New Song: You Have Shown Us

Hey Crossroaders, I wanted to share this song with you that we'll be learning this week. It's called "You Have Shown Us" and it's a song that was born from the CompassionArt project.

It ties in really well with Pastor Todd's passage of Nehemiah 5, and the theme of social justice and living rightly because of the fear of the Lord. CLICK HERE to read the Scripture text and get a head start on preparing for Sunday's worship service.

Check out the simple but powerful lyrics that come from Micah 6:8

You have shown us O God what is good
You have shown us O Lord what You require
You have heard all our songs of how we long to worship You
Yet You've told us the offering You desire:

To do justly, to love mercy, to walk humbly with our God
You said to do justly, to love mercy, to walk humbly with You God

You have shown us the riches of Your love
You have shown us Your heart for those in need
Lord You're opening our ears to the cries of the poor
You have called us to be Your hands and feet

To the oppressed and the broken
To the widow and the orphan
Let the river of Your justice flow through us

Check out one of the writers, Martin Smith, singing the tune in this video:
