Late night musings

Up late with a nagging cough that won't let me sleep. So as I slurp down my tea and honey, I thought I would share this new found song. Matt Maher is new to my music radar (and I'll gladly confess it's my husband who introduces me to almost all my music). I got to sing this with Josh last week for our college group and the more we practiced it the more I fell in love with the words to this song. I love in the bridge the call it gives to the church to stand in the light of the gospel, not the shame of sin. What powerful words to remind us that God in Christ has conquered sin and death by the death of His Son! How much I have to be thankful for!
You can listen to the song here.

Christ is Risen

Let no one caught in sin remain
Inside the lie of inward shame
But fix our eyes upon the cross
And run to Him who showed great love
And bled for us
Freely You've bled for us

{Chorus}

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with Him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Beneath the weight of all our sin
You bowed to none but heaven's will
No scheme of hell, no scoffer's crown
No burden great can hold You down
In strength You reign
Forever let Your church proclaim

{Bridge}
O death, where is your sting?
O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light
The glory of God has defeated the night

O death, where is your sting?
O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light
Our God is not dead
He's alive! He's alive!
