What love my God would bring you down to earth
What king would take a low and lonely birth
Yet to this dark and broken place you came
To sleep beneath the stars that you had made
What love my God would send the Way of Life
To walk the road, rejected and despised
That you might know the weakness I possess
And be my rock of strength and righteousness
O Your love my God like a flood
As heaven opened up pouring out on us
O praise the King who came to the world
In his love like a mighty flood
What love my God could hold you to the tree
To bear that overwhelming debt for me
The Son of heaven leaves the Father's side
The Healer bleeds, the Life was made to die
What love my God, so gracious and extreme
Was strong enough to come and fight for me
To go through hell and down into the grave
And raise me up to see you face to face
You raise me up to see you face to face

I’m 18 and I just became a Christian one month ago. I grew up in China without ever truly knowing the Gospel of Christ. Luckily i came to the US for college and new friends here led me into the light of the Lord, hallelujah! And I just want to say that thank you so much CityAlight. You guys’s songs have been my guidance into the words of God. I’ve been reading the Bible from the beginning while listening to your albums, and it always touches me how your lyrics are so biblical and gentle and touch my deepest heart. God bless you all❤

[@justindarnellfpv]

We Christians are so blessed to have a living God who reigns within us. A loving God who came down from heaven to pay the price for our sins, who died upon the cross and rose again victoriously. Thank you Jesus for having my birth take place in your family. Im blessed to be worshipping a true and mighty God. Amen.

We are so blessed! You can lose everything you own, your family can turn against you but they can't take Jesus Christ. Our living hope. They can't take him from us. When all is said and done, all I have is Christ. My rock and my redeemer. Oh how sweet the fellowship is. Thank you Jesus for redeeming sinful men, making the only way to the Father for us, and providing us with everlasting life. He truly is glorious.

[@KokiAnn]

This is beautiful. Amen.

[@cersadescosmos7497]

Sorry friend but millions of views and likes would be great in that it would mean lots of people were being reached by this message and praise! And that's what we're called to do, it's not just self edification we're hoping for but reaching out to all so they may partake as we have partook!

[@reginanyaguthii4351]

Thank you God for your unfailing love ❤️

[@Arob1999]

I really thank the Father in Heaven named Jesus Christ! His face is all we need in this crooked world. He has made these people very special! They are so talented and have such an encouraging Spirit! I really love how the godly women are not all glamour and makeup, they simply are beautiful, inside and out, made from Jesus himself! As well as for the brothers, I see the earnestness in their expression. It’s always a joy seeing others praising the true King of Glory! Keep singing to God guys, and do not let fame or money ruin you. The Lord is watching, and you have changed many lives through the message of Christ.

[@tuberobotto]

CityAlight makes music worship a true Christian privilege and joy. No "U2" type of influences, just ol' country-rock gospel with deeply biblical lyrics. Praise God for letting this group be a channel of His glory. Glory to God, all praise to You alone. - from a lover of country gospel in the Philippines 🇨🇿

[@POSITIVIST.]

This is just my favorite group. They sing biblical songs. May God bless of them.

[@EternalDiet]

Yes, they're my best too

[@agnesromagos7460]

For me, City Alight is one of the best Christian music band. I love the words in their songs, Bible based and of course it's the truth. I love their style in singing, the melody of the songs and the way they managed themselves as they sing. God bless you CityAlight work force..everyone of you and your families too. May the Lord God, our Holy God continue to use your songs and your life as well for others, all for the glory of the Lord Jesus!

[@shilohcoach]

How is it that I'm just discovering this group? Such heartfelt worship ❤️

[@minajose6602]

Its the best group so far. The first time i listened to their song "yet not i but christ who lives in me" i cried. May God continue blessing them.

[@samuelirom]

Maybe because they don't seek fame. They only care about real worship. This is my favorite band. Such powerful worship songs.

[@lizj3815]

I know I just found them about 3 weeks ago and can’t stop listening to them I love them!

[@suzannanfuka1798]

I know same here

[@iainbremner8909]

This group brings such ‘singable’ songs to worship by all ages. Beautiful!

[@brittaincn]

Those of us who have received Christ and the incredible benefits he has wrought for us have the privilege and responsibility to make him known (2 Cor 5.17-18) and share the wonderful blessings we have received especially prioritising those places where Christ is not named (Romans 15.20)

[@Esther_Freedom]

Thank you so very much.

[@silviaalvarezderodriguez6073]

In addition to the music that has a Christocentric and biblical lyrics, I like it because the singers are demure, not like some that look like worldly rockers with tendrils, tattoos, These are dressed in a decorous manner in a way that honors the Lord

[@RICKGREG44]

Fortunately God does not look at the outer appearance but at the hearts of men and women. Appearances can be misleading to those who judge a book by it's cover!

[@lucasmoreira7680]

Wise words, Silvia! "Do not conform to the pattern of this world...", Paul said

[@nimmero]

@@RICKGREG44 but it often leads people to temptation.

[@RICKGREG44]

Maybe that's an issue of the heart of the individual and not of the eyes!

[@nimmero]

@@RICKGREG44 but we should do everything to not let our fellow brethren to fall into temptation.

[@mrjesabi]

I love how they always manage to praise without the usual manic screaming we hear so much today. Such a blessing. ❤

[@wintermetalhd]

Yeah we are truly blessed by God and Jesus ❤❤ thy God 🙏 he made us I believe in thy❤😊 holy holy God and son 🙏 ❤️

[@ManirakizaIvan-gy2bo]

God's love is unconditional ❤❤,I remember how deep the lyrics entered my whole,, Hallelujah 🙌🙌,God bless every one who is listening

[@kabilasergekyungu6588]

I am praying that despise temptations,trials and tribulations ,the Good lord keeps you in his grace...This type of worship is rare

[@espiritoconsolador838]

“Desde então, começou Jesus a pregar e a dizer: Arrependei-vos, porque é chegado o Reino dos céus”. Mateus 4:17🌸💙

[@samberhanu]

Beware listener- this is not soulish. This is not sung for some emotional response. This is sung in spirit. How do I know? You couldn't come up with these lyrics if you didn't spend time with the Creator Himself to listen to His heart and pour yourself to be intertwined with what His heart feels. Forget listening to others that only sing for show or performance. Concentrate only to listen to those that want to serve and truly worship God our Father in spirit and truth. Amen!

[@johnmacritchie2273]

What a beautiful song about what Jesus our saviour did for us upon the cross ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

[@rogerwbhall3430]

Sorry! It could only be Simeon. We know that. AI knows nothing.

[@Rae-gf6kg]

Such a blessing how Christ centered this music is. Praise be to King Jesus! Now and forevermore! We praise YOu HOly!

So much better than the "me" centered worship that is so popular these days!

[@haroldbertrand852]

LORD GOD, we thank You for all You have done in our lives. We thank You for each day You give us. We thank You for Your finished work on the cross that leads us to salvation and reconciliation to the Father. We thank You for holding us and helping us in the toughest battles we face in our lives. Father please forgive us for the times we come to You lacking the sincere gratitude we should always have and teach us to express how truly grateful we are for Your mercy, Your grace, and all You do for us daily. Give us the courage to openly and exuberantly share your goodness with all the world. Help us to never grow weary of praising You for all that You have done for us. In Jesus's Holy Name, Amen.

Laying on the couch and singing along quietly the lyrics I see passing on my tv... and it's building me up. It's not only so relaxing, it brings peace into my soul, it builds my faith, it remembers me of Biblical truths I need to hear.. it helps me to get closer to Him. Thank you.

[@1newearth]

Pleasant sabbath. We are living at the time of the end. I love what pro-lifers have to say. They need to repent and attend church on the sabbath, new moons and holy days like our Lord Jesus Christ. *From one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh worship before me, saith the LORD.* No one will attend church on Christmas, Easter nor sunday in the new earth. I hate abortion just like him and we ought to choose life over death. Call no man reverend nor Father. Psalm 111:9 says "holy and reverend is his name" for the LORD. The Holy Ghost is our Comforter and part of the Godhead, not an angel. Pork (swine), chicken, turkey are unclean. We can eat doves, pigeon, quail, beef, grasshopper, etc. Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

[@EternalDiet]

Amen and Amen. I'm Cameroonian and this is my best gospel band

[@sherrylady01]

😭😭 I know i have to keep praying but it's hard. I feel so low right now. I've not done well in school or uni and this is my final year of studying. I see others doing great and I feel dumb. 😓 I'm clueless of my future or what i want except that i want to be in Heaven. I don't even know my own worth. I know I haven't been doing my part to listen to my parents and others. 😞 I'm so wicked. Idk why I'm even writing this here.

[@Daisy.florina]

Ask God's will for your life please don't put yourself down, you will make things worse for yourself ,be proud of yor self for studying at university, you don't have to do well at uni. is not about being perfect and a scholar, is about a balance sometimes well, and do no. there are people who complain,feel sorry for themselves and do nothing in life .
