One of the things I love about solid worship leaders/writers is how they can take a concept that is in the Word and bring it to life through song. Through my involvement in Cross Style and Ellerslie I have greatly benefited from this “Word in song” concept. At Ellerslie, Ben Zornes has written several outstanding tunes which enunciates the depth of the Word (watch for the upcoming album soon to be released). At Cross Style, Sean Patrick often takes the message of the sermons being preached and brings them to life. Here are the lyrics to one of the recent songs being song at the Cross Style Church, lyrics I have found myself humming to throughout the recent days.
We Hear You
written by Sean Patrick
We just want to be a part of what You’re doing
We just want to be around to see You move
We’re open and we’re seeking Lord,
So bring a new thing
Overwhelm us just to see that You get through
Chorus
Jesus break on through, we’re hearing You
Lord Jesus responding to Your Word of truth
Lord Jesus pierce our hearts, confront our darkness
Shake us at the core Lord
Shake us at the core Lord, we hear You
Bridge
We’ll give up an old thought
Embrace the new
For this is repentance
We hear You, we hear You
We’re cut to the heart Lord,
Now what shall we do?
Responding now, we will embrace You
