This beautiful new hymn on You Tube makes me think of several things. When John the Baptist said in John 3:30, " He must increase, but I must decrease,” he was saying that everything he said and did was to point to Jesus. In other words-- Christ be all. Also, I noticed a cracked pot in the animations on the screen. This illustrates that God uses weak vessels. My favorite lyrics are at the end-- "until every tribe and tongue can sing may Christ be all."
Grace Worship gives this explanation of their work -- "Before Jesus went to the cross, he prayed that His church would be one (John 17). We desire to write songs that advance this mission. By pulling from the rich heritage of Christian hymnody and integrating the culturally-sensitive church songs of today, we hope to make much of Jesus’ unifying mission through music that equips the church for worship across generations. Whether a church accents a past generation or a current one -- whether the label is formal or informal -- Jesus has not forsaken any in his church. These songs aim to celebrate that unifying gospel message. Every story and generation matters, because each represents unique ways in which God is displaying his glory through his Body and Spirit. We hope these songs point you to Jesus, help you understand and commune with Him often, and offer opportunities for you to stand beside your brothers and sisters of all ages and backgrounds in joyful, united praise."
