Have you ever grown numb to a miracle?
“What A Savior” by Will & Jacinta Ellis and Crossing Life Worship began as a chorus in a co-write, before it took on a life of its own. Will & Jacinta wanted something rich and almost hymn-like, a bold declaration of who Jesus is — not a tired restatement, but a fresh look. They never wanted to grow “used to” what Jesus accomplished, so they wrote about holding on to Him in every season, regardless of whether it’s calm or chaotic.
The opening lines start with the redemption through Jesus’ blood: “The precious fount, that cleansing flow, the Son of God poured out for all.” That’s the blood that Jesus spilled for you. The song moves from the cleansing through His blood to the result: “The debt I owed and all sin’s claims were buried with You in the grave.” Your debt. Buried. Gone.
Here’s where it gets even more personal. Romans 5:8 says, “God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Read it again and change the words like “us” and “we” into “you” to make this verse personal. Christ died for you, not after you cleaned up. Not once you earned it. He died for you while you were still stuck!
What does this mean next time when shame creeps back in? It means that the case is closed. Stop re-litigating what Christ has already settled. Bring your failures to Him instead of burying them yourself, because He already did the burying, and the debt is already paid in full.
Your struggle will never disqualify you from His presence. It’s often in your struggles where you find Him closest. Take refuge in that truth today. May this song play in the background while you do. Press play and let the lyrics remind you what was actually paid. “Your death was not the end, oh what a savior, you rose again!”
(Related scripture: Romans 5:8; Isaiah 53:5; 1 Peter 2:24)
Background:
This was a chorus that came out of a co-write and spun off into its own song. I really wanted to write something that was fresh with rich lyrics that were almost hymn-like, about Jesus as Savior.
I never want to become “used to” what Jesus has done and its implications. So I wrote this song to boldly declare who Jesus is and who I needed to see Jesus as when writing this.
In every season, seasons of struggle, hardship, trial or whatever, we cling to Jesus, abide in Christ and take refuge in Him. This song was the outworking of my heart doing so.
