Song Of The Month - November

So long since we had a song of the month... but have no fears we haven't forgatten about it yet :)And this month we have Hillsong's "At The Cross".

It's not a new song, but we haven't sung it in CF before. Pay close attention to the lyrics, they're so meaningful. Especially the bridge which goes 'You tore the veil, You made a way, When You said that it is done.'

When Jesus died, the curtain/veil in the temple was torn. This curtain was torn from top to bottom, meaning that no man could have done it, it MUST have been GOD!!! It used to 'separate' God's presence from the people. So when it was torn, it signified that we now can have a direct access to God, there is no longer any veil separating us from Him, Jesus has made a way for us!!! REJOICE!!!




Here are the lyrics and the chords for the song:
