I go through different stages with music that i listen to. Since ive gotten my new phone , ive been able to listen to pandora pretty much whenever i want which is amazing, but something has been lacking. I have to admit i am a little bit of a music snob and so i get kinda picky sometimes, but more than anthing i haven't been listening to all christian music all the time. the other stuff i have been listening to isnt' necessarily unholy but its just not "christian" themed. I like secular music, but ive noticed that i miss singing about God and truths of the bible.
like if im having a bad day or if im wanting to focus on Christ a song (for me at least) helps me focus, and with the stuff ive been listening to lately its harder and harder for me to recall christian music as i go through my repertoire of music in my head. In know im still going to listen to secular things, but right now i just miss christian music and letting music about christ fill me head. So yesterday that was what i listened to and i sang along and then i woke up with a sore throat because of singing so much, but all of this is to say that one of the songs i was listening to was so great i just wanted to share it, and since the last two posts have been songs im going to add to it.
So here it is --> The Atonement Q & A
ok so its not letting me paste my song so im copying it into a comment.
enjoy,
grace and peace sarah bean

Who is God? God is the universe’s Creator
ReplyDeleteAnd Sustainer plus the only Savior, there is no one greater
He triune, holy, omnipotent, omniscient, absolute
Loving, sovereign and righteous are a few of His attributes
How do we know this? Well, we know this from the Bible
Where God has revealed Himself- anything else is just an idol
What’s the Bible about? Man’s complete ruin in sin
And what God has done in Christ to bring us to Him again
What is sin? Sin is the breaking of God’s law
Plus our condition, which means from birth we all got flaws
What’s the result? The result is by nature we’re God’s enemies
And must pay the penalty unless God provides the remedy
What the remedy? The remedy is the cross of Christ
Where He suffered all the strikes for the lawless type
I’ve been rescued by the Lamb, I’m convinced that He’s risen
And blessed is the man whose sins are forgiven!
Chorus
Just fall back, and with the eyes of faith
Behold the beauty of surprising grace
Because the Lamb has died, third day He had to rise
He’s magnified- God’s wrath is satisfied
Just fall back- there’s an atonement now
The cross of Christ is holy ground
Because the Lamb has died, third day He had to rise
He’s magnified- God’s wrath is satisfied
Verse 2
Regeneration- the Holy Spirit’s true work in His love
To the elect, who receive new birth from above
Expiation- expiation means God’s removed my filthiness
The old testament type was the goat into the wilderness
Redemption- we’ve been freed from slavery to sin
And His very own blood is the price He paid, my friend
Propitiation- Propitiation means since the Lamb has died
His work is finished- God’s wrath is satisfied
Adoption- adoption means God is now my Father
I got the hottest Poppa and by the Spirit holler Abba
Reconciliation means there’s no more enmity
God is now a friend to me, we’re no longer enemies
Justification- God declares us righteous
Sanctification- we’re being made into His likeness
Glorification- that’s what happens at the finish
When God conforms believers perfectly to Christ’s image!
Chorus
Verse 3
God’s grace is magnificent, He slayed His innocent
Son- through faith and repentance we get the benefits
What is faith? Faith is a gift from God- when we receive this
We trust and treasure the person and finished work of Jesus
Repentance? Repentance is turning from your sin
And trusting Christ as the Spirit cleanses you within
What is grace? Oh, grace is unmerited favor
Our inheritance major ‘cause we cherish the Savior
Right, and if I may quote again, we were doomed with Satan
But believers get Jesus’ righteousness through imputation
Imputation? God takes Jesus’ righteousness amount
Through faith He credits it into the Christian’s account
Anything else? Well, I guess this overview must suffice
But none of this is possible apart from union with Christ
And finally, once you know the ways of the Lord than the
only thing that you can say is Soli Deo Gloria!
