Happy Lord's Day! - It's good to sing the Gospel
Happy Lord's Day! This is a particularly exciting Lord's Day too, as for the first time in years (since Penygroes I think!) we're gathering together from our assemblies around the UK (and with some visitors from other countries too) around the Lord's Table to feed on Christ together.
Now why this fear and unbelief?
Has not the Father put to grief
His spotless Son for us?
And will the righteous Judge of men
Condemn me for the debt of sin
Now canceled at the cross?
Jesus, all my trust is in Your blood
Jesus, You've rescued us
Through Your great love
Complete atonement You have made
And by Your death have fully paid
The debt Your people owed
No wrath remains for us to face
We're sheltered by Your saving grace
And sprinkled with Your blood
How sweet the sound of saving grace
How sweet the sound of saving grace
Christ died for me
Be still my soul and know this peace
The merits of your great high priest
Have bought your liberty
Rely then on His precious blood
Don't fear your banishment from God
Since Jesus sets you free

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? For we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread. (1 Cor. 10:16-17)
So, as we lift our eyes to Jesus this Lord's Day, I just want to post a song for you that we've been singing in Leeds lately, because it's good to sing the gospel. (The lyrics are below the jump.)
Has not the Father put to grief

Through Your great love
Complete atonement You have made
And by Your death have fully paid
The debt Your people owed
No wrath remains for us to face

And sprinkled with Your blood
How sweet the sound of saving grace
How sweet the sound of saving grace
