July 17, 2011 – John Markum

First up in the list of Praise and Worship music I would like to share is “What a Savior” by Jeremiah Jones, performed by Laura Story (AMAZING voice!). Our Saturday night worship team learned and started playing this song about a year ago, and I’ve never gotten tired of it. Hope you like it too…

WHAT A SAVIOR (music/lyrics by Jeremiah Jones)

Verse 1:

Atoning sacrifice
Keeper of this life
Hallelujah! You are Savior
Beginning and the end
Forgiver of my sin
By Your mercy You have saved us

Chorus:

Jesus, You are stronger
More than any other
Hallelujah! what a Savior
Jesus You are higher
My soul’s deepest desire
Hallelujah! You are Savior

Verse 2:

You are the shepherd king
You lead us by still waters
Hallelujah! You are Savior
You are my only hope
Your kindness is my friend
In Your presence You restore us

Chorus

Bridge:

You are the way, the truth, and the life
You are my joy and my salvation
You stood in my place, taking my shame
Upon your shoulder

Chorus

I have previously posted on some of my favorite hymns about 6 months ago. Now-a-days I’ve been blessed by a variety of amazing new songs that have come out from some of the most godly men, women, and bands out there. And I love a pretty healthy mix of most of them. Like my list of hymns, this by no means is the extent of the music I listen to or like. I’m specifically sharing some of my favorites from the Praise and Worship genre.

Regardless of your church background, I hope that you can at least be blessed by the power of the lyrics being shared here. And perhaps if you are skeptical of the newer songs (like I once was), this may serve as an opportunity to see what most of the newer Praise and Worship music is all about.

In addition to posting the lyrics of some of my favorites, I’ll give you a youtube link where you can listen to the song, and an itunes/retail store link where you can buy the song.

Blessings,

John
