Hymn Sunday is a collaboration with Getty Music. You will find a video along with downloadable sheet music.

This song is all about the concept of beholding the life of Christ. It was inspired by this scripture from 2 Corinthians: “And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit (2 Cor 3:18).”

A powerful call to lift up your eyes to behold the beauty of Christ, it is a great song to use anytime in your church service and throughout the year.

Would You Attend Your Son’s Execution?

I have never known a mother whose son was executed, much less a mother whose son was executed despite being provably innocent. Though I can’t ask, I have sometimes wondered: Is it typical for a mother to attend her son’s execution?
