Ryan Stevenson released this great song back in 2017. He and TobyMac co-wrote along with another talented writer. I really like how the message of the song brings Christians back to their roots. Jesus taught His disciples many great things about God and His love for us. Then before He ascended into heaven, he asked His followers to spread the good news and to make disciples. Over the years since this amazing event, many people have tried to express the importance of the gospel (good news) and how it applies to everyday life. I think the writers of this song do a great job at that task. Enjoy.
Verses for Consideration:
Matthew 28:19-20 ESV
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Mark 16:15 ESV
And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.
Lyrics:
A restless generation We're turning over every stone Hoping to find salvation In a world that's left us cold
Can we get back to the altar? Back to the arms of our first love There's only one way to the Father And He's calling out to us
To the captive, it looks like freedom To the orphan, it feels like home To the skeptic, it might sound crazy To believe in a God who loves In a world, where our hearts are breaking And we're lost in the mess we've made Like a blinding light, in the dead of night It's the Gospel The Gospel that makes a way It's the Gospel that makes a way
It's the cure for our condition It's the good news for us all It's greater than religion It's the power of the Cross
So can we get back to the altar? Back to the arms of our first love There's only one way to the Father And He's calling out to us
To the captive, it looks like freedom To the orphan, it feels like home To the skeptic, it might sound crazy To believe in a God who loves In a world, where our hearts are breaking And we're lost in the mess we've made Like a blinding light, in the dead of night It's the Gospel The Gospel that makes a way It's the Gospel that makes a way It's the Gospel that makes a way
It's the Gospel that makes a way
The amazing news of the Gospel Is not that we can receive Jesus into our lives But that He's already received us Into His
In my own life, it means forgiveness When I know I deserved the fall It called me out of my darkness And carried me to the Cross In a moment, my eyes were opened In that moment, my heart was changed Like a blinding light, in the dead of night It's the Gospel
Oh, to the captive, it looks like freedom To the orphan, it feels like home To the skeptic, it might sound crazy To believe in a God who loves In a world, where our hearts are breaking And we're lost in the mess we've made Like a blinding light, in the dead of night It's the Gospel The Gospel that makes a way It's the Gospel that makes a way It's the Gospel that makes a way It's the Gospel that makes a way
It's the Gospel The Gospel that makes a way
