New Bethany is blessed to have two amazing men who have the opportunity to lead in worship through music. One is our Pastor of Worship and Administration, Dan Brothers, and the other is the Pastor to Students, Joey Jernigan. Each of them are skilled musicians and vocalists, but what sets them apart is their consistent ability to choose songs that resonate with their particular “constituency.”

Recently, we have been singing three songs that you should check out if you have not heard them already or if they are not part of the current rotation in your services. The first is called Sweetly Broken, by Jeremy Riddle and can be found on his project Full Attention.

Verse:
To the cross I look, to the cross I cling
Of its suffering I do drink
Of its work I do sing.
For on it my Savior both bruised and crushed
Showed that God is love
And God is just.

Chorus:
At the cross You beckon me
You draw me gently to my knees, and I am
Lost for words, so lost in love,
I’m sweetly broken, wholly surrendered.

Verse:
What a priceless gift, undeserved life
Have I been given
Through Christ crucified

You’ve called me out of death
You’ve called me into life
And I was under Your wrath
Now through the cross I’m reconciled

Chorus

Bridge:
In awe of the cross I must confess
How wondrous Your redeeming love and
How great is Your faithfulness

Chorus

In addition there are two songs recently released on the newest Hillsong Live project called, Mighty to Save. The first is the title song and the second is called From the Inside Out.

Verse:
Everyone needs compassion
A love that’s never failing
Let mercy fall on me.
Everyone needs forgiveness
A kindness of a Savior
The hope of nations.

Chorus:
Savior-
He can move the mountains
My God is Mighty to save
He is Mighty to save.
Forever-
Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave.

Verse:
So take me as You find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again.
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender.

Chorus

Bridge
Shine your light and let the whole world see
We’re singing for the glory of the risen King…Jesus

Chorus

From the Inside Out
Verse:
A thousand times I’ve failed
Still Your mercy remains And should I stumble again
I’m caught in Your grace
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame

Bridge:
In my heart and my soul
Lord I give You control
Consume me from the inside out
Lord let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love you from the inside out

Verse:
Your will above all else
My purpose remains
The art of losing myself
In bringing You praise
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame

Chorus:
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades.
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame.
And the cry of my heart
Is to bring You praise
From the inside out
Lord my soul cries out.

Bridge

Chorus
