I know I'm probably way behind on discovering this song, but today it really spoke to me. It's a song by The Choir. Go to iTunes and buy it for a buck; I promise it's worth the money.
Go on up to the mountain of mercy
To the crimson perpetual tide
Kneel down on the shore
Be thirsty no more
Go under and be purified
Follow Christ to the holy mountain
Sinner sorry and wrecked by the fall
Cleanse your heart and your soul
In the fountain that flows
For you and for me and for all
At the wonderful tragic mysterious tree
On that beautiful scandalous night
You and me were atoned by His blood
And forever washed white
On that beautiful scandalous night
On the hillside you will be delivered
At the foot of the cross justified
And your spirit restored
By the river that pours
From our blessed Savior's side
I'd like to do this song some Sunday. Pretty powerful.
ask Mike if he knows this song.
Yes, I've heard this song. The word "scandalous" caught me off-guard at first but the words really penetrate! Thanks for reminding me of them.
We've used it a couple of times.
