Surprising

‘Who would have thought God’s saving power would look like this?’
Isaiah 53 verse 1 [The MESSAGE]

Verse 1
Who is like the Lord our God?
Moving in our lives with surprising love
We thought the lion would overthrow
But saw the lamb through suffering go

Verse 2
God whose strength holds the universe
Came to live with us, chose to die our death
We thought that we would pay the price
Discovered that you gave your life

Chorus
You are the song of yesterday
You are the anthem of today
You’re the beginning and the end
The only way
Who can define your tenderness?
Limit the passion of your grace?
You’re magnificent in all your ways

Verse 3
Holy and surprising God
Powerful in truth, vulnerable in love
Your sacrifice will one day be
The song that fills eternity

Bridge
Holy is the Lamb of God
Holy is our Saviour
Awesome Power and Surprising Love
We are yours forever

Isaiah 53 verse 1. Revelation 5 verses 5 – 6a and 8 – 14

In the summer of 2004 I read ‘The Jesus I Never Knew’ by Philip Yancey. It clarified my thinking, stirred a revolution in my heart, and brought me to my knees… that, at the centre of history is a cross and at the centre of the universe is a lamb.
