I'm listening "1000 Reasons" song by Matt Redman - Jonas Myrin and Matt Redman.

Lyrics Taken from Worshipchords

Chorus
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
O my soul, worship His holy Name.
Sing like never before, O my soul.
I’ll worship Your holy Name.

Verse 1
The sun comes up, it’s a new day dawning;
It’s time to sing Your song again.
Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me,
Let me be singing when the evening comes.

Chorus
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
O my soul, worship His holy Name.
Sing like never before, O my soul.
I’ll worship Your holy Name.

Verse 2
You’re rich in love and You’re slow to anger,
Your Name is great and Your heart is kind;
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing,
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find.

Chorus
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
O my soul, worship His holy Name.
Sing like never before, O my soul.
I’ll worship Your holy Name.

Verse 3
And on that day when my strength is failing,
The end draws near and my time has come;
Still, my soul sings Your praise unending,
Ten thousand years and then forevermore.

Chorus
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
O my soul, worship His holy Name.
Sing like never before, O my soul.
I’ll worship Your holy Name.

Bless the Lord, O my soul,
O my soul, worship His holy Name.
Sing like never before, O my soul.
I’ll worship Your holy Name.

As my thoughts are starting to turn toward Christmas, I find myself listening to Christmas music more often.

This one is a Christmas classic in Finland, although this version is a bit more unconventional in that it's performed by metal singers (although the song itself is not heavy). I found a semi-decent English translation of lyrics, so I'll add it below as well.


On the hay, in the bulls' trough
Sleeps an innocent Child.
The path of a flock of angels
Soon leads to Him
To marvel at the greatest Love.

In the hems of the beloved mother
Sleeps the Son of God.
The path of a flock of angels
Soon leads to Him
To marvel at the greatest Love.

In the midst of lilies and roses
Sleeps the Lord of people.
The path of a flock of angels
Soon leads to Him
To marvel at the greatest Love.

At the cross beside a robber
Sleeps the purest Victim.
The path of a flock of angels
Soon leads to Him
To marvel at the greatest Love.

My only criticism about this translation is the word "Victim" in the last verse. The word "uhri" could equally well be translated "Sacrifice" which would probably fit better in the context.

I agree that sacrifice would also be a good word, but if you look at the definition of the word 'victim' (a person harmed, injured, or killed as a result of a crime, accident, or other event or action ) - that is what Christ became because of our sin, he was innocent but paid the price for us. In every way that is a victim.

Isaiah 53:5 "But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. "

You are right. Both are justifiable word choices there.

Did you know that the word they used for 'peace' in Isa 53:5, is actually the word 'Shalom'? It could read 'the punishment that brought us our 'well-being, health, prosperity, favor' was on Him....' I just discovered this the other day after reading this favorite chapter for years.

Great point. I can't remember having ever checked that myself.

Yes, this is what I find most interesting, when you delve into the meaning behind the words used in the original language. Although English brings forth the correct meaning in the message, we lose a lot of depth that is found in the original language

Never was much for CW music but this speaks to me. Kris's testimony is special to me.

Ephesians 3:14-19
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Real nice, Maybe Michael is carrying on where Johnny left off. Pause on video never lets me get all credits read. Maybe this is Kentucky or Tennessee? At the start when walking in the last guy in resembles an old friend here in Chicago. More 'Christian' oriented than me at the time but now likely deceased and biker too but not me. The journey takes many unpredictable turns.
