ZACHARY'S NOTES:
Stanza 1 // When Christ “enters” our “human story” he comes to destroy all of the stories we tell ourselves and one another. The Pharisees who placed limits on God’s action in the Law - Jesus comes that we might know “unbounded grace” in His Word.
Stanza 2 // We rise, shine, and sing to Christ because of what He comes to accomplish. Our Lord comes to those “surrounded by death and sin” - to send “the pow’r of evil reeling” and give those without hope “freedom, light…life, and healing.” Where even Scripture causes us to ask whether we have spoken and acted against God’s name, Christ comes to forgive.
Stanza 3 // The strength of Christ to bind the devil and come for sinners is the power Christ gives to His people! This is “our song” and “our prayer” as God’s forgiven people - that the world would see and appreciate God for who He is and what He has done.
Stanza 4 // When Christ makes us a “new creation” by His promise, we see a God “outside His mind” as God at work for us, saving and giving us freedom.
