CHRIST DIED FOR GOD
...an Easter hymn on the glory of the cross



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”,
Salvation come 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

No matter how many times I've heard it, this song still raises the chill-bumps. It just may be your finest.

One of my favorite songs. Used it as one of the tracks on a computer fired fireworks show for an end of summer picnic I hosted years ago. I found most of Steve's songs on Spotify but not this one or the Mercy in the Wilderness Album.
