Well, actually this song is not playing on the radio, but it should be.  This is one of my favorites on my playlist.  It reminds me of Christ's words on the cross, "It is finished."  Be reminded today that Christ has done it all. Now rest. 1. I am weary, worn out Who will deliver me? I am heavy, burdened Who will deliver me?    Though I sink in guilt and shame: grace flows deeper Though I run against your will: grace runs faster Though I hide away from You: grace comes nearer Spirit help me know:    It is finished, It is finished No more running, no more hiding Now my weary soul can rest It is finished, It is finished No more striving, no more taking All in Christ I now possess It is finished     2. I am failing, unable, Who will deliver me? I am fearful, faithless Who will deliver me?    Bridge: No condemnation No guilty shame No past to haunt me None in Christ, None in Christ    Gone is my reco...

Here is the final song off of the new album by Zac Hicks and Coral Ridge Worship. We did not sing this song at Liberate 2015, but I appreciated the words and explanation of the song at Zac Hicks blog. Be reminded of the good news as you read these lyrics or listen to the song. Listen here Come Witness This Gospel to Me Words & Music: Zac Hicks, 2014 ©2014 Unbudding Fig Music (ASCAP) 1. O Holy Spirit, O One who was there To witness the anger that God didn't spare To witness a verdict both just and unfair O Holy Spirit, O One who was there 2. You saw on His face all the judgment of hell My story of shame that I cannot untell How heavy my burden of blame when it fell! You saw on His face all the judgment of hell Come witness this gospel to me Remembrancer, this is my plea: Preach Christ till He's all that I see Come witness this gospel to me 3. You saw in His dying the death of my sin The Son's bleeding body, I'm hidden therein Where all of my poiso...

Below you will find another song from Liberate 2015. In this song, Zac Hicks writes different words to a beloved hymn. Can he do that? Be reminded about how Christ has surrendered all for us!

All, Lord Jesus, You surrendered All for me, your enemy Worldly pleasures I was seeking Still, Lord, You were seeking me 4. All Your life is all my merit All Your death my ransom paid Now I feel no condemnation Just a love that cannot fade credits ...

I grew up singing the Doxology in church.  So, when I heard this new song by Zac Hicks at Liberate 2015, it brought back memories, but created new ones with extra verses that teach the gospel.  Enjoy this song as you listen & read the lyrics. Listen here Law Gospel Doxology Words: Zac Hicks & Julie Anne Osterhus, 2014 Music: Traditional ©2014 Unbudding Fig Music (ASCAP), Julie Anne Osterhus Your perfect law exposes me I feel my sin and desperate need My best good works are powerless To satisfy Your righteousness But there is One who lived for me His life, my only victory His death forever sealed in time That I am His and He is mine Praise God from Whom all blessings flow Praise Him all creatures here below Praise Him above ye heavenly host Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

Here is another new song we learned at Liberate by Zac Hicks.  Lyrics are below along with link to listen to the song.  A great reminder about the finished work of Christ and what that accomplished for us.

This is a new song from Zac Hicks that we learned at Liberate 2015.  I have included lyrics below.  Be reminded of what Jesus has done for us and how that makes us free. You can listen here 1. I’m a doubter of Your grace And my heart won’t cease Seeking love in every place But Your perfect arms of peace Though I see that all my longings Find their journey’s end in you Oft they wander in the byways Cheaply lured by every hue All our hearts long for, we find in You, O Lord Help us want You more, than idols we adore Give us eyes to see your matchless beauty Shatter unbelief, come and make us free 2. I’m a slave to lowly thoughts That I cannot shake Lust of eyes and pride of life Hardened heart that ne’er will break Though I hear that You alone can Make this stone a heart of flesh Oft in bitterness I linger Choosing chains, not freedom’s rest 3. I’m addicted to the lie That my thirsty soul Can be quenched by earth’s supply Vainly seized by my control Though I know ...

I am reposting this song that I hope we will sing at Liberate 2015.  It is by Zac Hicks and is great reminder of the gospel.

Be reminded of what God has done for you today.  Below you find a portion of a blog post from Zac Hicks explaining this song: It is this same impulse that led us to take a beloved sung prayer like “I Have Decided,” turn it on its head, and re-give it to the Church. How will people actually be motivated to love and follow God, to commit to Him, and to not turn back? Well, the counter-intuitive message of the gospel is that it isn’t by singing about what we’re doing for God, but by what God has done for us. Our security in being able to follow God is grounded in the surety that God first followed us. He tracked us down when we were running hard, He defeated us, and He raised us to life. And so we sing: God has decided to save my lost soul… No turning back, no turning back. Christ has decided to die in my place… No turning back, no turning back. The Holy Spirit now lives inside me… No turning back, no turning back. The love of God will forever hold me….He won’t let go, ...
