Son of El Elyon
Hated, forsaken by men
A Man of pains
Who knows the sickness of all
As one from whom man hid his face
He has borne our briefs
And He carried all our pains
He was pierced for our transgressions
He was crushed for our sins
He is the Son of El Elyon
Worthy is He Who was slain
(Worthy's the Lamb that was slain)
To receive power and wealth and wisdom,
Might and honor and glory and blessing
All we like sheep have gone far
We've all turned away
In the flesh we have devised
A heaven and earth without God
And the LORD has laid
Laid on Him all our sin
He was oppressed and afflicted
Yet He spoke not a word
It was the will of the LORD
To put Him to grief
His soul was tendered for guilt
As witness of His coming bride
Out of perfect love
He has seen and was glad
This bride of Christ is forgiven
By His blood we are saved
Written using Isaiah 53 and Revelation 5:12

Come, Bless the LORD
As a believer I know that when I didn't have faith in Christ I didn't have real access to God, but now in Christ I have access in one Spirit to the Father (Ephesians 2:18). That started with a call to believe the Gospel. When I answered with belief I also became His servant, in part because I was purchased with precious blood, the blood of Christ (1 Peter 1:18-19). Being our sinless, once-for-all sacrifice for sin and our eternal High Priest, He fulfilled the Law and became the way of true, blessed, permanent access to the Father. In the Old Covenant under the Law, only a few men were chosen to be priests in a physical temple in Jerusalem to give gifts and make sacrifices. But now because of Christ and His high priestly work as the Son of God, I have glorious access to God which exceeds all that the Levitical priesthood ever had! Now I can bless the Lord as His servant in His house, and I am now even a part of His house with those who believe in Him for eternal life.
And His fullest, 'truest' holy place was never a part of the temple that was made with hands. Before Christ, everyone was under the Law, and "the Law made nothing perfect" (Heb. 7:19a). Now in Christ Who fulfilled the Law, I can lift up my hands to the real holy place where God is, not a man-made copy, because through faith my sins which prevented a relationship with God were forgiven, no longer a barrier, and I received the Spirit of God to dwell within me.
In Him "we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him" (Ephesians 3:12). I can pray to Him anytime, and I can lift up my hands and bless Him Who because of His love chose to save me and be with me.
Jesus made the way through giving Himself as the perfect sacrifice for our sin. He is our great High Priest, having actually entered the Father's presence for us, both as God and Man, as no other priest could. Through Christ "there is a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God" (Hebrews 7:19).
I can worship God wherever I am!

New Recording: By Day The LORD Commands His Love
This is a worship song I wrote a few years back. I haven't written that much for some time, and I see this as the season of my life to finally do this recording project. I am excited to see how the Lord will direct and bless this endeavor. I do not plan to stop recording, as this has been a long overdue work that I believe needs to keep going until the Lord takes me home.
Scripture verses used:
Psalm 42:8; 149:5; 65:8b; 17:15b
Lyrics:
By day the Lord commands His love
And at night His song is with me (42:8a)
In glory joyful I will sing on my bed (149:5)
A prayer to the God of my life (42:8b)
You make the going out of the morning
And the evening to shout for joy (65:8b)
If my breath shall tarry and I awake
With Your likeness I'm satisfied (17:15b)
(Most of the words are from the Psalms using the ESV.)
May this song bless you richly, encouraging you to keep yourselves in the love of God (Jude 21), and may it bless the Lord as His Spirit leads you to sing it to Him.
Grace and Peace,
Josh
