Passionate Price Demanding All My Life

2 Corinthians 1:9 (NRSV)  Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death so that we would rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead.  

This verse caught my eye and struck my heart this week. Then this song began rolling about in my soul. I think this is part of the depths of the cross referred to yesterday?
(Song video at the end of the blog.) 

It was in the way You came
As a lowly babe
That Your glory was displayed
And it was in the sacrifice
Of the purest life
It was in Your Father’s will obeyed

chorus:
The perfect Lamb that was slain
And there’s the glory of Your name
No other one, no other way for me to see
You took my place, You are the way
And there’s the glory of Your name
Yes, there’s the glory of Your name

It was in Your victory, risen for the world to see
That all who would believe could enter in
And it is in the passionate price
Now demanding all my life
And beating in the chambers of my heart

chorus
And there is nothing in this world
That could take the place of You
That could take the place of You my Jesus
And there is nothing in this life
That could take the place of
One life, one love
One power to save us all
One hope, one truth
And one glory in it all
One glory in it all

chorus
