Hallelujah, What a Savior!

I've been listening to this song a lot lately, especially this week. It's such a good hymn. Listening to songs like this one and other old hymns like it, it seems that Christian song-writing has just gone downhill since then. Not ALL contemporary  Christian songs, but a good majority of them are just...fluff. They have catchy riffs and melodies, but the lyrics are void of any deep theological truths or genuine heart-cries to God.

Thank you "Ascend the Hill" for this rendition of "Hallelujah, What a Savior!" (although it's a tad slow...I can deal) :-P

Man of Sorrows! what a name

For the Son of God, who came

Ruined sinners to reclaim

Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Bearing shame and scoffing rude,

In my place condemned He stood;

Sealed my pardon with His blood.

Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Guilty, vile, and helpless we;

Spotless Lamb of God was He;

"Full atonement!" can it be?

Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Lifted up was He to die;

"It is finished!" was His cry;

Now in heaven exalted high.

Hallelujah! What a Savior!

When He comes, our glorious King

All His ransomed home to bring

Then anew His song we'll sing:

Hallelujah! What a Savior!
