When we first look at a song I don't really pay attention to the words because I am listening for the bass line and trying to learn the song from a musical standpoint. When I got home from practice tonight I went over the songs with my acoustic (it helps to learn the lyrics better than playing with my bass) and I fell in love with the words. And it's right in my vocal range so I'm going to have this one stuck in my head all week (which is not a bad thing:) )
(Still forgot the B minors ;)
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One,
Bring many sons to glory
Behold the Man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice,
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

Title: Night Sky
It is one of my all-time favorite lyrics that doesn't (consistently) rhyme. In fact, it may be my all-time favorite lyric that doesn't consistently rhyme. So it would be hard to find a better song to get stuck in your head!
ReplyDeleteWell done! Even without the Bm {0:
ReplyDeleteThis one is fast becoming my new favorite as well!

I LOVE this song!!! I often have the kids play it just so I can sing with them. The words are wonderful!!!! Thanks for posting it so I can even sing along in the basement. :-) Maybe we can squeeze in a few minutes at the end of the day (or the beginning, or the middle or all of the above) to worship together on Sat. Can't wait to be withyour family......Mrs. B
