Coming soon to a couch near you! We’ve been booking some intimate home shows in the Portland area this summer and are looking for some more homes to invade. So if you would like to host an Acoustic Living Room Concert please let us know!
For By His Wounds We Are Redeemed (live)
This is a new modern hymn that I wrote yesterday (May 30, 2012) after being inspired listening to Owl City’s version of the Stuart Townend “How Deep The Father’s Love For Us”. We are currently working on a new hymns project in the studio that includes several hymns that I have modified with new melodies and sometimes additional lyrics. This is my attempt at writing a new original hymn in the style of Charles Wesley with a modern worship chorus feel. This song will be included on that project that we hope to release in the near future.
Lyrics
For By His Wounds We Are Redeemed
While still at odds, God’s enemy
Yet Christ did die to set me free
From chains devised by mine own hand
Yet by the nails in His I stand
In righteousness, forgiven, free
Now is the way God looks at me
No longer sin and filthy rags
The Lamb’s white wool upon my back
For by His wounds we are redeemed
Ransomed from death’s cold sting are we
The debt we owed, but could not pay
Is canceled now in Jesus’ name
For by His wounds we are redeemed
Perfect and sinless, blemish free
Christ’s sacrifice has washed me clean
Now by His blood I am made new
A child of God in spirit and truth
Amazing grace so undeserved
Sweet melody that I’ve now heard
Resounds within this sinner’s heart
His stripes gave me a brand new start
His death and resurrection prove
His words: “The Way, the Life, the Truth”
Eternal life in Him is yours
If in your heart you call Him, “Lord.”
