I got to see Hillsong last night at Hannah's home church and they were incredible. They sang Hosanna, which is one of my very favorite songs ever, and the experience was such a blessing. But they've also got a fairly new song out called "We the Redeemed" that is totally the song of my heart at the moment. Here are the lyrics:
There is nothing like your love
No exchange for all you gave
To be welcomed into life
So I can know a love that saves' great song!
And now forever to belong
To walk with you for all my days
There's no greater love from this
You are the author and the way
This is the sound of the redeemed
Rising up to praise the king
Our hope is in you
This is the sound of the redeemed
Rising up to praise the king
Singing
Glorious, glorious one
You have saved us
Honour and power and praise to the savior
You are the answer
You are the answer
You come with power, come with fire
As we lift your name on high
Join with all the saints to sing
Bringing honour to the king
Glory his glory has won
He will save us
Honor and power race to the savior
You are the answer you are the answer
We The Redeemed hear us singing
You are holy you are holy
I think my favorite line in the whole song is "You are the answer," because it couldn't possibly be more true. We're constantly searching for answers as to how things work, why things happen, who we should trust--He's the answer. To all of our questions, our cries, our pleas, our shouts. I'm praying that all of us would remember this truth; that when something down here doesn't make sense, we would look up for the answer.
People make mistakes, disasters happen, things get ugly; but nevertheless we shouldn't allow them to get complicated. No matter how confusing, twisted, heartbreaking the problem, the answer remains simple. Jesus.
Just give them Jesus.
