With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come; I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone. Psalm 71:15-16 ESV Growing up in my church back home, there were times we would have testimony service and people would stand up and share what God had done for them that week. We would all celebrate and rejoice for the goodness of God and every now and then someone would proclaim “but God!” Because if it hadn’t been for the Lord, they would still be in the darkness of their situation. "Because of Jesus" is our proclamation of His goodness and faithfulness. It feels like the encouragement and joy we would experience during testimony service. You can’t help but praise God for all He has done for us when you tell others of His mercies! And no matter what we are walking through, I know that because of Jesus, walking through anything with Him is so much better than it would be without Him. The first verse of the song, written by my husband Ryan, is one of my favorite verses on the entire album: "You made a covenant with me, signed by the blood that still speaks." When I think about that, I'm reminded of how the blood of Jesus still works. It's still covering us. It's still redeeming us. The chorus says "Now my heart cries, this is my redeemer." If my heart would cry out anything, I would want it to cry out - Jesus, you're my redeemer. Jesus, because of you I'm made free. =============================== LYRICS VERSE 1 You made a covenant with me Signed by the blood that still speaks Now I'm forgiven, I'm called righteous I'm made clean VERSE 2 There on the cross at Calvary You gave it all to purchase me You are the Savior and the God Who set me free CHORUS Now my heart cries "This is my Redeemer" With my whole life I will give You praise All the glory to the One Who's worthy Because of Jesus, I have been changed VERSE 3 You made a way for me to enter Into Your holy place forever And now I’m hidden, I am covered, I found peace VERSE 4 Into your likeness You transform me Making me holy, like You're holy No longer I who live, but Christ Who lives in me CHORUS Now my heart cries "This is my Redeemer" With my whole life I will give You praise All the glory to the One Who's worthy Because of Jesus, I have been changed BRIDGE You bring freedom to the captives Good news to the poor Healing to the broken And joy to those who mourn You turn ashes into beauty The ruins You restore I am a testimony Of the goodness of the Lord BRIDGE You bring freedom to the captives Good news to the poor Healing to the broken Joy to those who mourn You turn ashes into beauty The ruins You restore I am a testimony Of the goodness of the Lord CHORUS Now my heart cries "This is my Redeemer" With my whole life I will give You praise All the glory to the One Who's worthy Because of Jesus, I have been changed Because of Jesus, I have been changed Because of Jesus, I have been changed =============================== ADDITIONAL CREDITS: Mixed by Kyle Lee Mastered by Bob Boyd for Ambient Digital Captured at The Mulehouse in Columbia, TN Lead Vocal: Charity Gayle Acoustic Guitar & Vocal: Ryan Kennedy B3 and Organ: Ron Rawls Bass: Travis Dykes Electric Guitars: Casey Moore Keys: Cam Cook Drums: Emilee Hudspeth Worship Team: Qirsten Carter, Bethany Easter, Terry Fisher, Steven Musso, Sarah Perez, Bryan Pound, Kelsey White =============================== #BecauseOfJesus #Rejoice #CharityGayle
