Another Song...

Wow, it feels like this blog has more to do with music than it does my journey through seminary. Nonetheless, I love music. Albeit my musical skills are vastly limited--music is fun. I like to listen to all kinds of music, but perhaps my favorite are hymns. I especially really enjoy hymns because of how rich they are in their theology. They are songs that encourage my heart and remind me of God's greatness, songs that contain Scriptural truth that spark your heart and mind to think about God, love God, and follow Him.

One of the these songs is "In the Cross Alone I Glory." Here's a version by Matthew Hammitt that I really enjoy and listen to frequently.

In The Cross Alone I Glory - Bethany Dillon & Matt Hammitt

And of course, here are the lyrics:
Verse 1
In the cross alone I glory
Recognition laying down
Greatest treasures count as worthless
Standing next to Heaven’s crowns
Standing next to Heaven’s crowns

Verse 2
In the cross alone I glory
Ever reaching for the prize
Pressing on and laying hold of
That for which my savior died
That for which my savior died

Chorus 1
In the cross alone I glory
Nothing of my own to give
Only that which Christ has offered
For my soul that I may live
For my soul that I may live

Verse 3
In the cross alone I glory
Holding fast the word of life
Toiling not in vain but being
Poured out as a sacrifice
Poured out as a sacrifice

Bridge
Never will I seek the glory
That was never meant for me
Always heavenward reflecting
All to Jesus to receive
All to Jesus to receive
All to Jesus to receive

Have a good day glorying in the cross!
