(Good Friday) Song: “Saviour King”

As I’m preparing for Good Friday message, this song by Hillsong United (from their album, All of the Above) is playing on my “Repeat-One” loop right now. The lyrics are amazingly simple and yet, with music, amazingly powerful, stirring the soul. It’s such a fitting reflection upon what God did some 2000 years ago:

You asked Your Son to carry this,
The heavy cross, our weight of sin.

I love You Lord, I worship You;
Hope which was lost, now stands renewed.
I give my life to honor this,
The love of Christ, the Savior King
[...]
Let now our hearts burn with a flame,
A fire consuming all for Your Son’s holy name
And with the heavens we declare,
You are our King

We love You Lord, we worship You.
You are our God, You alone are good.

In fact, I’m going to have this song played while people take the Lord’s Supper tomorrow. These words help us remember Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross and how it should result in the life of the believer living to honor that precious sacrifice.

Thank You Lord Jesus for taking up my cross on that Friday for me…and that is why it’s a Good Friday. Now let my heart burn with a flame, a fire consuming all for You. On this Good Friday and forevermore, I want to declare, “You are my King, You are my God, You alone are good!”
