There are some songs although written in the twenty-first century sound like hymns written in the eighteenth. One Gospel by City Alight is one such song, another one that has that ‘feel’ for me is The Goodness of God…getting my drift now, I hope. It invokes that atmosphere of reverence that knows the God you’re singing to is THE Almighty.
Johnny Robinson and Rich Thompson wrote this beautiful song and
their intent can be felt as you sing. “When writing this track our aim was
to provide a means for unifying believers around the world in the singing of
our shared gospel, handed down to us from the apostles, made possible for us by
the saving work of Jesus. Whether you are in a small group, with your own church,
or gathered with a diverse crowd of believers, we hope this song will unify
hearts and minds around the great truths of the gospel on which we stand.”
It's important to be reminded of the sacrifice that Jesus made at
Calvary. That it was premeditated and executed flawlessly and by so doing given
those that call on that name a power that anything that wants to contradict it
will most certainly fail because it is no match.
Lyrics
There is one Gospel on which I stand
For all eternity
It is my story, my Father’s plan
The Son has rescued me
Oh what a Gospel, oh what a peace
My highest joy and my deepest need
Now and forever He is my light
I stand in the Gospel of Jesus Christ
Verse 2
There is one Gospel to which I cling
All else I count as loss
For there, where justice and mercy meet
He save me on the cross
No more I boast in what I can bring
No more I carry the weight of sin
For he has brought me from death to life
I stand in the Gospel of Jesus Christ
