Often times Christians can view the gospel as the thing that just gives you a ticket to heaven; or simply the entrance to the Christian life. But actually it’s the gospel that Christians should never move away from.
It’s the message of Christ as our substitue on the cross that is our only hope for acceptance, our source for the power to be like Jesus, and our hope of eternal, unfading, ever-increasing joy in the age that is to come.
Hallelujah Praise The Lord focuses on this reality. It is a song that works as a reminder of what C.J. Mahaney calls “the main thing”…. The glorious gospel of Jesus Christ.

LYRICS
The cross of Jesus says it all
Both love and wrath are shown
Christ was crushed to pay it all
Our infinite debt was owed
Grace flowed down in precious blood
To cleanse us of our sin
Now stand before the throne of God
Now come and enter in
Hallelujah, praise the Lord, our Redeemer Christ the King
By your grace we worship you, by your blood we stand and sing
Oh you’ve washed us white as snow, of your mercy we’ve received
Hallelujah, praise the Lord, our Redeemer Christ the King
In our place He died for us
This gospel must be heard
His perfect life he counts for us
A love so undeserved
Hallelujah, praise the Lord, Our redeemer Christ the King
By your grace we worship you, by your blood we stand and sing
Oh you’ve washed us white as snow, of your mercy we’ve received
Hallelujah, praise the Lord, our Redeemer Christ the King
We will not boast in anything, but the finished work of Christ.
You alone are our righteousness, forever be glorified!
Hallelujah, praise the Lord, our Redeemer Christ the King
By your grace we worship you, by your blood we stand and sing
Oh you’ve washed us white as snow, of your mercy we’ve received
Hallelujah, praise the Lord, our Redeemer Christ the King
