“My name from the palms of his hands, Eternity will not erase; Impressed on his heart it remains, In marks of indelible grace”

August Toplady wrote these lines 250 years ago, as he pondered words written by Isaiah over 2500 years earlier!(Is 49:15-16) Truly the gospel is not a passing fad. Isaiah is drawing a contrast with the pagan worshippers who would often carve the name of their “god” into their own palms - the throbbing pain a constant reminder of their devotion!

While our God needs no reminders, the image does serve to remind us of the nature of the gospel. Pagan worship (much of it practiced in the name of Christ by the way!) is all about trying to get the “gods” to notice you... but the gospel is that God took notice of us when we were without hope, that He “pitied us while enemies”, and then inflicted incalculable pain upon himself so that we would never be forsaken or forgotten!

In these hymns we have touched something solid and real, and our hearts resonate with the rich expressions of a faith that embraces both joy and sorrow.

Our hope is that the church would recover the tradition of putting old hymns to new music for each generation, and that God’s people would be encouraged to worship him with words written by men and women with a huge view of God and His sovereign and “indelible grace.” On behalf of the college group at Christ Community and Reformed University Fellowship at Belmont University, we hope you will be challenged and strengthened by this project! Soli Deo Gloria!
