♫Undying Love♫

As of last weekend (Easter weekend) I have been hooked on John Mayer... but I am also hooked on something totally different than John Mayer when it comes to music: Sovereign Grace. Very interesting mix, I know. Mayer and Sovereign Grace don't go... at all... but it's what I have been in the mood for. This post thought, I am not wanting to talk about John Mayer.
To go into a little more into detail, I've been listening to a lot of Sovereign Grace's cd Sons and Daughters (one of my favorites). Song #9 is called Undying Love, and this is the song I have on repeat. Here are the lyrics.

My ears had heard of You, now I have seen
This bitter sweetness in Your agony
My heart was far from You, but You drew me near
With loving kindness dried every tear

And I can see You
Bearing all my shame on the cross
I can hear You cry out, “It is done”
O Jesus, Your sacrifice was more than enough
In Your death I see undying love

My heart is broken and I’m down on my knees
To see my Savior suffering for me
But You descended, lifting me up
Washing my feet, filling my cup
It's a short song when it comes to the lyrics, but what a deep song it is! My heart overflows with joy everytime I hear it. And I'm not kidding when I say I have it on repeat.
My ears had heard of You, now I have seen! My heart was far from You, but You drew me near! Lately, and I'm not sure if it's cause of it being Easter season or not, but I've been very greatful for His work on the cross. On the way to Baton Rouge, I read Matthew 27:24-61, and started to get chocked up in the car. The part that I really got chocked up was Matthew 27:46 when Jesus says "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" It just really hit me, he did that for me! He took my place on the cross. How greatful I am because of it! "It is done"!!!! Isn't that something to sing about?
I've had conversations in the past where people have said, "it was such a horrible thing. How can it be happy?" Yes, I do agree, it was very horrible. Someone having nails drived into their hands and feet to a wooden cross, beaten, cut, peirced by a crown of thorns... and stay up there for hours. That's very horrible! But the good and wonderful thing about it is, he did it for me! He did it for you! And not only that, but he rose again! He defeated death! What an amazing thing that is! His sacrifice was more than enough!
