Welcome to resonate!
My name is Scot Longyear and I'm the Lead Pastor of eXchange, a community of people following Christ and serving in His cause. We are a part of Maryland Community Church where I serve as the Sr Associate Pastor, a fancy title which, when translated, means “he who goes to many meetings.”

The first time I heard this song was this same performance. The conference is an all day fast and I had it on tv pretty much all day as I was working at home. When he got up there and told this story I was floored. At the very least his music was like no other worship music at that conference and I was excited to hear it. But the lyrics in this song were so convicting man I was weeping with about 5 other guys at my house doing the same. How easy is it for us to get prideful in our love for Jesus, that we have done so much to show God our love or how proud we are that we pursued. This song was a reminder that I only worship God, I only love God cause God loved me, because of his grace and mercy. So when we sing this at our church I think it’s a real reminder to the body of God’s grace, not a selfish thing of how God lives for us or anything, but that we are only able to live for God because of His love for us. God has been working me over on grace for the past couple months, just when I think I grasp it, I get jacked even more. As Romans 12 says, “In view of God’s mercy…we present ourselves as a living sacrifice”. I can’t even offer myself without God’s mercy.
Keep the posts coming Scot, love your blog.
Wow! AMEN!
