Verse 1


You lived a perfect life

You were the Messiah that was prophesied Oh Jesus

You walked up Calvary’s hill

And you carried the cross to where you’d be killed Oh Jesus

You gave your life for us

You bore our shame and poured out your atoning blood Oh Jesus



Chorus: 



You cleansed us of all unrighteousness

You made us a new creation

By your grace I'm restored

By your love I'm made yours

Because you gave it all for me

Yes, you gave it all for me (2x after verse 2)





Verse 2: 



Sin has no more strength

I have been set free from its control by faith in you Jesus

Death has lost its sting

It has no more power you have claimed victory oh Jesus

Forever we’ll give praise

To your might, your glory and  your everlasting name, Oh Jesus 



Bridge: 

Because of you I freely live
Because of you I have hope. (repeat 2x and end with chorus slowly)

Hola WindSailor!

I dont listen to christian music much, but when I look on here for christian music I just love it! nice rhythm, can go with the music genre pop, that slow piano music that I don't know the name of :P No nitpicks either, great song!

(Sorry if this sounded real dull, I was kind of in a rush while making this, If I wasn't I would have around a good solid 50-100 words. But yeah, sorry this got rushed :P)

Hi there WindSailor, DrFeelGood to review your wonder piece. I found this one charming, warm and pleasant to read. The surprising thing is, I am not a Christian but I liked it. I had read your previous lyrics, "Nothing can stop you Jesus," so this looks a bit repetitive. Yet, there is this cheerful optimism and hopefulness in your writing which still working effortlessly.

I don't know why, but I am unable to play your track on soundcloud. So I will focus only on nitpicks.

There are some typos here and there, which you can correct.

You were the Messiah that was prophesied Oh Jesus


Messiah I think should be capitalized.

By your love I'm made yours


'Yours' is repeating again. It disturbs the flow. You might want to rephrase this. "By your love I feel complete' or something like that.

I have been set free from its control by faith in you Jesus


The 'free from its control by faith in you' looks oddly worded. I will actually advise you to repeat the usage of sin twice in this line. "The faith in you keeps me free from sin" might look better here. The 'free from its control by faith in you'

Apart from these tiny nitpicks I like this. Like I said, it's cheerful, warm and optimistic in its tone. Great Job overall!

Hey there, here to review!

I really like this lyrical piece, given that I'm a Christian myself :P

The only critique I can really give here is probably grammar and such so...

And you carried the cross where you’d be killed Oh Jesus


I think you should have added a 'to' after 'cross', since Jesus carried the cross with him all the way.

I have been made free from its control by faith in you Jesus


Made free sounds a little weird here, perhaps consider changing it to 'set free'? Also add a 'my' before 'faith', since you're referring to your own faith in Jesus.

To your might and your glory to your everlasting name, Oh Jesus


The 'and' could actually be replaced with a comma, and instead place it after 'glory'.

"To your might, your glory and your everlasting name, Oh Jesus"

I really liked this piece! The lyrics are really meaningful and flow well, other than the nitpicks above :P

Hope this review helped, and God bless! :)
