Song Notes...
Sometimes we forget that God was under no obligation to even lift a finger to save us.
It would have been perfectly just to leave us in the guilt of our sins. But the Lord is not only a God of justice but also a God of mercy. That last word…mercy…was and is our only hope. It reminds me of this heart-wrenching passage from the Psalms:
Remember your mercy, O LORD, and your steadfast love, for they have been from of old.
Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to your steadfast love remember me, for the sake of your goodness, O LORD! Psalm 25:6-7
Though He was under no obligation to do anything but deliver justice what did our Triune God purpose to do instead?
God’s only Son left His throne of splendor, was brutally crucified, conquered death and lives for us. It staggers the mind but even at this very moment, He is praying for us! (Hebrews 7:25, Romans 8:34)
If you are in Christ Jesus, remember this always: you are crowned with an extravagant grace and a love that is stronger than death.
Join with the angels to bring glory to our God of endless mystery.
Angels and Archangels Sing
Come adore the newborn King
Fall on bended knee
Wise men bring an offering
Treasures all for Thee
Angels and archangels sing
Praise and glory to the King
God of endless mystery
Left His throne for me
Come behold the Holy One
Arms stretched open wide
Here the Father gave His Son
To lay down His life
Angels and archangels sing
Praise and glory to the King
God of endless mystery
Crucified for me
Christ is risen from the dead
Ever-living One
Sin and death and hell have fled
Praise to God the Son
Angels and archangels sing
Praise and glory to the King
God of endless mystery
Conquered death for me
To the Father and the Son
And the Spirit be
Never ending praise and love
Bless the Trinity
Angels and archangels sing
Praise and glory to the King
God of endless mystery
All I am for Thee
