed up heart and having you clear it I can feel the weight is lifting I’m barely staying on the ground And I can feel the wait is over Finally the lost is found [Chorus] So, this is what it feels like to live life So, this is breathing air for the very first time The Son of man, He came here to give life And in return He asking for mine I’ve Been captured by grace I’m not going away I’m Yours to take I was down for the count I was all but knocked out When I heard pardon for the interruption Then like out of blue Out came glorious You You picked me up without barely any introduction You won my heart by a landslide You tend to do that every time So, everything I have is Yours now Even my very life So, this is what it feels like to live life So, this is breathing air for the very first time The Son of man, He came here to give life And in return He asking for mine Well, I’ve Been captured by grace I’m not going away I’m Yours to take Your kindness leads me to repentance Leads me to the cross, which leads me to forgiveness So, I’m counting it all as lost So, this is what it feels like to live life So, this is breathing air for the very first time The Son of man, He came here to give life And in return He asking for mine So, this is what it feels like to live life So, this is breathing air for the very first time The Son of man, He came here to give life And in return He asking for mine I’ve been captured by grace I’m not going away I’m Yours to take So, this is what it feels like to live life (I’m Yours to take) So, this is what it feels like to live life (I’m Yours to take) So, this is what it feels like to live life (I’m Yours to take) So, this is what it feels like to live life (I’m Yours to take)
You live among the least of these The weary and the weak And it would be a tragedy For me to turn away
All my needs You have supplied When I was dead You gave me life So how could I not give it away so freely? And I´ll
Follow You into the homes of the broken Follow You into the world Meet the needs for the poor and the needy God Follow You into the world
Use my hands use my feet To make Your kingdom come
To the corners of the earth Until Your work is done
Faith without works is dead On the cross Your blood was shed So how could we not give it away so freely?
Follow You into the homes of the broken Follow You into the world ooooh Meet the needs for the poor and the needy God Follow You into the world yeaah (repeat)
And I give all myself, I give all myself I give all myself to YOU (repeat)
Follow You into the homes of the broken Follow You into the world (Follow YOU) Meet the needs for the poor and the needy God Follow You into the world
Follow You into the homes of the broken Follow You into the world Meet the needs for the poor and the needy God
Well the past is playing with my head And failure knocks me down again I’m reminded of the wrong That I have said and done And that devil just wont let me forget
In this life I know what I’ve been But here in your arms I know what I am
I’m forgiven I’m forgiven And I don’t have to carry The weight of who I’ve been Cause I’m forgiven
My mistakes are running through my mind And I’ll relive my days, in the middle of the night When I struggle with my pain, wrestle with my pride Sometimes I feel alone, and I cry
In this life I know what I’ve been But here in your arms I know what I am
When I don’t fit in and I don’t feel like I belong anywhere When I don’t measure up to much in this life Oh, I’m a treasure in the arms of Christ ‘cause
Lyrics:
Peel back our ribs again And stand inside of our chest We just want to love you We just want to love you yeah
Peel back the veil a time Let us see you with our naked eyes We just want to love you We just want to love you yeah
Skeleton bones stand at the sound Of eternity on The lips of the found Grave stones roll to the rhythm of the sound of you
Skeleton bones stand at the sound Of eternity on The lips of the found Yeah so separate those doors Let the sun of resurrection in
Oh let us Adore the son of glory Dressed in love Open up your gates Before him Crown him Stand him up
We want your blood to flow inside our body and We want your wind inside our lungs We just want to love you We just want to love you yeah
Skeleton bones stand at the sound Of eternity on The lips of the found Grave stones roll to the rhythm of the sound of you Skeleton bones stand at the sound Of eternity on The lips of the found Yeah so separate those doors Let the sun of resurrection in
Oh let us Adore the son of glory Dressed in love Open up your gates Before him Crown him Stand him up
