    150 - Keep Us All Close - Eastlake Music

    "Keep Us All Close" by Eastlake Music assumes a universal search for God amidst diverse beliefs and struggles. The song petitions God to "let in" friends, enemies, the marginalized and people of all faiths. Tyler and Colin discuss whether this contemporary Christian song is, in fact, Christian.

    149 - May My Days Be a Temple of Praise - KDMusic & Eliza King

    This song encourages us to see all our feasting, mourning, love, work, and play as opportunities to worship God. Join Colin & Tyler as we examine the poetic language and Biblical references in this modern hymn. Verse 1 If creation is longing for freedom and glory Every winter that passes each forest that burns There’s a cry from its heart come Lord Jesus return Every season a temple of praise Verse 2 If all history is marked by the sign of the cross Then each year that I give You is gain and not loss For in time all our empires just melt like the frost May our days be a temple of praise Chorus 1 Oh Ancient of Days You have chosen Your moments All our feasting and mourning our love work and play So when time is rolled up on that great Judgment Day May my days be a temple of praise Verse 3 I can rise to Your song on the wings of the morning Walk with your Spirit in the cool of the day I can pray with a child as the sun bows his head May my days be a temple of praise Chorus 2 O Lord now I see that my days are all numbered All the feasting and mourning the love work & play So when I lay down my life at Your feet for a crown May eternity ring with Your praise May eternity ring with Your praise May my days be a temple of praise

    146 - Grace Alone - Dustin Kensrue

    This week's episode analyzes a song by Dustin Kensrue called "Grace Alone." The song addresses several core elements of the gospel: that we have no right to approach God, that we have redemption and salvation through Jesus, that the Holy Spirit makes the light of Christ shine on our darkened hearts, and more. Lyrics: I was an orphan lost at the Fall, Running away when I'd hear Your call, But Father, You worked Your will I had no righteousness of my own, I had no right to draw near Your throne, But Father, You loved me still And in love before You laid the world's foundation You predestined to adopt me as Your own You have raised me so high up above my station I'm a child of God by grace and grace alone You left Your home to seek out the lost; You knew the great and terrible cost, But Jesus, Your face was set I worked my fingers down to the bone; Nothing I did could ever atone, But Jesus, You paid my debt By Your blood, I have redemption and salvation; Lord, You died that I might reap what You have sown And You rose that I might be a new creation; I am born again by grace and grace alone I was in darkness all of my life; I never knew the day from the night, But Spirit, You made me see I swore I knew the way on my own; Head full of rocks, a heart made of stone, But Spirit, You moved in me At your touch my sleeping spirit was awakened; On my darkened heart the light of Christ has shone Called into a kingdom that cannot be shaken; Heaven's citizen by grace and grace alone So I'll stand in faith by grace and grace alone; I will run the race by grace and grace alone I will slay my sin by grace and grace alone; I will reach the end by grace and grace alone

    143 - 1,000 Hallelujahs - Brooke Ligertwood

    This worship song reminds us that all our praise ultimately belongs to King Jesus. As we dive into the lyrics of this modern praise tune, we take a closer look at the creation declaring God's glory, the implications of God existing outside of time, and the eternity of praise Christians have to look forward to. "1,000 Hallelujahs and 1,000 more" equals 2,000, but how many points out of five will Colin and Tyler give this song? Tune in to find out. [Verse 1] Who else would rocks cry out to worship? Whose glory taught the stars to shine? Perhaps creation longs to have the words to sing But this joy is mine [Chorus] With a thousand hallelujahs We magnify Your name You alone deserve the glory The honor and the praise Lord Jesus This song is forever Yours A thousand hallelujahs And a thousand more [Verse 2] Who else would die for our redemption? Whose resurrection means I’ll rise? There isn’t time enough to sing of all You’ve done But I have eternity to try [Bridge] Praise to the Lord To the lamb To the King of Heaven Praise for He rose Now He reigns We will sing forever Praise to the Lord To the lamb To the King of Heaven Praise for He rose Now He reigns We will sing forever
