about

I've been writing songs for a few years now, most of which you can listen to here and on soundcloud.

All songs are written, recorded, mixed and produced by myself, and sometimes my wife chips in!

If you want to find out a bit more about me and my music, there's an interview with Treasure Vessles here: treasure-vessels.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/episode-34-richjens-aberystwyth-britain.html ... more

Track Name: In the silence of beginning
words/music by Chris Juby

In the silence of beginning
Spoke the love prepared to pay
So the wellspring of creation
Was the Lamb, eternal, slain
In the glory of the Godhead
As the universe was made
Was the promise of redemption
In the Lamb, eternal, slain

From the blood of righteous Abel
As the world gave way to hate
Every sin cried out for vengeance
For the Lamb, eternal, slain
By the code of temple worship
Sacrifice of blood was made
In that sacrifice, the shadow
Of the Lamb, eternal, slain

On the cross, in desolation
As he bore our sins away
Hear his prayer “Father, forgive them”
See the Lamb, eternal, slain
Through his blood we have forgiveness
For he died to take our place
Death itself has been defeated
By the Lamb, eternal, slain

Now alive in risen glory
Though the wounds of love remain
Holding out the Father’s mercy
Know the Lamb, eternal, slain
When that final kingdom trumpet
Heralds his triumphant reign
We will worship him forever
Hail the Lamb, eternal, slain
Track Name: Look to the cross
Let us run the race
Set in front of us
Let us run and not give up the fight
Looking to the Son
Striving for the line
Setting all our trust in Jesus Christ

Look to the cross
Look to the cross
Don't be faint of heart
You are never lost
Look to the cross
Look to the cross
He will bring us home

We struggle in our sin
We battle in our minds
But never to the point of shedding blood
Yet consider Him
Who endured hostility
Gave His life and now He gives us hope

Finally we'll say
"We have fought the fight,
We have run the race and kept the faith"
And that day we will gain
A crown of righteousness
We will find our joy and hope complete
Track Name: Put on the light
We know the time
The hour has come
To wake from sleep

For salvation is
Nearer now
Than when we believed

The night is far gone
The day is at hand
The day is at hand

So let us cast away
The deeds of the dark
And put on the light
Track Name: God so loved the world
God so loved the world
He gave His only Son
That we may never die,
But have eternal life
He came not to condemn
But He came to redeem
And give His life for everyone

For God so loved everyone
He gave His one and only Son
And when we thought our hope had gone
He made a way, he made a way

Light came down to us
Into this darkened world
The light of lasting life
To show a better way
He came not to condemn
But He came to redeem
And gave His life for everyone

Bridge:
We stand condemned if we don't believe
We stand accused by the enemy
But we are freed from sin's captivity
And we're free indeed, we're free indeed
We stand condemned if we don't believe
We stand accused by the enemy
But Jesus' death has set us free
And we're free indeed, we're free indeed
Track Name: In the cross of Christ
He is the living Word
By Him all was created
Yet he became a man
And became sin for us
He did not say a word
He was despised and beaten
Nailed to a sinner's cross
Nailed there instead of us

Pre-Chorus:
The cross is foolishness
The cross is glorious
His life laid down for us
He is victorious

Chorus:
In the cross of Christ I glory
In His death I find my life
Bread of heaven, broken for me
I cling to the cross of Christ

Through Adam's act of sin
He died and death is reigning
And we were all in him
And we were lost with him
One act of righteousness
Leads to our restoration
And now we reign in life
And we will reign with Christ!

I have been crucified
With Christ, and live no longer
But Christ now lives in me
And I will live for Him
The life that I now have,
I live by faith in Jesus
The Son of God who loved
And gave Himself for me
Track Name: Communion
We meet around the table of the King
Nothing but our brokeness to bring
Helpless, on our own, to do a thing
But thank you, Lord

Our Passover Lamb was sacrificed
Once and for all, He would suffice
To take away the sins of many lives
We thank you, Lord

Pre-Chorus:
The bread, his body
The wine, his blood
We share together and remember his words
Our sin was taken
Our debt was paid
Clothed in righteousness, soaked in grace

Chorus:
We thank you, Lord
We thank you, Lord
We had nothing to give you, but you gave it all

And now our risen Saviour dwells with us
He is here and He is full of love
Welcoming us all like fellow sons
We thank you, Lord

And in this communion we abide
Offering our heart and soul and mind
In anticipation of the time
We'll be with you, Lord
Track Name: All people that on earth do dwell
All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.
Him serve with fear, His praise forth tell;
Come ye before Him and rejoice.

For why? the Lord our God is good;
His mercy is for ever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.
Track Name: You alone are good
The good that's around us is from above
There to remind us of his love
The heavens declare it, the skies proclaim
The glory of Jesus, the power of His name

You alone,
You alone are good, alone
You alone are God, alone,
You alone are true, alone
You alone are good, alone,
You alone are God, alone,
You alone are true, alone,
You alone are good alone,
You alone are good

In wrath and in mercy, His goodness remains
It leads to repentence, removes our stains
We know that in all things He brings good
For those called by His purpose, redeemed, renewed
Track Name: Show them the love of the cross
We were like sheep, gone astray
Each of us turned our own way
But we've returned to the Shepherd of our souls
He came to seek and save the lost
He rescued every one of us
And so by our love, they might know His love

Pre-Chorus:
Just as we're blessed from above
So we should show that same love

Chorus:
So love the lost
Whatever the cost
Show them the love that was shown at the cross
To love the lost
Whatever the cost
Show them the love
Show them the love of the cross

Let us all lead a peaceful life
Godly and giving and dignified
For this is pleasing in His sight
Loving our neighbour as ourselves
Serving each other in sacrifice
And so by our love, they might know His love
Track Name: The revealing of His love
Creation waits eagerly
For the sons of God to be revealed
And we ourselves groan inwardly
We wait for our redemption
We wait for our redemption
We wait for our adoption

Chorus:
We endure
The suffering, the suffering
We long for
The revealing, the revealing
Of His love

In this hope we were saved
Though we don't see it clearly
But one day soon He'll call us home
And enter in to heaven
And enter in to heaven
The fullness of salvation

(Help us in our weakness
We don't know what to pray
Groan deep within us
Show your way
Show your way)
Track Name: All because of Jesus
All because of Jesus
All because of Jesus
Gave up all He had in heaven
The riches of His glory
For our poverty

All because of Jesus
All because of Jesus
Humbled, mocked, reviled and beaten
Crucified and risen
For His enemies

He'll bring us home
He'll bring us home
He'll bring us home to Him

All because of Jesus
All because of Jesus
Through Him we have been forgiven
Died and we have risen
To eternal life

All because of Jesus
All because of Jesus
We can know our heavenly Father
Here and ever after
Sing our praise to Him

He'll bring us home
He'll bring us home
He'll bring us home to Him
