The Song Of Christ

11/28/2001

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’” (Matthew 7:21-23).

There are so many different “Jesus” figures today in christendom, many invented by men’s flesh and human desires and compromises. Really though, only as we fall before the Jesus of the Bible, the Heavenly man that heals the blind, rules the fish in the sea and the clouds in the sky, forgives sin, passionately opposes man’s religion and hypocrisy and rituals and traditions…only as we fall in love with and utterly abandon ourselves in obedience to THAT Jesus, THAT God…only then will we experience “the Eternal Life” —Life to the Full!

For some folks Jesus is a song they sing on cue

When it’s the thing to do

They smile and follow through

But if the critics say the music’s out of key

They change the melody

To “Popularity”

For others Jesus is a song of how they feel

When all the words seem real

They sing the song with zeal

But later on if things don’t seem to go their way

A faithless dirge they play

Does that describe your day?

Chorus:

How do you sing the Song

The Song, the Song,

The Song of Christ?

The Song, the Song,

The Song of Christ?

Jesus is a song some like to sing on stage

Attention’s what they crave

To hear the naive rave

But even though the chorus may sound genuine

Just listen once again

They’re singing “me” not “HIM”

Others sing the song because they’ve always sung

Since they were very young

The words rolled off their tongue

Singing words that they don’t really understand

And joking with the band

Tell me, are you that man?

Chorus

Jesus is a Song of unmatched melody

When He’s sung faithfully

He sets the Spirit free

Father, grant that we may sing the Song for you

Let every Note ring true

In everything we do

Lord help us sing the Song

The Song, the Song

The Song of Christ
