Focus on Worship: September 2005 Archives

This hymn text was written this past week by David McGrew, a friend and colleague of mine. It is meant to be sung to “Come Thou Fount” [tune name: NETTLETON]

Praise our Savior—He who bought us
We are truly owned by Him.
Praise His willingness to suffer
He—though God—to call us Kin!
This is why we join together:
Christ has born the wrath of God
What a King—to love His people
Loved to death . . . New Life He brought!

Sing together Church of Jesus,
Center all your thoughts on Him.
He the Maker of all nature
Great Redeemer from our sin.
God bestowed on Him the Name-of-names;
None shall stand before His face
Bow your soul in pure surrender
Humbly grasp the Gospel’s grace.
