The Promise
1 reply
Hey guys, this is my first post on here! found out about it at the conference on saturday.. such a good idea! would appreciate any feedback... This is a straightforward praise song for what Jesus did on the cross.. talking about God becoming man to save us, redeem us.. you guys know!! :P no alternative story behind it just amazement at the revelation of Christ's sacrifice... hope you like it! P.S. if anyone would like chords i can easily supply them Rich With mercy in mind, you left glory behind To come to earth, to free the captives and sinners Son of man, blameless and holy You made the way, for eternal life This is salvation, you bring redemption, I am free, yeah! You bring life to the broken, redeemed and forgiven, hosanna! Through your son Jesus, you’ve delivered the promise, hallelujah, hallelujah hallelujah! The day has come, Jesus Christ the offering Your only son, to be sin for the world My sin his burden, his cross my shame But now he’s raised to Life, my debt is paid! Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hi Rich, welcome to the forum! :) Hope it's helpful for you. It sounds from the recording that this song is pretty well finished, but one thing you might want to consider either in tweaking this song or for future songs is being consistent re who you're addressing in the song, as it helps the congregation know where they are. 'You' in the 1st verse is clearly Jesus - 'you left glory behind... Son of man ... you made the way' - so you'd assume 'You' in line 1 of the chorus is also Jesus, except for the fact that line 2 says 'through your Son Jesus', so line 1 of the chorus is presumably addressed to the Father. Then vs 2 switches from 'you' being Jesus (as in vs 1) to referring to him as 'he'. Might be worth looking through the lyrics and seeing if there's a simple way you can tidy it up so that it's consistent throughout and doesn't present the picture that the Son of man gave his son Jesus... if that makes sense?! Hope that's helpful, as I said if this song is all finished then maybe it's something you can bear in mind for future writing? God bless Matt
