Here's something I've been working on. More in the devotional space, but I'm trying to see if there would be a way to adapt it to something a bit more singable. Would love any ideas! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/LIbVxyO-kuI

Hi, friends … This is a “song skeleton” … but I like the basics. Suggestions welcome. Update: I moved the key to D (I think) and made a few changes. New recording. Look Up VERSE 1: Look up and see the mountains And know that they shall stand. Consider their foundations Established by his hand. All things must work together As he ordains above. Unshakeable his purpose Unchangeable his love. TURN: So lift your wea - ry head … Look up. CHORUS: No throne … is higher than his No triumph … is greater than his No trouble … is too great for him Look up. VERSE 2: Look up from where you’ve fallen Behold where Jesus stands. Consider your salvation And see his nail-scarred hands. Your failures have been covered Completely by his blood. No one can separate you From his eternal love. TURN: So lift your wea - ry head … Look up.

Greetings all, Here's one that I cowrote with my friends Michael Logsdon and Barbara Chen. Verse 1 What did the cross achieve When Jesus bled and died No greater love to see Than Christ the crucified And do I come in vain No Jesus took my shame And all my guilt is cast away In the shadow of the cross Verse 2 Where is the King of kings Who wholly justifies Behold he here redeems And justly satisfies Who else could pay the cost Who else would bear such loss And take the wrath of God for us In his wounds upon the cross Verse 3 O death where is your sting That fruit of Adam's doom Is crushed at Calvary And buried in the tomb The finished work of grace Will be our hymn of praise All glory be to Christ who saves Hallelujah for the cross Tag 1 The finished work of grace Will be our hymn of praise All glory be to Christ who saves Hallelujah for the cross

Here's a quick first draft of a communion song or song of confession. Sorry to mess up the end of the chorus...guess I'm not sure how it should go. Does it need a bridge? I think I've stolen the melody...?? All help gratefully received! V1] Near to the cross of our Savior We bring our burdens of shame; All that is broken and wanting We lay before him, again. V2] Baring our deep imperfections Here, where Perfection was killed, Pardon and love without limits Flow through the blood that he spilled. CH] Streams of mercy unrestrained Tumble down like holy rain Beneath the cross, Beneath the cross. Strongholds crumble, sweep away In the rushing swells of grace Beneath the cross, Beneath the cross of Jesus. V3] Here he bore cosmic rejection, Justified wrath for mankind. Driven to save his beloved, Christ paid our debt with his life. V4] Nothing can now separate us, Neither the future nor past; Torrents of love spring, unceasing, From the One holding us fast. Streams of mercy…

Hello! @Sarah Steele and I have been working on this song about Jesus' second coming, based off of Malachi 4:1-3 and Zechariah 12. We would love your input on the lyrics more specifically, there are some spots where we can't find the right phrase. If you have any other input about the overall song that you think should be reworked please let us know. Thanks! VERSE 1 When you appear in glory, You will break open the skies. All of your foes will tremble, For the Victor has arrived! And when you appear in power, You will set creation free. All of the earth will worship And will shout its jubilee! // For the end of suffering --or-- And when you appear in power With a voice of roaring seas We will fall down and worship At the sound of your decree --or-- And when you appear in power With a face of blazing sun We will fall down and worship For the/our victory is won CHORUS On that day, we will see the Living Cornerstone. On that day, you will wipe our tears away. On that day, every knee will bow before your throne Oh, how we long, how we long — for that day! VERSE 2 When you appear with fire, You will rectify all wrong. Sin will be crushed forever, For your righteous hand is strong. And when you appear in splendor, Mighty angels by your side, You’ll bring us home to Heaven, For you’ve purified your bride. BRIDGE Come, Lord Jesus, come, oh come! (We are waiting here for you.) Come, Lord Jesus, come, oh come! (Come and make all things new.) Come, Lord Jesus, come, oh come! (We are waiting here for you) Come, Lord Jesus, All: Jesus, come, oh come! FINAL CHORUS On that day, you will rise with healing in your wings On that day, the dead will rise in victory?? // we will stand before our King?? On that day, ever near, you fin’lly will appear. Oh, how we long, how we wait To see the dawn of that day When you will make all things new—on that day!
