Aftermath
Hill Song United Lyrics

The skies lay low where You are
You have such an incredible presence that even the sky seems to bow down and lower itself when You are near.

On the earth You rest Your feet
Despite Your greatness, You humbly rest Your feet on the earth, showing that You are not above us but rather with us.

Yet the hands that cradle the stars
The hands that hold the entire universe together are the same hands that created us and want to hold us close.

Are the hands that bled for me
This same powerful God was willing to let His own blood be shed for our sake.

In a moment of glorious surrender
You displayed the ultimate act of love by choosing to give Yourself up for our redemption.

You were broken for all the world to see
Your sacrifice was public, on display for all to witness and understand the depth of Your love for us.

Lifted out of the ashes
Just as You rose from the dead, You lift us out of the figurative ashes of our old selves and give us new life.

I am found in the aftermath
The result of Your sacrifice and grace is that I have been found and given a new purpose in the aftermath of my old life.

Freedom found in Your scars
Your scars represent the price You paid for our freedom, and it is only through You that we find true freedom.

In Your grace my life redeemed
Through Your unmerited favor and love, You have saved and redeemed my life from the consequences of sin.

For You chose to take the sinner's crown
Despite being the King of kings, You chose to take on the punishment that should have been ours, instead.

As You placed Your crown on me
In turn, we who put our faith in You can receive the crown of life that You have won for us and share in Your victory.

Was the moment You broke the chains in me
When I surrendered my life to You, the chains of sin and death that had bound me were broken and I was set free.

And in that moment You opened up the heavens
By bridging the gap between humanity and divinity, You made a way for us to enter freely into the eternal presence of God.

To the broken the beggar and the thief
Your salvation and redemption are available to everyone, regardless of their status or past mistakes.

Lifted out of the wreckage
Your rescue and love can take us out of even the most hopeless or damaged situations and give us new life.

I find hope in the aftermath
Even in the midst of pain and heartache, there is hope to be found in the aftermath of Your sacrifice and love.

And I know that You're with me
You promise to always be with us, especially in the midst of trials and difficulties.

Yes I know that You're with me here
You are not a distant or absent God, but present with us in every moment.

And I know Your love will light the way
Your love is the guiding force that illuminates our path through life and leads us to true fulfillment and purpose.

Now all I have I count it all as loss
Compared to knowing You and being in relationship with You, everything else in life seems unimportant or insignificant.

But to know You and to carry the cross
The true joy and purpose of life is to know You and follow in Your footsteps, even if it means bearing our own crosses and suffering.

Knowing I'm found
The knowledge that we have been found by You and saved through Your love is the ultimate source of peace and security.

In the light of the aftermath
The light of Your love and grace shines upon us even in the aftermath of our mistakes and failures, bringing us hope and new life.
