CHRIST DIED FOR GOD

To finish up my weekend series of Easter-themed entries, I wish to post the lyrics to the powerful song, "Christ Died for God," which was penned in 1994 by Steve Camp and Rob Frazier, (using Romans 3:25 as a scripture reference).

As our observance of the Easter season slips away for 2006, may we daily continue to cling to the message of the cross, and keep it in our hearts always.

CHRIST DIED FOR GOD

CHRIST DIED FOR GOD AND GOD WAS SATISFIED WITH CHRIST,

PURE, UNBLEMISHED SACRIFICE

OH, SON OF GRACE

FOR WHO ARE WE TO BOAST

NOT OF WORKS THAT WE HAVE DONE

BUT BY FAITH IN GOD'S OWN SON

WE ARE SAVED

AND WE CRY HOLY

WORTHY IS THE LAMB

GOD'S LOVE REVEALED TO MAN

IN THE EARTH

AND WE CRY, HOLY

GLORY TO THE KING

THROUGH WHOM SALVATION BRINGS

THE NEW BIRTH

CHRIST DIED FOR GOD AND GOD HAS MADE HIM LORD OF ALL

FOR HE DRANK THE BITTER GALL

THE CUP OF WRATH

BUT HE ROSE IN MAJESTY

THAT GRACE MIGHT REIGN

THROUGH RIGHTEOUSNESS

BLESSED OBEDIENCE

OUR SABBATH REST

AND WE CRY HOLY

WORTHY IS THE LAMB

SALVATION COME TO MAN

IN THE EARTH

AND WE CRY, HOLY

GLORY TO THE KING

THROUGH WHOM SALVATION BRINGS

THE NEW BIRTH

WE CRY HOLY

WORTHY IS THE LAMB

SALVATION COME TO MAN

IN THE EARTH

WE CRY, HOLY

GLORY TO THE KING

THROUGH WHOM SALVATION BRINGS

THE NEW BIRTH

OH, THROUGH WHOM SALVATION BRINGS

THE NEW BIRTH
