OUR SAVIOR


 Thank you, Lord Jesus,
 For your unfailing love, 
 As you looked through
 The corridors of time,

 And saw Calvary’s Cross
 And the pain You’d endure,
 And the suffering 
 That should have been mine.

 Your love bound you securely 
 To God’s plan for mankind.
 Your pure Blood,
 Shed for one and for all.

 Your innocent eyes
 Beheld the horrors of that day.
 In your obedience,
 You answered God’s Call.

 Your life for our pardon,
 Your Blood for our sin,
 Your will to die,
 That our will could be free.

 You thought of us,
 As the joy set before You.
 You are the Justifier 
 Of those who would believe.

 Your resurrection from the dead,
 Stands out in Your Word,
 As the event that changed history, 
 For all time.

 You were born. You preached truth,
 You were killed.  You were raised.
 You live on,
 Our intercessor, Divine.

 If you don’t know Jesus as Lord and Savior, would you consider all He has done for mankind?  Would you believe that God raised Him from the dead and ask Him to save you?  You will never regret it, for all eternity.

Child’s Prayer

Father, feed me with the finest wheat 
And with honey from the rock, satisfy my soul.
Let the water of Your Word wash over me
And cleanse and make me whole.

You give food to those who fear You, Lord,
You remember Your covenant, forevermore.
Your faithfulness is to all generations, O God.
You show mercy to and satisfy the poor.

Help me to incline my ear
And let Your Words not depart from my sight.
Help me keep them in the midst of my heart, O Lord,
For in the midst of Your Words, I find life.

Your Word breaks the snare
Of the trapper, O Lord!
Like a bird, my soul is set free.
My help is in the name of the Lord, my God, 
For now and for all eternity.

Victory

When daylight is dimming, 
As the sun sets so low
And the coolness of dusk settles in,

My gaze is fixed upward
And my lips offer thanks,
For the many victories
You’ve caused me to win.

Not my might nor my power
Has conquered my foes, 
Not my wit or my wisdom at all,

But your Spirit that dwells on the inside of me,
Gave me strength
And caused the enemy’s fall.

Your Word, it sustained me
All through the day long;
Lit my path, gave me peace and made me strong.

Your Presence, my Lord,
In my life each new day,
For that, I do earnestly long.

With You Spirit, Your Word
And Your Presence, so dear,
The enemy’s plan can’t succeed.

And I’ll always give thanks
At the close of the day,
To my Lord, who’s supplied all my need.
