Today’s song comes from a group I recently shared called Grace Collective – two pastors who write theologically robust songs with great melodies. I found this song and love the melody with the awesome lyrics based on Romans 8. I’m sure you’ll be humming this with me!
Chosen by a loving God
By no merit or will
Thought my days were dark with sin
And grace was foreign still
Gods sent grace in Christ his son
To save my hell bound soul
Hallelujah praise to Christ
I’m chosen by grace alone
When my soul was dead within
His spirit spoke so sweet
”Jesus shed his blood for you”
His earthly work complete
“Rise from sin and death’s dark hole
Rise and run to Christ”
I obeyed that heavenly call
And rose in marvellous light
What a day and what a sound
To hear the verdict made:
“Justified, condemned no more”
My boundless debt was paid
Christ imputed perfect life
And bound me in his grace
Righteousness that’s not my own
Will cover me all my days
When the course of life has run
And eyes have finally closed.
With my God in realms above
I’ll worship him enthroned
All my sin my pain my grief
I’ll never know again
Wholly truly glorified
Eternity’s just began
Tethered by your golden chain
Eternally secure
Praise to you my sovereign God
Forever and ever more
Hymn of the Day
