Song of the Week (09.16.09)

By: Johnny Coggin

The song of the week is a new one from Sovereign Grace Music called "Completely Done." (Click the song title for a FREE mp3 download, or go here to hear a sample and check out the rest of the album.)

The message is clear: Fear, worry, doubt, and condemnation are driven out by the powerful gospel of Jesus Christ. Who he is, what he has done, and what he is continuing to do are our only confidence and refuge.

Through the Apostle Paul, the Holy Spirit gave these glorious truths (all referenced in the song) for our confidence and hope:
And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. - Philippians 1:6

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. - 2 Corinthians 5:17

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. - Romans 8:1

May you live daily in light of this: "We’re heirs with Christ, the victory won/What You complete is completely done."

Completely Done

What reason have I to doubt
Why would I dwell in fear
When all I have known is grace
My future in Christ is clear

My sins have been paid in full
There’s no condemnation here
I live in the good of this
My Father has brought me near
I’m leaving my fears behind me now

The old is gone, the new has come
What You complete is completely done
We’re heirs with Christ, the victory won
What You complete is completely done

I don’t know what lies ahead
What if I fail again
You are my confidence
You’ll keep me to the end
I’m leaving my fears behind me now

The old is gone, the new has come
What You complete is completely done
We’re heirs with Christ, the victory won
What You complete is completely done
