An evening in Llandudno

Last night Julie, Chloe, Anni and I made a mad dash to Llandudno to go to an evening with Keith & Kristyn Getty. There were problems on the motorway so we had to go by the scenic route. That left us with precious little time to grab a bite to eat, hence here are Chloe and Anni eating their hotdogs (which were almost bigger than they are!) outside the church.
Keith and Kristyn have written so many amazing modern hymns and we had a wonderful, worshipful evening. Well worth travelling 4 hours for!
This is one I hadn't heard before and really loved:
BENEATH THE CROSS of Jesus,
I find a place to stand;
And wonder at such mercy
That calls me as I am.
For hands that should discard me,
Hold wounds which tell me come.
Beneath the cross of Jesus
My unworthy soul is won.
Beneath the cross of Jesus
His family is my own.
Once strangers chasing selfish dreams,
Now one through grace alone.
How could I now dishonour
The ones that You have loved?
Beneath the cross of Jesus
See the children called by God.
Beneath the cross of Jesus,
The path before the crown,
We follow in His footsteps
Where promised hope is found.
How great the joy before us -
To be His perfect bride.
Beneath the cross of Jesus
We will gladly live our lives.
Keith & Kristyn Getty
(No matter how many times I go back and put spaces between the verses, it ends up set out like this when I publish!)
