i kinda wrote this as an 'easter song' but am living to regret it as it never gets used any other time of year, even though i think it could be used more widely! the recording is a slightly ropey one from church, but you get the idea. thoughts and feedback greatly appreciated! words: Son of God, Holy One. 1 Son of God, Holy one You exchanged heaven’s light For a carpenter’s labouring hands. You came down to your own, Chose our home as your home, Stood before us as God made man. Though you healed, forgave, lived a perfect life, As a sinner condemned you died Bearing all the righteous wrath of God On the awful cross of Christ! 2 In my place you were nailed, You were beaten and shamed, But your death takes all sin away Far as east is from west - Freed from guilt, ever blessed, By the pain that you bore that day. All at your expense, undeservedly, All God’s riches are offered me. All the grace of God to sinners shown On the glorious cross of Christ! 3 Shut and sealed in a tomb, But in measureless strength You defeated the grave’s great power. Now the conqueror of death, And of sin, and of Hell He is risen, all fear is gone! Love so deep and sure, life forever more Lavished freely on those who live In the saving power of God, displayed In the empty tomb of Christ! 4 Now ascended you reign As you’re seated again At the Father’s right hand in heaven. All our hoping is sure And your promise secure That you’re coming again one day. Then at last we’ll see all the majesty Of the glorious king we serve, As eternity resounds with praise For the precious cross of Christ! Music & lyrics © Matt Rushby 2006.
