Hymn Sunday

Old hymns are beginning to make a comeback with many young listeners, thanks to artist like Matthew Smith and Indelible Grace and others . They are taking classic hymns ,that have stood the test of time and reworking them with a contemporary flavor.

This a wonderful thing. Breathing new life into these standards is giving them a whole new base. The theology and gospel focus of these hymns need to be remembered and not forgotten .

So each Sunday , I'm going to feature some of my favorite hymns . Hope you enjoy.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se8oqprMC8I

Great God From Thee written by John Newton

1. Great God from Thee there's nought concealed,
Thou seest my inward frame
To Thee I always stand revealed, 
Exactly as I am

2. Since I can hardly therefore bear, 
What in myself I see
How vile and dark must I appear 
Most holy God to Thee?

Bridge: But since my Savior stands between
In garments dyed in blood
Tis He instead of me is seen 
When I approach to God

3. Thus though a sinner, I am safe, 
He pleads before the throne
His life and death in my behalf,
And calls my sins His own

Bridge 2: What wondrous love. What mysteries
In this appointed shine
My breaches of the law are His, 
And His obedience mine

3. Great God from Thee there's nought concealed
Thou seest my inward frame
To Thee I always stand revealed, 
Exactly as I am
