Here we are again at the end of another week! In celebration
of this supernaturally silly sing song Saturday, we are sharing the lyrics to
the song “Welcome to the New”, By Mercy Me:
Got to live right, just stay in line. You’ve heard it all
at least a million times; and like me you believed it. They said it wasn't
works, but trying harder wouldn't hurt. It sounds so crazy now, but back then
you couldn't see it. But now here you are, eyes open wide. It’s like you’re
seeing grace in a brand new light, for the first time.
Let us be the first to welcome you. Welcome to the life you
thought was too good to be true. Welcome to the new.
You broke your back, kept all the rules, jumped through the
hoops to make God approve of you. Oh tell me was it worth it. The whole time
you were spinning plates, did you stop to think that maybe He is ok with just
you? There’s no need to join the circus. And now here you are, a new point of
view, and now it all makes sense why it's called the Good News!
And oh let us
be the first to welcome you. Welcome to the life you thought was too good to be
true. Welcome to the new. Look at you, shiny and new, look at you! You got the
proof of purchase. You were purchased, ‘cause you're worth it. Look at you,
finding your groove. Don’t you dare think that you're not worth it, ‘cause
you're worth it, yeah you're worth it.
Let us be the first to welcome you, welcome to the life you
thought was too good to be true. Welcome to the new!

the song:
In reading scripture, we come across this verse:
What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith
but he has no works? Can that faith save him? ~ James 2:14
Some people believe this verse is saying if you don’t do
works, you will not be saved and they often forget the message of grace. When
this happens, it is easy to be deceived into thinking by doing works they will
be saved. This is not faith by works, this type of work is done in your own
strength. When we travel down a road like this, it is easy to find yourself
exhausted and depleted. When you stay in constant communication with the Lord,
you will find your faith strengthened through each difficult circumstance you
go through. When your faith is strengthened, you will produce works because the
Holy Spirit Himself will cause you to move and to be moved. When your
relationship with the Lord gets to this level, you really do have something
joyous to sing about because you will have discovered the true meaning of
“Welcome to The New”.
