Alas, and did my Savior bleed

This song is so good. it makes me feel so happy.

The horror He went through just to redeem our condemned souls is unimaginable. Thank you Jesus!

This song reminds me of one retired pastor Pharez Ombwayo.

He would remind our small Bande girls sabbath school congregants about how expensive and painful it was for Jesus to redeem the lost.

Every time he come to preach this would be his proposed music.

It was at the cross where we all were set free, where all our pain and sorrows nailed to the bloodstained cross, where all sicknesses and every manner of infirmities were defeated and also where we were drawn closer to the ALMIGHTY.

Amazing and I loved it the Music ❤️

Praise the Lord

This seemingly simple hymn, written in ABAB form, set to a lilting melody, was written by a teenage boy who grew tired of the music of the Anglican Church. It was radical! Instead of all this showy, complex musical composition that few could master, Isaac Watts brought praise to the people. Simple choruses, but full of emotion! Easy to remember, catchy... they may have been derided as "jingles" by some, but Watts -- and the blind girl his music inspired, Miss Fanny Crosby -- brought the Word of God to life in musical form and put it in a book for all to learn and sing. A revolutionary indeed!

Isaac Watts was a rather amazing character on every aspect (except in appearance, as he was all of 5 feet tall! ) At the time of his birth, his father was in prison for being a “dissenter“ of the Church of England. Isaac learned Latin at age 4, picked up Greek by age 9, and Hebrew at 13. As a teenager, he was frustrated with the tedious music of the Anglican Church, so his father challenged him to write church songs. He responded by setting out on a hymn-writing frenzy, eventually composing 600 of the best known hymns, mostly written in his teens and twenties! Eventually, Watts became known as the “Father of English hymnody. ” This hymn, “Alas! and did my Savior Bleed, ” spoke powerfully and convincingly to the blind Fanny Crosby 100 years later, and then she became a greater hymn writer herself.
