Shai Linne: Spread His Fame
Wow. This is worth multiple viewings to get the beauty of the lyrics. It’s Shai Linne at Grace Evangelical Free Church in La Mirada, CA.
Praise God for gifting poets to express some of the wonder of his glorious wisdom and grace!
Video below, followed by the lyrics:
Shai Linne with “Spread His Fame.” from Grace EV Free on Vimeo.
All praise to the name of the savior who reigns.
He’s taken our blame, embraced all our shame,
He’s raised from the grave so his fame we proclaim.
Salvation by grace through faith in his name.
All praise to the name of the savior who reigns.
He’s taken our blame, embraced all our shame,
He’s raised from the grave so his fame we proclaim.
Salvation by grace through faith in his name.
Jesus, the beautiful and blessed Son,
Immutable, majestic one
Who was resurrected from the grave
for the depraved.
He paved the path for some
Place faith in His passion, son
Be saved from the wrath to come.
He’s fabulous, His status is immaculate
I’m lacking the vernacular to adequately capture His glory.
Incomparable, unconquerable, all powerful, unstoppable
Absolutely phenomenal.
No obstacle He can’t navigate.
He’s God and so He fascinates.
With Him it’s impossible to exaggerate.
Lord of all continents,
Source of all consciousness,
His compliments are the consequence of His accomplishments
Every sphere of life, He’s the Lord of it
And every other power is either fraudulent or subordinate.
At first we snubbed Him,
Now His vessels of mercy love Him.
Your highest thought is infinitely unworthy of Him.
Beyond vocabulary His actions vary,
His wrath is scary
All His adversaries are imaginary.
He has no competitors.
Ask Nebuchadnezzar, bro
He’ll mess you up, have you eating grass,
You can bet He’s amazing.
He takes in blatant, flagrant vagrants, breaks them, remakes them, and shapes them
to hate sin.
Jesus!
There’s no better name!
That’ll never change and He’ll forever reign while we spread His fame.
So all praise to the name of the Savior who reigns
He’s taken our blame
Embraced all our shame
He’s raised from the grave so His fame we proclaim
Salvation by grace through faith in His name!
All praise to the name of the Savior who reigns
He’s taken our blame
Embraced all our shame
He’s raised from the grave so His fame we proclaim
Salvation by grace through faith in His name!

Wow! Praise the Lord!
Here’s an earlier version of the same thing. Here he delivers it with a little more authority, and then gives a GREAT brief gospel message directed right at the audience. This is worth 8 minutes, I’ve spread it to a lot of friends: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPZlzDTdSsE
Just a small typo: In the sixth paragraph, it should read “Every SPHERE of life”.
“He takes in blatant, flagrant vagrants, breaks them, remakes them, and shapes them to hate sin.”
Such a good line!
This makes me miss Grace Ev Free, though :(
this dude got some mad skills! Praise God he can use His gifts for the glory of His name.
*his gifts
That’s a strong and encouraging word for this morning.
One of the members of my church gave an offering of a similar nature, if anyone is interested in hearing more “rhythmic artistic proclamation” (“Soli Deo Gloria,” Quincy Jones of Christcentric).
Praise the Living God, forever and ever. Praise God for moving upon Shai Linne’s heart; this was beautiful. Praise God.
Shai Linne in the man! His lyrics in Greatest Story Ever Told and The Gospel are phenomenal.
Also worth checking out… Stephen the Levite
This was great.
He did something similar at a conference at Biola a few months back. It was spoken from the point of view of “Death.” Check it out.
Doh! Not a conference. A *concert.*
