Oh, Cleanser of the mess I've made,
Upon the hill our places trade.
Stretched on a cross, Your body crushed,
By human hands You formed from dust.

(chorus)
How wonderful Your mercy is!
How awesome are Your ways!
I come, I come to worship You
For all You've done.

Oh, Cleanser of the mess I've made,
Your boundless love for me portrayed.
With patience for my learning curve,
By holding back what I deserve.

I wanted to share a couple of verses from a song called "For All You've Done" by Clint Lagerberg. Point of Grace is working on their new record due out this fall and they have fallen in love with this song. John Mays, their producer and my co-producer, shared it with me. The lyric speaks for itself. Praise the Lord for His mercy and that He doesn't give us what we deserve.

I am trying not to stress too much over planning for Easter...as if any celebration I would put together could adequately express our gratitude for the cross. However, it is an important part of my job and I want to create an environment of worship where people can freely praise the Lord for all He's done in our lives. These lyrics have stuck with me. I plan to use them on Easter morning. This last verse is my favorite.

Oh, Cleanser of the mess I've made,
With everything at Your feet laid.
I watch as all my cares erode,
As from my soul these words explode!

Oh, how wonderful Your mercy is!
How awesome are Your ways!
I come, I come to worship You
For all You've done.
