Lyrics

Album cover for Died With Christ
We're not born as non-Jewish “sinners,” but as Jews
Yet we know that a person is made right with God
Not by following the law,
But by trusting in Jesus Christ

So we, too, have put our faith in Jesus Christ,
That we're made right with God
Since we trusted in Christ.

Not by following the law,
Because no one can be made right with God
By following the law.

We Jews
Came to Christ,
Trying to be
Made right with God,
And it all
Became clear
That we are sinners, too.

Does this mean
That the Christ
Encourages sin?
No way! But I
Would be wrong
To begin teaching again those things
I gave up.

'Twas the law that put me to death,
And so I died
Died to the law so that I can now live for God.
Put to death on the cross
Died with Christ, and I do not
live anymore—
it is Christ who lives in me.

We Jews
Came to Christ,
Trying to be
Made right with God,
And it all
Became clear
That we are sinners, too.

Does that mean
That the Christ
Encourages sin?
No way! But I
Would be wrong
To begin teaching again those things
I gave up.

Instrumental

Does that mean
That the Christ
Encourages sin?
No way! But I
Would be wrong
To begin teaching again those things
I gave up.

Biography

I've been making music and writing songs since I was old enough to reach the piano. I now am a multi-instrumentalist and arranger, with experience arranging for every size of group: from small bands to orchestras.

Married in 1994, I began taking jobs as a worship pastor, arranging and directing bands for contemporary and "seeker-targeted" churches in Saskatoon, New Jersey, Kingston, and Hamilton. I currently lead worship at Harrowsmith Free Methodist Church in Harrowsmith, Ontario.

While serving as a contemporary church planter and music director for an Anglican congregation, I began putting liturgy and scripture to music in 2012... [more]
