Out now wherever you stream music, here's a brand new worship song for the season! "Because He Came For Us" was co-written with Travis Ham and Jason Riel, and now co-released with Heart of Life Worship. Album artwork by our 10-year-old, Annie!
Our first project with Heart of Life included worship songs written as part of our church's sermon series through Philippians (which you can find on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, and more). This song traces the story of Jesus from His first coming to His second, declaring that our lives are forever changed because He came for us!
If you'd like to sing this song with your church, here are some chord charts (and lead sheets thanks for Derek Boemler!) for your use.

Verse 1
Word of God, in flesh appearing
Heaven held and swaddled here

Jesus Christ the Lord

Teaching mercy, showing grace
He invites us in His footsteps
Jesus Christ the Lord

Because He came for us and died for us
Then rose to life victorious
Now we live in Him and will again
Forevermore amen

Light of Life, in heavy darkness
Bows his head and breathes His last

Morning dawns, the tomb is empty
Mourning fades, the curse is gone
Lift your gaze for He is risen
Jesus Christ the Lord

Then rose to life victorious

The glory is yours
The power is yours
Forever adore
Jesus Christ the Lord

Coming King, our world is aching
For the skies to break again
We are gathered, all declaring
