Canadian worship collective HOMECOMING released their heartfelt new single "the cost (given for us)" today. Overflowing with deep gratitude and awe for Jesus' sacrifice, the song powerfully declares how, though undeserving, believers are saved and washed clean by a mercy they could never earn.
In the opening verse, the lyrics express this profound truth: "You took my place, how can it be? By your grace I'm saved. I did not deserve Your mercy. Your blood washed me clean." The song then brings listeners to their knees at the cross, overwhelmed by grace, declaring, "I am down on my knees at the cross. I cannot imagine the cost of Your love given for us."
As the song continues, it reflects on the freedom found in Christ's sacrifice: "You bore my sins, I am free. By your stripes I'm healed. I could never pay the debt I owe. I have one response to praise." The chorus returns with heartfelt worship, emphasizing, "I just can't get over Your grace that takes away all my mistakes with Your love, given for us--the cost of Your love, given for us."
Bridging themes of holiness and worthiness, the song lifts a worshipful anthem: "Holy, holy, holy, are You Lord. Worthy, worthy, worthy, I am Yours." This powerful declaration continues, "Holy, holy, You are worthy, worthy to receive all glory."
The song builds on the growing catalog of dynamic worship for a new generation. In just one year, the band has seen over 250,000 streams of their songs on YouTube, Apple Music, and Spotify.
