Story behind the song
I wrote this as a hymn text and my friend Chad Lewis wrote the music. You hear his vocals and guitar work on the demo (check out his website from my "Links" section. He has a new CD out called "Faded Grass" that is wonderful).
Although contemporary worship songs about the Cross are too rare, rarer still are those that speak of the resurrection and Second Coming. This song shows all these things in context.
THEMES: Crucifixion, Resurrection, Ascension, Second Coming, Lordship of Christ, Messiah, Adoration, Conquering, Encouragement, Kingship, Seasonal: Easter/Ascension, Victory, Warfare, Worship.
