These words are both strong and tender.  Your devotion shows.

I like the lyric structure of this song.  It works very well with the words and melody.  Great message!

lovely song, beautiful lyrics and singing

You have a very expressive voice.  Sounds very good

“Behold the Man!” Oh, what a vision:
Scourged and beaten with a rod;
Disfigured beyond recognition 
As a man, or as their God.
As a man, or as their God.

Now lifted up, just as the serpent
In the wilderness was raised;
“Behold the Man! In faith, repentant:
All your sins on him are laid.
All your sins on him are laid.”

Behold the Man! Oh, what a vision!       
All His righteousness is mine!
Behold the Man! The Second Adam!
Justified by grace divine!
Justified by grace divine!

Behold the Man! Once dead, now risen;
He the firstborn from the grave.
We fix our eyes on Christ in Heaven,
“Even so”, Lord come and save!
“Even so”, Lord come and save!

Behold the Man! Oh, what a vision!
Seated now upon His throne!
Behold the Man! The Final Adam!
Death is conquered, Christ has won!
Death is conquered, Christ has won!

Verse 1: 
Do not be conformed to the world 
But transformed by your mind's renewing 
By testing that you may discern 
The good will of God to be doing 

Chorus: 
By the mercies of God 
Be a living sacrifice 
Holy, acceptable 
The worship of our lives 
The worship of our lives 

Verse 2: 
Soberly think of yourself 
According to faith he has given 
For we as one body belong 
And in our diversity function 

(Chorus) 

Bridge: 
One body in Christ with each other 
Gifts freely given by grace 
So use them to build one another 
Let love be the fruit of our faith 

(Chorus)

Strengthened in the wait

The worship of our lives (Romans 12)

Lyrics:
Beloved, let us love one another 
For love is from God 
Whoever loves is born of the Father 
For God is love 

Pre-Chorus: 
In this love was shown to us 
Not that we loved but He loved us 

Chorus: 
If God so loved us we should love one another 
Whoever loves God must so love his brother 

God has sent his Son to be Saviour 
When we were enemies 
Beloved, so let all our behaviour 
Show his love and charity 

Pre-Chorus 

Chorus: 
If God so loved us we should love one another 
Whoever loves God must so love his brother 
How can we claim to truly know the Father 
If we don't have this, this same love for each other?

Joy complete

We should love (1 John 4)

-VERSE 1

Lord I come
Ashamed of the sin 
I’ve embraced with content for so long
And I cannot pay this debt I owe

Lord I come
I bring what I have 
These things that have shackled my heart
These things You’ve asked me to let go

-PRE-CHORUS 1

So take these idols Lord
I break these idols at your feet
But I need you to set my heart free

-CHORUS

I want to sing Your praise unashamed
Remove this sin from my life
Remove these scales from my eyes
So I can see Your face and all of Your glory
Lord, reform my ways
So I can sing Your praise unashamed

-VERSE 2

Lord I come
You’re changing my heart
And making me part of the Bride of Christ
Bought by His sacrifice

Lord I come
Humbly before You
To love and adore You, I’m reconciled
I’m Your adopted child

-CHORUS

I want to sing Your praise unashamed
Remove this sin from my life
Remove these scales from my eyes
So I can see Your face and all of Your glory
Lord, reform my ways
So I can sing Your praise unashamed

-PRE-CHORUS 2 / BRIDGE

So take these idols Lord
I break these idols Lord
I break these idols at Your feet

So take these idols Lord
I break these idols at your feet
But I need you to set my heart free

-CHORUS

I want to sing Your praise unashamed
Remove this sin from my life
Remove these scales from my eyes
So I can see Your face and all of Your glory
Lord, reform my ways
So I can sing Your praise

-TAG

O Lord, reform my ways
So I can sing Your praise unashamed

From the forthcoming album "Heaven and Earth"

Verse 1: 
Why do the holy angels sing? 
Why do the heav’nly arches ring 
With anthems sweet from seraphs bright, 
With glittering crowns and robes of white? 

Verse 2: 
Glory to Thee, our God, they cry, 
Maker of earth, and sea, and sky, 
To Thee our highest strains belong, 
Thou great Inspirer of our song. 

Chorus: 
They sing of the Lamb that was slain, 
The Saviour that lives again, 
The root of David and offspring 
The brightest star of the morning 

Verse 3: 
Beautiful world where all is bright, 
Rivers of gold and fields of light, 
In murmured tones of joy prolong 
The echo of the angels’ song. 

Verse 4: 
Well may the holy angels sing, 
Well may the heav’nly arches ring, 
With anthems sweet from choirs above, 
They sing of God, and God is love.

This Alleluia - Interim Worship Band

Final version of the demo recorded with Tim Lawles. Here are the lyrics:

I sought sin but the Savior sought me,
I ran towards what was so empty
As I was filled with depravity, 
Jesus came and he rescued me.

You sought me, your blood has bought me, hallelujah
All glory, all praise, be to you God!

I sought lies but the truth sought me, 
I was deceived by the enemy,
And though all the lies had enslaved me, 
The Word of Truth came to set me free.

And I can almost believe that a man would dare to die,
For a very righteous one who deserves such sacrifice,
But I can’t fathom, that God would look and see,
All the sins I have committed, and still come to die for me.

I have hope since my Savior sought me,
I now have life abundantly,
And 'till the end Christ will keep me,
To live with him for eternity!

You sought me, your blood has bought me, hallelujah
All glory,  all praise, be to you God!
Your passion, your pow’r, has saved me, hallelujah
All glory, all praise, be to you God!

I sought sin but the Savior sought me.

You Sought Me

Hello all!

My name is Bryan J Emerson and I write CCM/P&W music.  My music focuses on the joys and the struggles of the Christian walk.  My music often includes darker undertones, similar to R.E.M. but more like "finding my religion".

I am co-host of the Balm in Gilead podcast, where we talk about contemporary Christian music, praise & worship music and practices, and the Regulative Principle of Worship.

Thank you for listening and I hope you enjoy!
