Earlier today on Bellshill Salvation Army Band’s Facebook page I shared some devotions. I’d like to share those devotions with you tonight.
We started our Easter posts by featuring ‘Amazing Love’ (played by NYSB), and today to conclude our Easter posts, we want to share the same song again. It features these words.
And can it be that I should gain An interest in the Saviour’s blood? Died He for me who caused His pain, For me who Him to death pursued? Amazing love! How can it be That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me? He left His Father’s throne above, So free, so infinite His grace, Emptied Himself of all but love And bled for Adam’s helpless race. ‘Tis mercy all, immense and free, For, O my God, it found out me. Long my imprisoned spirit lay Fast bound in sin and nature’s night; Thine eye diffused a quickening ray; I woke; the dungeon flamed with light. My chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed Thee. No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, and all in Him, is mine. Alive in Him, my living Head, And clothed in righteousness divine, Bold I approach the eternal throne And claim the crown, through Christ, my own.
God’s amazing love for us was shown to all the world when Jesus died to save us. So as you listen to our band playing this beautiful reflective piece of music entitled ‘And Can It Be’ (Dan Forrest arr. Andrew Wainwright), remember all we have gained, because of Christ’s death.
