here is love

this is a great hymn of the church. unfamiliar to most americans because it is an old english song. here are some facts of its origination:

words: william rees (1802-1883), vers­es 1-2 (dyma gar­iad fel y mor­oedd); will­iam will­iams pos­sib­ly wrote vers­es 3-4; trans­lat­ed from welsh to eng­lish by wil­liam ed­wards in the bap­tist book of praise, 1900.

music: ro­bert low­ry, 1876

it was contemporized by matt redman for the passion cd, passion hymns: ancient and modern. he added a short bridge that really allows us to just worship God because of His great love. take a look at these lyrics (all 4 verses) and may it remind us of how much our God loves us.

here is love vast as the ocean

here is love vast as the ocean
loving kindness as the flood
when the Prince of life, our ransom
shed for us His precious blood
who His love will not remember?
who can cease to sing His praise?
He can never be forgotten
throughout Heaven's eternal days

on the mount of crucifixion
fountains opened deep and wide
through the floodgates of God's mercy
flowed a vast and gracious tide
grace and love, like mighty rivers
poured incessant from above
and Heaven's peace and perfect justice
kissed a guilty world in love

let us all His love accepting
love Him ever all our days
let us seek His Kingdom only
and our lives be to His praise
He alone shall be our glory
nothing in the world we see
He has cleansed and sanctified us
He Himself has set us free

in His truth He does direct me
by His Spirit through His Word
and His grace my need is meeting
as i trust in Him, my Lord
all His fullness He is pouring
in His love and power in me
without measure
full and boundless
as i yield myself to Thee

matt redman's bridge:

no love is higher, no love is wider
no love is deeper, no love is truer
no love is higher, no love is wider
no love is like Your love oh Lord

new songs for October

we did a few new songs in October and wanted to put these up so you could download them if you liked them.

Steve Fee Rocked

Okay so Levi and I had our date night tonight and we went to hear Steve Fee, Meredith Andrews, and Phil Wickham. We actually went because of Phil Wickham. Steve Fee rocked the stinkin' house. He was awesome. His spirit and passion and level of intensity was so cool. It really was awesome just to be there and get to worship with a totally different group of believers. I got tickled when he played, "We Shine." Fusion played his song, "We Shine" at camp. We did the fist pump and everything. I thought Jonathan came up with that but apparently, it's a Steve Fee thing because he was rocking the pump. Levi and I had a lot of fun. We stayed for a few of Phil Wickham's songs. He was good. His voice is killer good and super clear, it's really kind of freaky how good his voice is. We're old and tired so we headed on home.
