Just Another Melodic Monday: Firm Foundation

"Firm Foundation" is written by Piper Jones, Rachel Hale and Sean Fallon.  The song reminds us that when someone trusts in Jesus Christ, they find a solid foundation upon which to build their life and a Saviour who will never leave them nor forsake them.  As the chorus says, "You are the hope to which I cling".

Just Another Melodic Monday - For the Cause

"For the Cause of Christ the King", by Keith and Kristyn Getty and Stuart Townend, calls us to renew our commitment to walk in faith and to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.  

Words from the last verse can be offered as a prayer: "Let it be my life's refrain: 'To live is Christ, to die is gain!'

Just Another Melodic Monday - His Mercy is More

"His Mercy is More" is a song that we learned as a church last year, written by Matt Boswell and Matt Papa.  The words remind us of the mercy and forgiveness that we find when we come to God through Jesus Christ, for "in him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins, according to the riches of his grace..." (Ephesians 1:7).

Just Another Melodic Monday: Turn your eyes

I heard this song back in November at a Sovereign Grace conference for pastors.  "Turn your eyes" is an update of an old chorus, and the extra verses help us to understand what it means to look to Jesus in faith as we remember his death, his resurrection and his promised return.  

The song is on the latest Sovereign Grace live album, "The Glorious Christ".
