Music Wednesday - Just For Me (Paradise Live)

Last Sunday's sermon was on how we can prepare for the day of judgment. Just to recap:

1. Reject indifference - Stop the sin of omission
2. Reach out in identification - Seize every opportunity to do good
3. Rejoice in our inheritance - See what occupies God's heart

One thing from the sermon that struck me most is the humility of Jesus Christ, "who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped." (Phi 2:6) In fact when Ps Melvyn asked how Jesus looked like, I did not expect the answer to be "ugly". As I pondered over this revelation, I can't help but thank God for His grace and for the kenosis of Christ - "but emptied Himself...and being made in the likeness of men." (Phi 2:7) Christ has identified Himself with sinners - me and you - and from being the glory of glories in heaven, He humbled Himself to endure the cross, just for us. What amazing grace! The greatest condescension, Just For Me.




Just For Me (Paradise Live)

Saviour of the world today,
Hung upon a tree,
Just to set me free,
Did it so that I would notice Him.

Came down to live among the men,
Of a fallen world,
Just to save it all,
Turned it round so we were charged for nothing.

Where would I be without You,
My everything belongs to You.

Chorus:
King of Majesty,
You rolled the stone,
So I could live again,
The scars, upon Your feet,
They should be mine.

Some say You were weak,
That You gave in,
But that's the story of my life,
You gave all You had,
Just for me.
