Congrats to New Artist of the Year
I’ve pushed Tenth Avenue North before on my blog. They continue to be one of my favorite bands. My wife got to meet them before seeing them in concert. I’m still jealous. Anyway, I went ahead and voted for them and enough people agreed with me to win them the Dove Award for New Artist of the Year. So congrats to them and I hope to be able to catch them in concert. Catch some lyrics from my favorite song on my Good Friday playlist after the jump.
Hallelujah
Artist Explanation: “‘Hallelujah,’ for me, is a need to understand the gospel. The chorus is a phrase in Revelations that says, ‘The church will sing for ever and ever’ which is hallelujah for the blood of the lamb that was slain. The very end of the bridge says, ‘Inside your wounds we hide away.’ So this song is just a reminder that if God is who He says He is, if He’s holy, we should be really scared, unless someone gets in between the glory of God and us little simple humans. The beauty of that song is we have a savior that has come in between the wrath of God and us.”
At first I am afraid
But not because of fear
But the holy of holies is drawing me near
Your voice like thunder
Shakes the ground I’m on
Hide my face in the shadow of Your wings, oh Lord
Hide my sin from the beauty here before Your throne
Hallelujah for the blood of the lamb that was slain
Hallelujah for the blood of the lamb that was slain
And so we enter in to see Your face
Enter in to see Your face, oh God
I’m falling to my knees
I feel the earth beneath
With the weight of my sin and this crushing unbelief
Could You really love me
With all that I’ve done?
You spread Your hands
And made a refuge for the weak
And blessed the weary bruised and broken
Took us in
Inside Your wounds we hide away
Inside Your wounds we hide
You spread Your hands
And made a refuge for the weak
And blessed the weary bruised and broken
Took us in
Inside Your wounds we hide away
Inside Your wounds we hide
