Passion, an incredibly talented group of musicians, turned in a lovely and captivating acoustic performance of “How Great is Your Name.”
No one would have the opportunity for forgiveness and to experience everlasting life if not for God’s love and sacrifice. We’d all be destined to live out our days on this Earth lost in our sin and shame. But that is not the case because of God’s inexplicable and never-ending love, mercy and grace.
Jesus Christ, sent to Earth, willingly went to the cross. He suffered, bled and endured a horrible, agonizing and humiliating death for you and me. He made the ultimate sacrifice and paid the biggest price. He did what no one else could have ever done.
Praise His name!
In a clip posted on YouTube, Passion gives an emotional performance of “How Great is Your Name.” The tune perfectly captures and articulates the depths of Christ’s love and the world-changing importance of His death and resurrection.
While the band is fantastic in the five-and-a-half-minute clip, the lyrics set this song apart and will make you repeatedly listen and watch the video. The songwriting is outstanding. The tune’s first verse is compelling and moving, wasting no time getting to the importance of Christ’s death on the cross.
“To the King who left his throne
Trading glory for a cross
To the one who paid our debt in blood
Holy, holy, hallelujah to the Lamb”
You really can’t say or write it any better than that. Christ, seeing the sad state of humanity and the rupture that sin had caused between God and man, was sent to Earth. He gave up everything and died for us.
What astounding love, grace and mercy! We are not deserving and will never be worthy of salvation.
Ephesians 2:8-9 “Because by grace you have salvation through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is given by God: not by works, so that no man may take glory to himself.”
