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! .

Story behind the song
I'm a folkie, no matter what style or structure I'm writing in, and like all good folkies, I like story songs. This hymn tells the story of Jesus and His love.
Lyrics
-------------G----Em__Am___D The rising tide, the Spirit's call, ___Em___Am____D_____G The power of the perfect King _________________G____Em__Am____D Sweeps through the earth, subdues the strong ______Em____Am___D______G Erases death's cruel, mocking sting. ___________Em______Am__D God entered Time, came as a babe, ________Am______C____D Became a man, cast Satan down. _____________G_Em__Am__D Watched as he fell like lightning ________C_____D______G From the heavens to the ground. (refrain) _____G/B Rising Tide (rising tide) __C_______D___________D7 Of righteousness (righteousness) ___Am_____D____G The Kingdom is at hand. What Satan thought was victory Became the means of his defeat. The Lord, on cruel Calvary, Crushed Satan's head beneath His feet. Christ conquered death and cancelled sin Ascended to the Father's throne. Then sent His Spirit, like the wind, To draw us in, to lead us home. (repeat refrain) And now Hell's stronghold on the earth Is plundered by the risen Lord. And, powerless, the demons roar When souls are fed the Living Word. No force can stop the spreading Church, No foe can stem the rising tide Of those alive in Second Birth Through Him who lives though crucified. (repeat refrain) Still rising tide, still flowing free, Bursts the dam the devil raised. And surging on to victory: Christ the champion be praised! King of kings, and Lord of lords, He wil come down to earth again. And love will cover all the world In the kingdom without end. CCLI #4877547
