Here Is Love

Here is love, vast as the ocean,
Lovingkindness as the flood,
When the Prince of Life, our Ransom,
Shed for us His precious blood.
Who His love will not remember?
Who can cease to sing His praise?
He can never be forgotten,
Throughout Heaven’s eternal days.

On the mount of crucifixion,
Fountains opened deep and wide;
Through the floodgates of God’s mercy
Flowed a vast and gracious tide.
Grace and love, like mighty rivers,
Poured incessant from above,
And Heaven’s peace and perfect justice
Kissed a guilty world in love.

"O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good: for his mercy endureth for ever." Psalm 107:1

Before The Throne Of God Above.

Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea.
A great high Priest whose Name is Love
Who ever lives and pleads for me.
My name is graven on His hands,
My name is written on His heart.
I know that while in heaven He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart.

When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within,
Upward I look and see Him there
Who made an end of all my sin.
Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free.
For God the just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me.

Behold Him there the risen Lamb,
My perfect spotless righteousness,
The great unchangeable I AM,
King of glory and of grace,
One in Himself I cannot die.
My soul is purchased by His blood,
My life is hid with Christ on high,
With Christ my Savior and my God!

You are Being Loved

So you think love is only for the good enough
And one thing you’re never gonna be worthy of
But there’s a song being sung over you
By the One who breathes life into you

You are being loved
You are being loved
Right now at this very moment
You are being loved
You are being loved
Right now you are being loved, loved, loved
You are being loved, loved

You ought to see the smile
you’re bringing to your Father’s face
You ought to hear Him sing His version of Amazing Grace
‘cause that’s the song being sung over you
By the God who breathes life into you

You are being loved
You are being loved
Right now at this very moment
You are being loved
You are being loved
Right now you are being loved, loved, loved
You are being loved, loved
You are

With every breath that you’re taking
And every beat of your heart
Even while this song is playing
Whatever you do
Wherever you are
There’s a song being sung over you

You are being loved
You are being loved
Right now at this very moment
You are being loved

And the Answer is....

....  Ok. 

 I read this in a book I once read called, "Wake up and Live".    Some of you know this from the bottom of my emails.


  The translation is:

"Your own sinful inclinations, the world around you and the devil himself may all try to win your heart, but none of them was ever crucified as Christ was.  The Lord Jesus stands alone as being worthy of your love and service."

It's a really good quote!

Translation?

I want to see if anyone can guess what this says. Try not to use Google, Yahoo, or any of those search sites.


"Sus propias inclinaciones pecaminosas, el mundo que le rodea y al mismo diablo todos pueden tratar de ganar su corazón, pero ninguno de ellos fue crucificado como Cristo. El Señor Jesús está solo como ser digno de tu amor y servicio."

Some of the words are pretty accessible of what they mean in English.

I will post the answer later.....

Good Luck!

Who is He?

Here is a song from our hymnal. The verses are questions, and the chorus is the answer to all the questions.

Who is He in yonder stall,
At whose feet the shepherds fall?

Chorus:
'Tis the Lord! oh wondrous story!
'Tis the Lord! the King of glory!
At His feet we humbly fall,
Crown Him! crown Him, Lord of all!

Who is He in deep distress,
Fasting in the wilderness?

Who is He the people bless
For His words of gentleness?

Who is He to whom they bring
All the sick and sorrowing?

Who is He that stands and weeps
At the grave where Lazarus sleeps?

Who is He the gathering throng
Greet with loud triumphant song?

Lo! at midnight, who is He
Prays in dark Gethsemane?

Who is He on yonder tree
Dies in grief and agony?

Who is He who from the grave
Comes to succor, help, and save?

Who is He who from His throne
Rules through all the worlds alone?

How Firm A Foundation

How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can you say than to you He has said-
You, who unto Jesus for refuge have fled?

In every condition-in sickness and health,
In poverty's vale, or abounding in wealth;
At home or abroad, on the land, on the sea,
As days may demand, shall thy strength ever be.

Fear no I am with thee, O be not dismayed!
I, I am thy God and will still give thee aid:
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee
to stand,
Up held by My righteous, omnipotent hand.

When through the deep waters I cause thee to go,
The rivers of woe shall not thee overflow;
For I will be with thee thy troubles to bless,
And sanctify to the thy deepest distress.

When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace all-sufficient shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt the: I only design
Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine.

The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose
I will not, I will not desert to its foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavour to shake,
I'll never, no never, no never forsake!

Our God is an Awesome God

When He rolls up His sleeves
He ain't just putting on the ritz
(Our God is an awesome God)
There's thunder in His footsteps
And lightning in His fists
(Our God is an awesome God)
And the Lord wasn't joking
When He kicked 'em out of Eden
It wasn't for no reason
That He shed His blood
His return is very close
And so you better be believing that
Our God is an awesome God

Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God

And when the sky was starless
In the void of the night
(Our God is an awesome God)
He spoke into the darkness
And created the light
(Our God is an awesome God)
Judgement and wrath He poured out on Sodom
Mercy and grace He gave us at the cross
I hope that we have not
Too quickly forgotten that
Our God is an awesome God

Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God

-Rich Mullins

The Way, the Truth, and the Life

"Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me,In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know." Thomas said to Him,"Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?" Jesus said to him,"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
-John 14:1-6

It's Amazing, isn't it?

He's the God of all Gods, the King of all Kings!
He's the great and mighty maker of all things!
Yes, He's God of all Gods,
And Lord of all Lords !
Choose to give His Son for you and me!
What a GREAT, God of all is He?

Ps- The picture was taken by me over Salt Lake City, Utah

What a Savior!

Man of Sorrows! What a name
For the Son of God who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim!

Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
In my place condemned he stood;
Sealed my pardon with His blood:
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Guilty, vile, and helpless, we;
Spotless lamb of God was He:
Full atonement- can it be?
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Lifted up was He to die,
'It is finished' was His cry;
Now in heaven exalted high:
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

When he comes our glorious King,
All his ransomed home to bring,
Then anew this song we'll sing:
HALLELUJAH! WHAT A SAVIOR!
