O, For a Thousand Tongues to Sing / Wesley, Crowder
A great song that Charles Wesley wrote in honor of the day he surrendered to Christ.
How Deep the Father’s Love for Us / Stuart Townsend
This song tells God’s story of salvation and asks the question why we a sinner should benefit from the victory of Christ’s resurrection. Paul writes a song in the book of Philippines that emphasizes this sacrifice.
“Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.” Phil. 2:6-11.
Jesus Messiah / Tomlin
This song is clear about the identity of Christ and what His sacrifice means for us. In the last part of the Philippines passage we see the power of Jesus’ name and that all will worship Him. His name is above all names, he is the Messiah.
God of Justice / Hughes
Worship is a verb not a noun and this song prays that God will keep us from just singing and move us into action.
Mark 10:45, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
