Sometimes a song just grabs me. My son Matt introduced me to this song, wanting me to play so he could sing it at a family gathering. It’s called “Find Me in the Vineyard” by Matt Zoeller a worship leader at Resurrection in the City Lutheran Church in Denver<\/a>, where my Matt sometimes plays the piano. <\/p>\n\n\n

It’s about people in the Bible taking pride in what they do, people who don’t know…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us… (Titus 3.5, NKJV)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. (Ephesians 2.8, 9, NKJV)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bible is filled with teaching about this (the whole book of Galatians, for example), but this song captures it succinctly from the perspective of the prideful doers. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

See what you think. I’ve annotated the lyrics with links to the biblical text from which they come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
