As a part of my recent class, “Worship and Music in the Faith Community,” we had a choice of some different assignments that we could do to fulfill the post-class requirements. One of them was to write a hymn. So I tried it. I’ve never done anything like this before. The whole experience was definitely a healthy one for me, forcing me to think through some Scriptures and themes, consider who I am and who God is, as well rhyme and meter. So here are the lyrics. God is so good. Thanks for reading.
Death Undone
The light is shining in the darkness,
And darkness cannot comprehend.
And only by the name of Jesus,
Shall we be salvaged from our end.
See Him and worship Jesus the Lamb,
Who sweeps the sins away from all.
Declared as righteous by His own blood,
Rescued from the horrible fall.
Our voices cry out in the city,
Make straight the way before the Lord
We come proclaiming shalom and peace,
That comes by faith and not by sword
CHORUS
We are not worthy of the true one,
Word become flesh, God’s only Son
Mankind redeemed to be with Jesus,
Grace, truth united, death undone.
[John 1:5, 1:12-14, 1:23, 1:27, 1:29; Romans 5:1]
