in deep and trembling tones

I wrote a new song with the boys (being Joseph, Steven, Nathan and Holden) because they asked if I would work with them. So God is His kindness just sorta threw it together, and some repetitive things that have been stirring in my heart spilled out into this song. It is understanding that knowing God and His love isn't the whole picture. To see, from the narrative standpoint, the fullness of His justice and wrath and what happened on the cross, we begin to understand God more, and to know what will happen to those who aren't going to be saved. We fear God rightly. We love God responsively. We resolve that agreeing with and believing the hard things of God just as much as the easy things, is what we must do as Christians.

Additionally, I wanted a song of praise to God. I was struck with the thought of: 'Once we get to a point of satisfaction in giving God praise, we've lost it, because we can never give God enough praise. That is why he created eternity and made us fit to live with him forever, to do just that.' Heavy handed heart.

I pray so much that people engage and worship their Creator. I pray so much that I do the same. Seeing a church full of people who don't want to worship makes me think they aren't excited for Heaven, and they aren't on track with loving God how they ought to.

Below are the lyrics - simple and repetitive for 7 minutes with huge musical builds. We are going to play it this weekend for the Church. Soli Deo Gloria.

Your Love

Your love, your love, your love, brings me life
Your love, your love, your love, makes all things right
Your love, your love, your love, is all I need
Your love, your love, your love, has made me free

Your justice and wrath are right
In Your perfect ways
But equally powerful
Is Your love and grace
How great is Your name, Yahweh
The angels rejoice
In secret You meet me with
A still small voice
