The Battle And The Blessing
#FridayFire
I’m not ashamed to say I had September 12 marked down as a day CityAlight would be coming out with some new music. In my opinion, there is nobody writing better worship music than Jonny Robinson, Rich Thompson, and crew these days. Even though I can’t personally sing well, read music, or play any instrument, I have so much appreciation for those who pour their everything into creating worship music. It’s still one of my favorite ways to connect with God and offer these words of praise to Him. It’s the least we can do. Please enjoy this original from CityAlight church.
We did not bear the wounds that freed us
Or walk the road to Calvary
We did not share Your cup of suffering
And yet we share Your victory
We did not wear that heavy burden
Nor face the shame and agony
A crown of thorns was placed upon You
Now we are crowned with love and peace
Chorus
Praise the Lord, my God, now I am free
At the cross Your grace took hold of me
There You paid my debt, there You fought my fight
Yes, the battle was Yours and the blessing is mine
You chose to be a man of sorrows
That I can be a child of God
You stood and faced this world’s rejection
I stand, accepted by Your love
My sin was buried with the Savior
Now there is hope beyond the tomb
For You were raised again in glory
And I am raised to life in You
Forevermore to live with You!
