I was taken a back by how many people at the evening service last Sunday requested more information about this song… it happens to by my favorite hymn, but every time I’ve played it for corporate worship it has been met with discouraging results, which is entirely understandable. (probably because it’s not very familiar and it’s pretty long
The song basically unpacks what will happen to you if you ‘take up your cross and die’ to follow Jesus. Then, proceeds to unpack why this is a small price to pay for the benefits of sharing Christ’s afflictions… namely that we gain Christ. I don’t know about you guys, but I have to be reminded of this often because there are so many false comforts in my world that make me forget about my real home and what house I really live in.
Anyways… I’ll stop rambling and give you guys what you really wanted to know
where to get the song…
Unfortunately, the arrangement that we sing at dbc isn’t available to download on iTunes (or any other place). I’ve spoken with Kevin Twit (who produced the album where I got the arrangement) about putting his music on iTunes… he says he intends to do it soon… but that conversation happened in June… hmmmmm. Maybe some of you guys should email him with the same request?
You can also buy the album from Amazon.
Here’s a link to the Indelible Grace hymn resource website… a must have for all worship leaders
Just email me if you are interested in any of the other songs we do on Sunday evenings… I always love to hear what you guys think about the music we do… even if you don’t like it
