The Gospel Song on Good Friday

Posted by Jon Seger
I know this is a few days late, but it's still worth the post.  This past Friday, my family & I attended the Good Friday service at our local church, Sovereign Grace Church.  One of the songs that we sang was "The Gospel Song."  It's a simple song with only 4 lines, but it encapsulates the entire gospel as well as many of the core doctrines of our Christian faith... The Incarnation, Christ's active & passive obedience, man's sinfulness, substitutionary atonement, and imputation among others.  Without further ado, here are the lyrics:
"Holy God in love became
Perfect man to bear my blame.
On the cross He took my sin
By His death I live again."
How rich in doctrine and comforting in nature! This is the gospel.

Happy Easter & belated Good Friday!
