Music: 'We Are Called'

We have written a few songs for the CCJ congregation and I thought I'd start something new on the blog since one of the goals of congregational singing is for everyone to, you know, sing along with the band..

The new song we introduced today ("We Are Called") was written for you, the CCJ congregation, to go along with our study of I Peter (the main theme of the lyrics is from I Peter 2).

Since this is an original song and unavailable for you to learn on your own, I thought I'd post a soundboard recording of the song from services today so that readers of the blog could be familiar with the song when we sing it again. Keep in mind, this is not the highest quality but simply something for you to learn the song by.

Below are the lyrics:

1:
Ransomed by blood
from futile ways
By the one the wind and seas obey
With sober minds and the
hope of grace
Let us turn our hearts to His face

Chorus:
A chosen people, we are called
A holy nation, we are called
A people belonging to God
We sing the praise of
The only One who saves us
By His mercy we are called

2:
We do not fear what they fear
Though trials will come, He is near
When suffering comes we won't
be ashamed
But through the blood
we bear His name


Bridge:
And to the God of grace
To Him be the glory forever
