Songs for Meditation on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday

I have been searching in my music library for some music appropriate for playing during this Holy Week, from Maundy Thursday to Good Friday, and came up with 3 songs that would be perfect for listening as you meditate this Holy Week. Some are not as orchestral and not played with strings or the clarinet but the lyrics are great. 

The first song is "Thank You for the Cross", written and composed by Mark Altrogge. This is from the album "Chosen Treasure" and below are its lyrics.

Thank You For The Cross 

Verse:
Thank you for the cross the mighty cross
That God Himself should die for such as us
And everyday we’re changed into Your image more and more
Yes by the cross we’ve truly been transformed

Chorus:
And we’re so amazed
And we give You praise
That You would save us at such a cost
We’re so amazed
And we give You praise
For the power of the cross
For the power of the cross


The second song is "Redeemer, Savior, Friend" by Darrell Evans. I first heard this from the album "The Smithton Outpouring."

Staying Up for the "Savior Clip"

It’s late and I just finished working on a video I edited for our church service at 10:30 AM later. I thought that I won’t be needing an Apidexin if I would stay up this late everyday. But staying up was all worth it after seeing the final product.

I gave the video the title of “Savior Clip”. I will be showing it tomorrow in the middle part of my sermon. It shows some scenes from the movie “The Passion of the Christ” and uses the song entitled “Savior” from Steven Curtis Chapman’s “declaration” album. I will be uploading it tomorrow. You can use it to motivate you to meditate on what Christ did for all of us as you try spend this Holy Week as meaningful as you can.
