Seize the Moment – Day 1194

Today’s modern-day hymn focus will be

O Come to the Altar

 

1 Peter 5:6-7 (NASB95)    

 

 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.”

 

Released in early 2016 from Elevation Worship, the musical group from Elevation Church in Charlotte, NC, this song is a call to anyone to come to the loving arms of Jesus. They wanted people to know that Jesus came for the broken, the messy, the sinner and they are invited to meet Him at the altar.  The altar is the place where anyone is able to find forgiveness from their sins  and respite from their burdens. This song is a wonderful, powerful reminder of the comfort of the gospel.

 

O come to the altar The Father’s arms are open wide

Forgiveness was bought with the precious blood of Jesus Christ

 

We need to wake up and rejoice in the fact that because of Jesus and what He did for us, we are a new creation. We need to let others know of this treasure and that it is for anyone who would come to Him and receive this gift.
