Worship Songs
We have known forgiveness
We have known forgiveness
God has shown us mercy
Rescued us from darkness
Safe into the Kingdom
We have heard the gospel
Bringing our salvation
By the blood of Jesus
We've been given freedom
So, Father, we will live to honour you
Growing in the knowledge of your truth
Fill us with your grace and make us new, make us new
We will bear you fruit in doing good
Strengthen us with power to make it through
We will bring you praise and honour you, honour you

Notes and files
Taking themes from Paul's introduction and prayer in Colossians 1, I wanted to write a song to help us respond to the truth of the gospel with the way we live our lives.
The verses are a gospel-feel celebration of what God has done and the chorus lifts with our response. I was keen to keep things corporate, so the whole song uses 'we' even where 'I' might make the lines feel more natural.
UPDATE: Oct 4, 2008 - small lyric change, swapping 'power' and 'grace' in the chorus to fit better with the text. I haven't updated the mp3 yet.
