I’ve been known to do series of blogs for Advent before, so why not Lent? I did a Friday five favourites of Easter songs a year or two ago, but I thought I’d share some of them again and some new ones too, one each week. I’ve just put together an Easter compilation CD for my car so I’m pretty just they’ll all come from there 🙂

Since I found this particular YouTube video a few days ago I haven’t been able to get enough of it, I’ve been playing it loads and it keeps getting stuck in my head! I hope you enjoy it and get something from it/find it helpful/whatever the right phrase is there!

(the song itself starts around 40 seconds in)

There is a green hill in a faraway country,
It stands near a city, outside a wall,
Where Jesus our Saviour, the King of all glory
Suffered and died to save us all.

I may not know of the pain of His passion,
But I believe that in my place he stood:
That I may know freedom and live in forgiveness,
For I am redeemed by His great love.

There was no other good enough
Willing to pay the price of sin
For he was the only one who could reach out
And unlock the gates of heav’n to let us in.

So very dearly Jesus has loved us,
And all he would ask is that we love him too,
And trust him for all that this life lays before us,
That we would try His work to do.

There was no other good enough
Willing to pay the price of sin
For he was the only one who could reach out
And unlock the gates of heav’n to let us in.
