Good Friday

One of my favorite songs of all time...The Choir, "Beautiful, scandalous night."

"Beautiful Scandalous Night"

Go on up to the mountain of mercy
To the crimson perpetual tide
Kneel down on the shore
Be thirsty no more
Go under and be purified

Follow Christ to the Holy mountian
Sinner, sorry and wrecked by the fall
Cleanse your heart and your soul
In the fountain that flows
For you and for me and for all

CHORUS
At the wonderful tragic mysterious tree
On that beautiful scandalous night you and me
Were atoned by His blood and forever washed white
On that beautiful scandalous night

On the hillside you will be delivered
At the foot of the cross, justified
And your spirit restored
By the river that pours
From our blessed Saviour’s side

CHORUS

Go on up to the mountain of mercy
To the crimson perpetual tide
Kneel down on the shore
Be thirsty no more
Go under and be purified

CHORUS


We sang this at our church last year. The pastor introduced it as a "new" song to some and I grinned widely when he announced the name of the song. Then I was too choked up to really sing it and just let the words and music wash over me as I felt the weight of what the words were saying and what Christ had done for me, a lowly, unworthy sinner.
