During Holy Week, we have assembled a handful of our leaders to record a piece of music to acompany a reading for each day leading up to Easter Sunday. 

Tuesday's post is from our very own Kathy Alexander, with Kevin Alexander on Trumpet. Scroll down for the video, and take some extra time with the lyrics of this powerful Easter balad:

Maker of the Universe - Phil Keaggy

The Maker of the universe,
As Man for man was made a curse.
The claims of Law which He had made,
Unto the uttermost He paid.

His holy fingers made the bough,
Which grew the thorns that crowned His brow.
The nails that pierced His hands were mined
In secret places He designed.

He made the forest whence there sprung
The tree on which His body hung.
He died upon a cross of wood,
Yet made the hill on which it stood.

The sky that darkened o'er His head,
By Him above the earth was spread.
The sun that hid from Him it's face
By His decree was poised in space.

The spear which spilled His precious blood
Was tempered in the fires of God.
The grave in which His form was laid
Was hewn in rocks His hands had made.

The throne on which He now appears
Was His for everlasting years.
But a new glory crowns
His brow And every knee to Him shall bow.
