Are You Washed in the Blood?

 

Are You Washed in the Blood?

Have you been baptized and given yourself to the Lord? Do you trust Him and accept His grace” Are you studying His words daily and building a relationship with Jesus? Are you ready for the judgement day and ready to move into His mansion? If not, lay aside your sins and come to Jesus and be washed in the Blood of the Lamb.

Lyrics by Elisha A. Hoffman, arranged by Elisha A. Hoffman

“Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour? Are you washed in the blood of the lamb?

Are you walking daily by the Savior’s side? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Do you rest each moment in the Crucified? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

When the Bridegroom comes will your robes be white? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Will your soul be ready for the mansion bright, and be washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin, and be washed in the blood of the Lamb? There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean, O be washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb, in the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb? Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Thy Word is Like a Garden, Lord

 

Thy Word is Like a Garden, Lord

The Bible is a book full of instructions; Full of beauty and deep meaningful sayings. It is a book that helps you let go of your worries and fears. It is a book that teaches one to let go of their troubles and how to let go and let God fight our battles for us. He did it repeatedly in the days when the Bible was coming into being. He fought many battles without our help. He comforts us the most when we need it the most. He arms us with the right words or right weapons when He wants us to fight our own battles so that we can grow in strength and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Lyrics by Edwin Hodder, arranged by Gottfried W. Fink

“Thy Word is like a garden Lord, with flowers bright and fair; And ever one who seeks may pluck a lovely cluster there. Thy word is like a deep, deep mine, and jewels rich and rare are hidden in its mighty depths for every searcher there.

Thy Word is like a starry host: A thousand rays of light are seen to guard the traveler and make his pathway bright. Thy Word is like an armory, where soldiers may repair, and find, for life’s long battle day, all needful weapons there.

Oh, may I love Thy precious Word, May I explore the mine, may I find my armor there! Thy Word my trusty sword, I’ll learn to fight with every foe the battle of the Lord.”

Beautiful Words of Jesus

 

Beautiful Words of Jesus

Jesus says, “Come unto me all you who labor and are heavy laden I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28. When times get hard or you feel overwhelmed in your work, Jesus’ words are comforting to hear. He invites us to “take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:29-30.

Lyrics by Eliza E. Hewitt, arranged by Isaac H. Meredith

“Beautiful words of Jesus, spoken so long ago, yet, as we sing them over, dearer to us they grow, calling the heavy laden, calling to hearts oppressed, “Come unto me, you weary, come, I will give you rest.

Beautiful. Words of Jesus, cheering us, day by day; Throwing a gleam of sunshine over a cloudy way; Casting on Him the burden we are too weak to bear, He will give grace sufficient, He will regard our prayer.

Beautiful words of Jesus, tokens of endless rest, when, by and by, we enter His presence blest; There shall we see His beauty, meet with Him face to face, there shall we sing His glory, praising His matchless grace.

Hear the calling of His voice, so sweet; Bring your load to the Savior’s feet; Lean your heart on His loving breast, Come, O come and He will give you rest.”

Thy Word I Have Hid in MY Heart

 

Thy Word I Have Hid in My Heart

The Word of God is a light to guide us daily to walk the walk of Christ. It is established forever and fixed in our heart’s morning, noon and night. The Word of God tells of the Savior and salvation and peace to all who is open to receiving it. It’s important to not just read His Words but to soak them up and know them for eternity.

Lyrics by Psalm 119, arranged by Ernest O. Sellers

“Thy word is a lamp to my feet, a light to my path always, to guide and to save me from sin, and show me the heavenly way.

Forever, O Lord, is Thy Word established and fixed on high; Thy faithfulness unto all men abided forever nigh.

At morning, noon, and at night I ever will give Thee praise; For Thou are my portion, O Lord, and shall be through all my days!

Through Him whom Thy word has foretold, the Savior and Morning Star, salvation and peace have been brought to those who have strayed afar.

Thy Word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against Thee; That I might not sin, that I might not sin, Thy Word have I hid in my heart.

Standing on the Promises

 

Standing on the Promises

Here are some of the key promises Jesus made in the Bible: Eternal Life, Salvation and forgiveness, Rest for the weary, Friendship and fellowship with God, Guidance and presence, Light and Truth, Provision and care, victory over death, peace and comfort, fruitfulness and empowerment.

Lyrics by R. Kelso Carter, arranged by R. Kelso Carter

“Standing on the promises of Christ my King, through eternal ages let His praises ring; Glory in the highest I will shout and sing, standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises that cannot fail, when the howling storms of doubt and fear assail, by the living Word of God I shall prevail, standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord, bound to Him eternally by love’s strong chord, overcoming daily with the spirit’s sword, standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises I cannot fail, listening every moment to the Spirit’s call, resting in my Savior, as my all in all, standing on the promises of God.

Standing, standing, standing on the promises of God my Savior; Standing, standing, I’m standing on the promises of God.”

Scriptures to look up: John 10:28-29, Mark 16:15-16, Matt. 11:28-30, John 15:14, John 10:27, John 14:6, John 8:12, Matt. 6:33, John 11:25, John 16:33, John 15:5

The Bible Stands

 

The Bible Stands

Even though the Bible has been burned, thrown in the trash, or just merely set aside. It has been held through the ages as the best reading material alive. The Bible travels from one generation to the next, it has been sent overseas and placed in every hotel room. If you are without a Bible, it is one book that is not hard to find. Why? Because it holds all the truth and instructions on how to live an upstanding righteous life. The words written cannot be destroyed, it will last throughout eternity. God’s words are good all the time.

Lyrics by Haldor Lillenas, arranged by Haldor Lillenas

“The Bible stands like a rock undaunted amid the raging storms of time; Its pages burn with the truth eternal, and they glow with a light sublime.

The Bible stands like a mountain towering far above the works of men; Its truth by none ever was refuted and destroy it they never can.

The Bible stands and it will forever, when the world has passed away; By inspiration it has been given, all its precepts I will obey.

The Bible stands every test we give it, for its Author is divine; By grace alone I expect to live it, and to prove it and make it mine.

The Bible stands though the hills may tumble, it will firmly stand when the earth shall crumble; I will plant my feet on its firm foundation, for the Bible stands.”
