Jesus Saves

I wept through this song last night at our Easter services at Long Hollow.  It's called Jesus Saves and was written by my friend, David Moffitt.  The lyrics are incredible.  I'm so grateful for what Jesus did for us.  He is risen, He is risen indeed!  Happy Easter!

Chorus:

Freedom’s calling, chains are falling, hope is dawning bright and true. Day is breaking, night is quaking. God is making all things new. Jesus saves.

Verse:

Hear the heart of heaven beating, “Jesus saves. Jesus saves.”
And the hush of mercy breathing, “Jesus saves. Jesus saves.”
Hear the host of angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King.”
And the sounding joy repeating, “Jesus saves.”

Verse 2:

See the humblest hearts adore Him. Jesus saves. Jesus saves.
And the wisest bow before Him. Jesus saves. Jesus saves.
See the sky alive with praise, melting darkness in its blaze.
There is light forevermore in “Jesus saves.”

Verse 3:

He will live, our sorrow sharing. Jesus saves. Jesus saves.
He will die our burden bearing. Jesus saves. Jesus saves.
“It is done!” will shout the cross, “Christ has paid redemption’s cost!”
While the empty tomb’s declaring, “Jesus saves!”

Chorus:

Freedom’s calling, chains are falling, hope is dawning bright and true. Day is breaking, night is quaking. God is making all things new. Freedom’s calling, chains are falling, hope is dawning bright and true. Day is breaking, night is quaking. God is making all things new. Jesus saves! Jesus saves!

Verse 4:

Oh, to grace, how great a debtor, Jesus saves. Jesus saves.
Are the saints who shout together, Jesus saves. Jesus saves.
Rising up so vast and strong lifting up salvation’s song.
The redeemed will sing forever, “Jesus saves!”
Rising up so vast and strong lifting up salvation’s song.
The redeemed will sing forever, “Jesus saves!”

I don't know any of you but our local radio station (Knoxville(88.3) played this song and it stopped me in my tracks. My daughters were talking to me over the song and I tried not to be rude and listened to them as much as i could. But I could tell the Spirit was talking to me with this song. I come home and looked it up on the internet and I been in tears ever since. There are few song that capture the heart of the Holy Spirit as much as this song. Thank you
