I wrote this one at work today while reading 2 Corinthians (thank you, Bethy. ;)) when three of the words jumped out at me. I already had a rap rhythm that I couldn't remember where from (but turns out to be Toby Mac) playing in my head, so...here. :P
The last two lines after the four verses are more sung and go a bit one into the other, the line before last said softly, then the last bit rappy again. :P
If anyone's in Christ, he's a new creation,
No more lost in condemnation
Headed for the wrath of God's damnation -
By the grace of God.
For Christ, since the world's foundation,
Became the Rock of our salvation
And undertook the reconciliation
Of mankind to God.
He bore the cross with no deliberation
From God endured sin's separation,
Life triumphed at the resurrection
And crushed eternal death.
Sin had chained us in frustration,
Lost and blind to our affliction,
So God became our liberation -
In God alone we stand.
So thank You, God, for all the love You have bestowed on us!
Thank You, Jesus, for Your unconditional love and mercy.
I am Yours.
To bring Light and liberty to every nation!
