"Bless the One"

​I hope you have been blessed and encouraged by our worship set on God’s power and namely Jesus’s victory over darkness.  Truly, our Savior is high above all things, has conquered the enemy, and at His name the darkness must tremble and flee.  Praise the Lord!  To close out this set, I want to focus on a beautiful new song that was recently released.  It is a simple, hymn-like song that covers the gospel message and gives us a powerful opportunity to respond to Jesus’s grace with a chorus of worship.  

“Bless the One” by Mack Brock and Matt Maher stirs up worship.  The lyrics remind us of what Jesus has done for us, what He has won for us, and what He has in store for us; and it gives the opportunity to appropriately respond with heartfelt thanksgiving and praise.  While I love the whole song, I’d say that my favorite part is the chorus which is a simple declaration of worship that can be built into an anthem of praise.

"Bless the One who reigns forever
Bless the One who ransomed me
From death to life there is no other
Bless the only risen King"

​I pray that you are greatly blessed and encouraged by this powerful song and that it stirs in your heart a renewed desire to bless the One who ransomed you.  Here’s “Bless the One” by Mack Brock and Matt Maher.

"Bless the One"
by Mack Brock and Matt Maher

From heights of heaven
To darkest night
The mission of the Father's heart upon Your mind
Nothing else would stop You

Beneath the burden
You felt the weight
You held the tension of the price You'd have to pay
Nothing would stop You

Bless the One who reigns forever
Bless the One who ransomed me
From death to life there is no other
Bless the only risen King

The Lamb of glory poured out for us
At Calvary Your body broken on the cross
Nothing would stop You

The Lion storming through gates of hell
Defeated death and then You carried back from the dead
Nothing could stop You
Nothing could stop

Bless the One who reigns forever
Bless the One who ransomed me
From death to life there is no other
Bless the only risen King

You conquered hell, the veil was torn
The enemy beneath Your feet
Beyond the fear of any storm
My eyes are on eternity

​You conquered hell, the veil was torn
The enemy beneath Your feet
Beyond the fear of any storm
My eyes are on eternity
My eyes are on eternity

Bless the One who reigns forever
Bless the One who ransomed me
From death to life there is no other
Bless the only risen King

Bless the One who reigns forever
Bless the One who ransomed me
From death to life there is no other
Bless the only risen King
