Loving My Jesus - Casting Crowns

— "Music-Only" Video Below —

Hello!

Today's music, Loving My Jesus, comes from the group Casting Crowns.

If you've kept your ear tuned to Contemporary Christian Music—Casting Crowns will be a familiar name to you.

According to their website, the band has released a number of hit songs, gets regular air-play on Christian media, wins awards, breaks sales records with their albums, and and sells out arenas during concert tours.

But the best part, is that their purpose is to point to the Author of Life, the King of kings, and Lord of lords—Christ Jesus the Messiah!

A quote from the band's website states:

"When discussing the band’s latest project, Only Jesus, lead singer Mark Hall takes great pains to shift the focus off of the band, off of himself, and solely onto the one they sing about. 

Only Jesus personifies the band’s mission to help people understand the nature of God’s love and Jesus’s sacrifice, digging deep into the who and the why, inviting the listener on a heart-journey of foundational faith, immovable trust and ultimately, freedom in Christ.  

“I want people to see that God is the author and the finisher of our faith,” Hall shares. “He starts the work and He finishes the work. If we could just rest in the fact that He saved us, that He’s got us, we can rest in what He’s doing now and strive for what’s ahead.” 

It’s a timeless message, and one that’s still changing lives today.

For Casting Crowns, there’s one thing they hope people will take away after listening to the new album—only Jesus."

Loving My Jesus - Lyrics

I was a wandering soul
Traveling a well worn road
A sinner so far from home
No second chance in sight

I heard You call my name
I felt You lift my shame
And I made a vow that day
That I’d spend the rest of my life

Loving my Jesus
Showing my scars
Telling my story of how mercy
Can reach You where You are

And I pray the whole world hears
The cry of my heart
Is to see all the ones I love
Loving my Jesus    

Sin tries to make you hide
Whispers that same old lie
Keep all your pain inside
‘Cause no one will understand

The last thing this lost world needs
Is someone I’m trying to be
Truth that has set me free
Is that I’m just a broken man

Chorus

When all is said and done
When my last song’s been sung
I stand face to face with the One
Who gave all for me

May all I have to show
Be all that mattered most
Making Your great name known
Let this be my only legacy

Loving my Jesus
Showing my scars
Telling my story of how Mercy
Can reach You where You are

And I pray the whole world hears
The cry of my heart
Is to see all the ones I love
Loving my Jesus

Thanks so much for stopping by—

Jesus is LORD!

Time is growing short!

Seek Him!

✝   Romans 10:9-10

9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 

---------------------------------

If you've made this decision—believed it in your heart and confessed it with your mouth—let God speak to you by reading the Bible—and seek out fellowship with others who also believe.

Pour out your heart to God in Prayer (simply speaking to Him in reverence)—asking Him to reveal Himself to you and to provide for your needs.

Life in Jesus is the best decision you will ever make.

God Bless You!

John 14:6
