1.	Jesus Is Yours 04:15	lyrics	buy track
C F All who have called on Jesus name C/E G/B Who know that he died and yet he lives; C C/Bb F We have all stumbled and failed to lay claim C/E G/B C To the new life that he freely gives: You who for lasting approval have labored Under the glare of fickle men; Yours is the love, the acceptance and favor That God shows to his perfect Son. G/B C C/E F G/B Don’t be di-----scouraged, Em F Am G/B for the Spirit of grace, G/B C C/E F G/B Continues the fight that was won on Calvary; C G C Turning our treason into faith You who struggle in conflict with others Dogged by quarrels and petty wars; Yours is the adoption that makes us brothers and sisters; one forevermore. You whose lustful longings have led you To cravings deep yet unfulfilled; Yours is the peace and final fulfillment Which bids lesser longings to be still You who in pain have doubted His goodness And waited on his power to set you free; Yours is the God, who in the darkness cried: “My God, why have you forsaken me?” You who exalt in your wealth and power And in abundance, see but shallow need; Yours is the lowliness of the most High Who took on flesh that he might bleed.

C F C Come and Praise the Lord with joy brand new G/B(G7) C9 C F C/E Gsus How he cherished the ones who re--jected him C F Dm Am Reversing the fall, lifting us all, C/E F Gsus G C Up to glo-------ry again. The Lord has made us to worship him; Our origin and our resting place. But we placed our hearts on the gifts he gave Worshipping frauds, fashioning gods of the good things he made. (mod. C Csus C G/B C Csus C A/C# ) D Dsus D But he saw the need of his ene-----mies A D/A A7 Of all people; you and me D G D/F# Asus And came uninvited to his own earth D G Em Bm Humbly born, greeted with scorn D/F# G Asus A D Seeking the hu-------man’s curse! Now Christ has known an imposter’s shame A stranger in the world he made In the place of idolaters, God was blamed (pause- enter all) But the world it was won, foes became sons Of the most high again! Come and praise the Lord with joy brand new And raise a fresh hallelujah For the old, old story belongs to you You who were lost, strangers to God Welcomed as heirs again!

about

It is the aim of this new album to communicate the joy of the gospel—God pursued his fallen creation, coming as one of us to make a way back to relationship with him. The damaging repercussions of the fall will one day be fully reversed, and we will one day know and love God fully. This joy we have in God's story is not a naive joy; it is not a denial of the world's brokenness. This album includes songs of lament (Help, O Lord) and stories of God's judgment (The Feast), broken cries for God to breath life into a weary earth (Breathe Down) and songs that address the painful reality of death (When I'm Gone). This joy is honest about life's pain even while it embraces the promise that one day God will make all things right. It is a hopeful joy that acts as a lens through which we view, interpret, and act in a world that is hurting. It is a joy that is present, even in seedling form, in the midst of our deepest pain. That's the kind of nuanced joy we hope permeates this album throughout its wide-ranging subject matter—from creation to the cross, from lament to laughter, from present brokenness to the future renewal of all things.
We hope that you enjoy it and that it serves you, where you are. Thank you for listening to our music.

about

Ordinary Time

They met in a “History of Christian Worship” class in seminary, where they discovered a shared love for old songs in danger of being forgotten. The band’s oeuvre seamlessly weaves the hymns of generations past with their own new songs—often indistinguishably—producing a
sound that ranges from bluegrass-tinged Americana to sacred harp hymn arrangements. ... more
