A Spring of Joy

Due to a crazy week, Wednesday worship is on Thursday this week. And my choice of song is actually Asher’s choice–every night during family worship. I watch his face as he sings Once Again by Matt Redman each night. His eyes light up, and he can’t wait to belt out the chorus. I love how God is showing Himself to me through my son. I will let Asher’s words speak for me today.

“I love to remember this, Mommy.” he says. “Jesus died on the cross for me.” I can say no more.

Jesus Christ, I think upon Your sacrifice
You became nothing, poured out to death
Many times I’ve wondered at Your gift of life
And I’m in that place once again
I’m in that place once again

And once again I look upon the cross where You died
I’m humbled by Your mercy and I’m broken inside
Once again I thank You
Once again I pour out my life

Now You are exalted to the highest place
King of the heavens, where one day I’ll bow
But for now, I marvel at Your saving grace
And I’m full of praise once again
I’m full of praise once again

And once again I look upon the cross where You died
I’m humbled by Your mercy and I’m broken inside
Once again I thank You
Once again I pour out my life

Thank You for the cross
Thank You for the cross
Thank You for the cross, my Friend

Amen and amen. How is God showing you Himself this week?
