Song of the Week


Tim Hughes is a remarkable worship leader. Songs like "Here I Am to Worship" have understandably found their way into church music sets, and the song "Holding Nothing Back", from the album of the same title, is worth doing, especially when you consider the lyrical similarity to a good ol' Chuck Wesley tune named "And Can It Be". Here's a sampling:

My chains fell off my heart was free
I'm alive to live for You
I'm alive to live for You
Amazing love, how can it be?
You gave everything for me
You gave everything for me
Everything

You've washed my sin and shame away
The slate is clean, a brand new day
Free now forever

Now boldly I approach Your throne
To claim this crown through Christ my own
Yours now forever

Really good stuff.
