In contrast to the religious authorities, a man who really did have reason to brag about himself and to refuse to forgive and accept people came and did the opposite. CCLI# 4878340

Contemporary hymns and new worship music
CONTEMPORARY HYMNS AND NEW WORSHIP MUSIC These are acoustic worship songwriting demos with chords sheets. IF YOU'RE A SINGER, BAND, OR WORSHIP LEADER/PASTOR, FEEL FREE TO USE these modern hymns and worship songs in live settings, and to reproduce lyric sheets for Power Point, overhead transparency, or whatever you use. THE MODERN HYMN MOVEMENT: The recent explosion of contemporary hymns and inroads made into churches by Indelible Grace, Stuart Townend, Keith and Kristyn Getty and other modern hymn writers has done wonders for reminding us of the relevance of old hymns and turning again to new hymns crafted in old literary patterns that expressed theological truths in ways that many modern song-constructs cannot follow. I work in this tradition, writing deeply theological worship songs that can be adapted for various musical genres, while presenting the gospel in the depth that hymns are famous for. Click the "Lyrics/story tab next to each song on my MP3 music page for chords, as well as a list of themes/liturgical settings for each song and CCLI #s. YOU CAN ALSO DOWNLOAD OVERHEAD TRANSFER SHEETS, chord sheets, and lyrics to some of these songs by looking up my name in the Artist List of these two sites: Just send me a note letting me know who/where you are -- I'd like to know! .

Lyrics
__G______________C In splendid, hallowed temple halls, __G________Em_____D In courts and crowded streets _______G_______________C Walked priests and teachers of the Law __Em___Am__D In pious majesty, ____C______________D Who loved cold justice, eye-for-eye, ____G_____________C Who sold forgiveness for a price, _______Em________Am Showed honor to the qualified ____C______D___G And scorn to enemies. _____G____________C From heaven down to manger stall ___G_____Em_____D The Man of Sorrow came -- ____G_________C The victim of the broken Law ____Em___Am_____D Yet, Name Above All Names, ____C_______________D Who bore the wrath due everyone ___G________________C For crimes that they, not He, had done, ___Em___________Am Forbearing servant, God the Son ____C______________D Who wore His mockers' shame. (chorus) __D_________________C______G Forgiveness divine! Like no other one ____D____________C____________G Your Spirit is mine, to do as You have done. ____Em_________________Am You paid all my debt and You let me go free, ____C_________D_______G And gave me forgiveness divine. G C O gift of Christ, O Holy Ghost G Em D By whom I must forgive, G C Who makes my heart His duty-post Em Am D And teaches me to live: C D O keep the cross before my eyes -- G C The only fount that purifies -- Em Am Forgives me daily and supplies C D G The grace that I must give. G C Now taking up our cross each day G Em D Like the anointed One, G C For enemies, we learn to pray, Em Am D Forgiving everyone. C D To all the taunts of passers-by, G C Lord help us bid them "Come and die," Em Am That they, like we, may find new life C D And all will live as one. CCLI# 4878340
