“But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ – by grace you have been saved – and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness to toward us in Christ Jesus.” (Ephesians 2:4-7)

Great song guys!
Can’t wait for us to sing it together down at Church Camp this weekend!
me too – will be great to spend a few days celebrating God’s grace together – including in song
Hey Yocky great song ,gospel direct words. But for me sounds more like a song for a performance by a band or individual but not a church song for me its missing something. Maybe I am being fussy.
interesting Trev – guess we’ll see after a few months of giving it a crack congregationally. thanks for your thoughts.
Well I’ve listen to it a lot more and have sung along with it and its grown on me anad has changed my mind to being good for in church.So often we have songs that move at a faster pace we don’t get to think about the words being sung ,this song gives you the reflection time you need and it will be great to sing as a family of Gods people.
