Jesus Messiah

I was looking for Jeremy Camp's latest album Speaking Louder Than Before at House of Praise Main only to find out that it's not actually available. (Apparently, someone have told me that's it's already in... but HOP has not even begun production of it. Hehe). I was about to leave empty-handed when I saw this album by Christ Tomlin called Hello Love.

There are a lot of great songs on the album, but I think there's one that stands out (at this point of my life). You see, I've recently been contemplating on the Bible and Brian Bailey's book on the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. I was staggered to have been reminded of the fact that long before the creation of the world, God the Father knew that He would have to give His Son to die on the cross for us. But He proceeded with creating us anyway. The plan of salvation has already been set even before humanity needed redemption.

Chris Tomlin - Jesus Messiah
From the album Hello Love

He became sin
Who knew no sin
That we might become His Righteousness
He humbled Himself and carried the cross

Love so amazing
Love so amazing

Chorus:
Jesus Messiah
Name above all names
Blessed Redeemer
Emmanuel
The Rescue for sinners
The Ransom from Heaven
Jesus Messiah
Lord of all

His Body the Bread
His Blood the Wine
Broken and poured out all for love
The whole earth trembled
And the veil was torn

Chorus:

All I hope is in You
All I hope is in You
All the glory to You, God
The light of the world

And I'm filled continuously with much awe that God's love for us surpasses time. He has been loving us even before we were created. Hallelujah! To the Lamb that was slain!
