WeWorship: Mighty To Save

She never left the Temple but stayed there day and night, worshiping God with fasting and prayer. -- Luke 2:37

I think that waiting marks one's life. It's challenging to wait for something and yes, sometimes it's just hard to wait on God. I'm reminded we're on His timetable, not ours. Perhaps you are waiting for God to reveal a more exciting and awesome plan for your life. Ask God to show you the potential of waiting on Him... God helps us learn to wait. In the meantime, let us worship Him for He is mighty to save! Do you love the song, too?

Something Beautiful

Words and Music by William J. and Gloria Gaither

Key: Eb

Time: 4/4

Chorus

Eb       Ebdim   Eb           Bb7     Bbdim  Bb7
Something beautiful, something good

  Fm(maj7) Fm7 Bb7  Eb    Eb7
All my confusion He understood;

Ab                                           Eb/Ab    Eb   D/G7  Cm
All I had to offer Him was brokenness and strife

Bb/Eb Ab6     Bb/Eb             Bb7                     Eb  Ab  Eb
But he made something beautiful of my life

Verse

               Eb                Ebmaj7
If there ever were dreams
                     Eb6          Ebdim
That were lofty and noble
Fm7                                                Bb7
They were my dreams at the start
                                       Fm (maj7)            Fm7
And the hopes for life's best were the hopes
             Bb7           Eb/Ab            Eb   Ebdim  Eb
That I harbored down deep in my heart
                Eb                            Ebmaj7
But my dreams turned to ashes
                Eb7                                         Ab                           Ab6
And my castles all crumbled, my fortune turned to loss
         Cm               F7              Cm7      F7
So I wrapped it all in the rags of life
        Bb/Fm7 Bb6  Bb/Fm  Bb/Eb  Bb7
And laid it at the cross

Chorus

This is the message of the cross, that we can be free 
                      Csus2                C           G
To live in the victory and turn from our sin.

For there you revealed your love and you laid down your life. 
 
 
Verse 2: 
 
 
This is the message of the cross, that we can be free. 
To lay all our burdens here at the foot of the tree. 
The cross was the shame of the world 
But the glory of God 
For Jesus, You conquered sin and You gave us new life. 

A:

This is the message of the cross 


Verse 3: 
 
 
This is the message of the cross, that we can be free. 
To hunger for heaven, Lord, to hunger for Thee. 
"The cross is such foolishness to the perishing, 
But to us who are being saved, it is the power of God." 
 
 
Chorus B: 

You set us free when we come to the cross. 
You pour out your blood for we are broken and lost. 
Here we are healed and you cover our sin. 
It's here you save us. 
You set me free when I come to the cross. 
Pour out your blood for I am broken and lost. 
Here I am healed and you cover my sin. 
It's here you save me. 
This is the message of the cross.
