Holy Week - Song Two

One of my favorite parts of the Thorn is response time. After seeing Christ die on the cross the audience has the opportunity to respond to what God did for them through the death of His Son.  The pastor leads the audience in a time of prayer and there are crosses set up throughout the auditorium and the audience has an opportunity to go to a cross, write down on paper or a magnet whatever they want to leave at the cross. (see picture below) During that time someone is singing the song Redeemed. What a powerful moment to see hundreds of people leaving their sins at the cross. I've heard stories of people pinning their sins, their marriages, health issues, jobs...you name it they leave it at the cross, asking for forgiveness, for healing, for new beginnings - it is a very emotional time for the people at the crosses. It is an emotional time for me as well as I just sit back and pray for all those folks with tears running down my face.  We are all redeemed by what Christ did on the cross for us! No longer who we were, but changed and made new!

Listen to the words and remember that you are Redeemed!
