Lyrics: Uncreated One

I heard this song yesterday at a church, and it is just one of those songs that makes you stop and worship. I never heard the song before, so I looked it up when I got home, here are the lyrics:

Uncreated One

Holy uncreated One
Your beauty fills the skies
But the glory of Your majesty
Is the mercy in Your eyes

And worthy uncreated One
From heaven to earth come down
You laid aside Your royalty
To wear the sinner’s crown

And O great God be glorified
Our lives laid down, Yours magnified
And O great God be lifted high
There is none like You

Jesus, Savior, God’s own son
Risen, reigning Lord
Sustainer of the Universe
By the power of Your word

And O great God be glorified
Our lives laid down, Yours magnified
And O great God be lifted high
There is none like You

There is none like You
There is none like You

And when we see Your matchless face
In speechless awe we’ll stand
And there we’ll bow with grateful hearts
Unto the great I am

O great God be glorified
Our lives laid down, Yours magnified
O great God be lifted high
There is none like You
There is none like You

There is none like You

How Deep the Father’s Love

I heard this song today and with Easter right around the corner I thought it would be appropriate to post here. This is a fairly newer song/hymn and the words are strong. This song causes me to remember how deep the Father’s love is for me and I hope it will do the same for you!

How Deep the Father’s Love

How deep the Father’s love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
And make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory

Behold the man upon the cross
My sin upon His shoulder
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

Song – This is Our God with What Child is this?

We had a great service this morning at Vision and I was definitely blessed by this song: “This is Our God with What Child is this?” I included the MP3 in this post with the lyrics so that you can be blessed also. (Just click the on the player below to listen or download)

(Singers: Mariangela Simeon, Katherine Fies, & Jessyca McKinnon; Guitar: Scott Newton; Piano: Kristen Pearson)

Lyrics

Intro
What child is this, who, laid to rest on Mary’s lap, is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet while shepherd’s watch are keeping? 
This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds watch and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud, the Babe, the Son, the Glorious One
The babe, the son of Mary

Verse 1
Who is this child asleep in the manger?
Tender and mild, this intimate Stranger?
Recklessly, wildly loving a dangerous world
Who is this light invading our darkness?
Glorious might, the sun rising for us.
Conquering night, He captures the hardest of hearts
We sing:

Chorus 1
This is our God, living and breathing
Call Him courageous, relentless, and brave
This is our God, loving and reaching,
Scandalous mercy and mighty to save.
Hallelujah! This is our God!
Hallelujah! This is our God!
Hallelujah! This is our God!
Sing praise.

Verse 2
Who is this One who will not condemn us?
Why would He come to shoulder our sentence?
Nothing we’ve done will keep Him from giving us grace.
Who is this One we watch and we’re speechless?
God’s only Son embracing our weakness.
He overcomes all death and he frees us to live
And we sing:

Chorus 2 
This is our God, suffering and dying.
Call Him the Hero redeeming the lost.
This is our God, love sacrificing,
All that is holy, accepting our cross.
Hallelujah! This is our God!
Hallelujah! This is our God!
Hallelujah! This is our God!
Sing praise.
