Once Again.... a song that causes reflection

Charlotte's Easter picture April 8, 2012

I've heard "Once Again" on the radio a couple of times in the past few weeks.  The version I've heard is by Fusebox.  When I started looking for it online, I learned that Matt Redman has also recorded it.  I'm not sure which version came first.

I'll post the lyrics and a couple of different links that you can listen to it on.  You may have a favorite version.  I like the Fusebox one, likely because that's what I've come to know from the radio.

"Once Again" lyrics:

Once again I look upon the cross where You died
I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside
Once again I thank You, once again I pour out my life

Jesus Christ, I think upon Your sacrifice
You became nothing, poured out to death
Many times I've wondered at Your gift of life
And I'm in that place once again

And once again I look upon the cross where You died
I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside
Once again I thank You, once again I pour out my life

Now You are exalted to the highest place
King of the heavens, where one day I'll bow
But for now, I marvel at Your saving grace
And I'm full of praise once again, I'm full of praise once again

Once again I look upon the cross where You died
I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside
Once again I thank You, once again I pour out my life

Thank You for the cross
Thank You for the cross
Thank You for the cross, my friend

Thank You for the cross
Thank You for the cross
Thank You for the cross, my friend

Once again I look upon the cross where You died
I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside

And once again I look upon the cross where You died
I'm humbled by Your mercy and I'm broken inside
Once again I thank You, once again I pour out my life
Once again I thank You
Jesus Christ, I think upon Your sacrifice

Today is Easter Sunday and a good day for reflection.  Every day is a good day for reflection, there just always isn't time for it.  Today I have a little bit of time for reflection, so I thought about this song. 

As I allow myself to reflect upon Christ, the life lived, the sacrifice made, and the life redeemed.... I am humbled and grateful. 

Have you taken time for reflection lately on your journey? 

Blessings on the journey ahead!
