Friday of Holy Week (Good Friday)

The Gospel Song – Music and words by Bob Kauflin and Drew Jones.

Holy God in love became
Perfect man to bear my blame
On the cross he took my sin
By his death I live again

Lamb of God – Words and music by Andi Rozier, Jason Ingram, and  Meredith Andrews

VERSE 1
You came from heaven’s throne
Acquainted with our sorrow
To trade the debt we owe
Your suff’ring for our freedom

CHORUS
The Lamb of God in my place
Your blood poured out my sin erased
It was my death You died I am raised to life
Hallelujah the Lamb of God

VERSE 2
My name upon Your heart
My shame upon Your shoulders
The pow’r of sin undone
The cross for my salvation

BRIDGE
There is no greater love
There is no greater love
The Savior lifted up
There is no greater love
