Hallelujah, Death is Beaten! Christ Has Risen from the Dead!

Where there was sin, Your love rushed in! 

Where sin runs deep, Your grace runs deeper!


Last month when I had the privilege to preach on Hebrews 7-8  "We Will Draw Near to God Because Jesus Drew Near to Us with Genesis Church in Woburn, MA, they introduced me to the song, "Seas of Crimson."

Since then, it has quickly become a new favorite. There is not a single line lost on how all of our needs are met in Jesus. He is our redemption. He is our healer. He is our peace. He is our Savior.

Seas of Crimson Lyric Video by Bethel Music

For every curse, You’re the cure.
For every sickness, You’re the healer.
For every storm, You’re the calm.
For all that’s lost, oh, what a Savior.

On that cross of calvary
Every burden has been defeated,
Every wretched heart redeemed;
You drown our sins in seas of crimson.

Hallelujah, death is beaten!
Christ has risen from the grave!
Hallelujah, it is finished!
All to You the highest praise!

Hallelujah, death is beaten!
Christ has risen from the grave!
Hallelujah, it is finished!
All to You the highest praise!

On that day of utmost glory
All of darkness cannot carry;
Every shackle will come undone.
My Solid Rock, Thine is the kingdom!

Where there was sin,
Your love rushed in!
Where sin runs deep,
Your grace runs deeper!
For all enslaved, the ransom paid,
Light of the world, Yours is the power!

Where there was sin,
Your love rushed in!
Where sin runs deep,
Your grace runs deeper!
For all enslaved, the ransom paid,
Light of the world, Yours is the power!

Hallelujah, death is beaten!
Christ has risen from the grave!
Hallelujah, it is finished!
All to You the highest praise!


Another great song that Genesis Church introduced to me on that day is "Behold the Risen Christ." Jesus is the song of grace we need to hear again and again. It's a song that's free, and powerful, and Jesus is the Mighty One who can and does save the lost.

Behold the Risen Christ video by The Village Church

The melodies of love 
Arranged in songs of grace
Stretched down from heaven above
Transposed my wayward state.

Once far, but now brought near,
Was blind but bound with fear;
Salvation sure and sweet,
The taste of victory. ...

Behold the risen Christ,
His grace and mercy free!
Once dead, now glorious life,
Oh what joy, oh what joy! 
He found me!

The Lord now in our midst,
A Mighty One to save,
Rejoices over us!
With shouts we praise His name!

Behold the risen Christ,
His grace and mercy free!
Once dead, now glorious life,
Oh what joy, oh what joy! 
He found me!
    
Worthy, worthy is the Lamb
Slain for me!
Worthy, worthy is the Lamb
Slain for me!
Holy, holy is the Lord,
The great I Am!
Holy, holy is the Lord,
The great I Am!

Behold the risen Christ,
His grace and mercy free!
Once dead, now glorious life,
Oh what joy, oh what joy! 
He found me!
