Here's a video of a song we recently learned at Grace Church in Philly. (http://www.gbcphilly.com/). It has been very refreshing to hear some Sovereign Grace music. Often we find that current worship music is centered on the person and not God (creating an awkward dynamic when the purpose of worship is to focus our lives on God and His will, yet the songs are asking us to concentrate on our own persons alone).
All I Have Is Christ
By Jordan Kauflin
As recorded on Looked Upon
Lyrics
I once was lost in darkest night
Yet thought I knew the way
The sin that promised joy and life
Had led me to the grave
I had no hope that You would own
A rebel to Your will
And if You had not loved me first
I would refuse You still
But as I ran my hell-bound race
Indifferent to the cost
You looked upon my helpless state
And led me to the cross
And I beheld God’s love displayed
You suffered in my place
You bore the wrath reserved for me
Now all I know is grace
Hallelujah! All I have is Christ
Hallelujah! Jesus is my life
Now, Lord, I would be Yours alone
And live so all might see
The strength to follow Your commands
Could never come from me
Oh Father, use my ransomed life
In any way You choose
And let my song forever be
My only boast is You
