Election
This Sunday at Covenant Life we studied Ephesians 1:3-6, which teaches that we were predestined for salvation before the foundation of the world. These are the options we came up with for a closing song:
Before There Was Time – Caedmon’s Call
Grace Unmeasured – Bob Kauflin, Worship God Live
My Lord I Did Not Choose You – Isaac Watts/Devon Kauflin, Na Band – Lu
All I Have is Christ – Jordan Kauflin, Na Band – Lu
Who Made Me to Know You – Pat Sczebel, Valley of Vision
We ended up using Grace Unmeasured, which worked really well because of the highlight in the text on “the praise of His glorious grace.”
What songs on election do you have in your repertoire? I’d love to hear other suggestions.
