Song Spotlight – Robbie Seay Band – Beautiful, Scandalous Night

An article by Brent Chavez    No Comments

Ryan, Brian and I got the chance to go see Robbie Seay and his band play at Mission Church a few months back (This video is not from that night, by the way). This song is off his “Give Yourself Away” album from a few years back, but that night was the first time I had heard his version, and it really stuck with me. It was originally written and recorded by a band called The Choir, and has been covered a number of times by Sixpence None the Richer, Bebo Norman, and Smalltown Poets. Robbie Seay’s version is my favorite. It’s so simple and honest. Crank up and volume and read over these lyrics.

Go on up to the mountain of mercy
To the crimson perpetual tide
Kneel down on the shore
Be thirsty no more
Go under and be purified

Follow Christ to the holy mountain
Sinner, sorry and wrecked by the fall
Cleanse your heart and your soul
In the fountain that flows
For you and for me and for all

At the wonderful tragic mysterious tree
On that beautiful scandalous night you and me
Were atoned by His blood and forever washed white
On that beautiful scandalous night

On the hillside you will be delivered
At the foot of the cross justified
And your spirit restored
By the river that pours
From our blessed Saviors side

At the wonderful tragic mysterious tree
On that beautiful scandalous night you and me
Were atoned by His blood and forever washed white
On that beautiful scandalous night

At the wonderful tragic mysterious tree
On that beautiful scandalous night you and me
Were atoned by his blood and forever washed white
On that beautiful scandalous night
