Powerful

One of my new favorite hymns is "The Power of the Cross" by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend. In our house Bible study we have been going through J. I. Packer's Knowing God, and last week, we studied the chapter on the "Heart of the Gospel." It is an amazing chapter, but what amazed me more was that this hymn captures the message of that chapter so beautifully. So we listened to the song during Bible study. But I have been thwarted at church. The past two Sundays we were supposed to sing the "Power of the Cross," and the past two Sundays it has been axed from the order of service. I hope that we will sing it soon, but I want to share it with whomever might happen to still read here.
