The Rend Collective Concert Was Great!

We had a wonderful time at the concert.  This band is so high energy and fun.  

There songs though, have great depth to the lyrics.

                                  "Boldly I Approach (The Art Of Celebration)                      

By grace alone somehow I stand
Where even angels fear to tread
Invited by redeeming love
Before the throne of God above
He pulls me close with nail-scarred hands
Into His everlasting arms

When condemnation grips my heart
And Satan tempts me to despair
I hear the voice that scatters fear
The Great I Am the Lord is here
Oh praise the One who fights for me
And shields my soul eternally

Boldly I approach Your throne
Blameless now I'm running home
By Your blood I come
Welcomed as Your own
Into the arms of majesty

Behold the bright and risen Son
More beauty than this world has known
I'm face to face with Love Himself
His perfect spotless righteousness
A thousand years, a thousand tongues
Are not enough to sing His praise

Boldly I approach Your throne
Blameless now I'm running home
By Your blood I come
Welcomed as Your own
Into the arms of majesty
[x2]

This is the art of celebration
Knowing we're free from condemnation
Oh praise the One, praise the One
Who made an end to all my sin
[x2]

Boldly I approach Your throne
Blameless now I'm running home
By Your blood I come
Welcomed as Your own
Into the arms of majesty

As we spent several hours worshiping the Lord, I looked around at all the people at the concert that I didn't know and realized that this is what heaven will be like.  People from every nation, ethnic group and tongue singing praise to God for His greatness.

It was a joy to be with my mom, Rachel and Sarah, and our friend Brooke and to worship with them.

Have a happy Sunday!
