Loosed from 1,000s of heavy pounds  4/25/09 

HEARD:  People stumble.  Going through a very difficult time.  Where are we headed?  To the cross.  Here’s where I want to hear from You.  Where did all my stuff go?  Such heavy burdens. 

HEARD:  Thousands of pounds tested.  Turn you loose. 

HEARD:  Hearts of stone.  Setting you free.  Liquid Light. 

HEARD SONG:  When I survey the wondrous cross.

NON KING JAMES VERSION OF THE OLD HYMN, THE WONDROUS CROSS:

When I study the wondrous cross where Jesus died, I count my gains as loss.  Lord Jesus, I disdain my pride and do not want to boast except in Your death.  Worthless things that lure me, I sacrifice them to You.

From Your head, hands and feet, Your sorrow and love met together and flowed down.   Your crown of thorns was so rich.  If the whole world was mine, it would be too small an offering for Your amazing love that demands my life, my all.

COMMENT:  I have heard this song many times this month.

HEARD SONG:  When I survey the wondrous cross.

1.         When I survey the wondrous cross

            on which the Prince of Glory died;

            my richest gain I count but loss,

            and pour contempt on all my pride.

2.         Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,

            save in the death of Christ, my God;

            all the vain things that charm me most,

            I sacrifice them to his blood.

3.         See, from his head, his hands, his feet,

            sorrow and love flow mingled down.

            Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,

            or thorns compose so rich a crown.

4.         Were the whole realm of nature mine,

            that were an offering far too small;

            love so amazing, so divine,

            demands my soul, my life, my all.
