Praise to Jesus Christ

So every month, our worship team introduces a new song to our youth group. Last month's song was called "Praise to Jesus Christ" by Chasing Cadence.This week I'm going to post the lyrics because they are great.

You were left, despised, forsaken
man of sorrows, grief unspoken
to the cross our sins you carried
struck by God so it was finished there

Pierced alone for our transgressions
crushed for our iniquities
we like sheep have gone astray
for our debt the price you paid

Chorus:
Praise to Jesus Christ in heaven
you in love for us were given
God's great mercy coming through you
Lamb of God who takes away our sins

Holy God was pleased to crush you
as the guiltless sacrifice
raised in power you give salvation
God's good pleasure prospers in your hand

Final Lord of all creation
heaven and earth will sing your praises
Lion of Judah, lamb of slaughter
of your worthy name we'll always sing

I just want to mention one thing about the chorus that Jason Lapp (our worship leader) mentioned to us. Notice that it says "God's great mercy coming through you." This implies the position of Christ being our Mediator, which is an extremely big deal. To see why, look at my older posts on mediation: Part 1 and Part 2
