Ryan recently introduced me to this song. I want to add it to our church repertoire. I want to sing this song in a special way as a church. I want to sing with conviction, I want to sing with zeal, I want to sing as sinners redeemed, I want to join voices with the angels and all the generations past who put their trust in the glory of a our gracious God. There is an intangible power in a gathered community of believers when they sing. We as American’s are naturally more individualistic then many cultures who think more communally, but we must press beyond that and recognize that our praise is contagious. I want to taste a glimpse of heaven when we will all gather with saints form every tribe and tongue to sing, “WORTHY IS THE LAMB.”
This type of song points us up to the highest meaning human existence which magnify the Glory of God. PLEASE PLEASE get a copy of this song and learn it. I am challenging the whole church to practice this song so that we can sing it from the heart. I plan to play this song on easter sunday as a demonstration to all who walk into this church what we are about. We are about God’s glory. I want to sing in such a way that every visitor, every sceptic, and every wayward Christian, must wrestle with the reality of our worship. There are more resources about this song here.

Grace So Glorious
CCLI # 7011444
Written By: Pastor Steven Furtick, Israel Houghton, Chris Brown
VERSE 1:
Beneath the cross of Jesus Christ
No shadow remains for shame to hide
Redemption shone for all to see
Perfection bore our penalty
With a grace so glorious…
VERSE 2:
Immortal day the veil was torn
When mercy donned a crown of thorns
As law gave way to liberty
And freedom for humanity
With a grace so glorious.
PRE-CHORUS:
Oh the glory of the Savior’s love
Surrounding our surrender
To know forever we are welcomed home
CHORUS:
Crowned in glory to glory
Worthy is the Lord of all
The glory forever
Holy is the Lord
VERSE 3:
Triumphant praises without end
All hailing the King of righteousness
And every eye beholds the One
Our hearts were undeserving of
With a grace so glorious
VERSE 4:
O wondrous day when I will see
The face of Him who ransomed me
I’ll fall in worship at His feet
And rise to reign eternally
In a grace so glorious
In a grace so glorious
