A New Name in Glory

 

                                    A New Name in Glory

Is your name written in the Book of Life? If it is then your sins have been forgiven and you have been saved by God’s grace. His blood that He shed on the cross for you and I have been shed to make us whole. The relationship you have with God’s son, is the only thing that can get your name written in the Book of Life. It is through Jesus Christ that we are saved.

Lyrics by C. Austin Miles

“I was once a sinner, but I came pardon to receive from my Lord; This was freely given, and I found that He always kept His word.

I was humbly kneeling at the cross, fearing naught but God’s angry frown; when the heavens opened and I saw that my name was written down.

In the Book tis written, “saved by Grace,” O the joy that came to my soul! Now I am forgiven, and I know by the blood I am made whole.

There’s a new name written down in glory, and its mine, O yes, it’s mine! And the white-robed angels sing the story, “A sinner has come home.” For there’s a new name written down in glory, and its mine, O yes, it’s mine! With my sins forgiven I am bound for heaven, nevermore to roam.”

Does Jesus Care?

 

                                                Does Jesus Care?

Amid heartache and pain, we often ask if Jesus cares. Is He here, does He see what we are going through. We may have lost a loved one and so dear to our heart. We may have stumbled and failed and seems there is no way out. Does Jesus care? Oh yes, without a shadow of a doubt. If you cry, He cries, His heart is tender enough to care. He never looks down on us but looks upon us as a mother does her child.  He knows what we go through and He cares enough to lift our burden and take it upon Himself. He cares enough to grant us the kind of peace that passes understanding. He wants us to ask for it, freely He gives.

Lyrics by Frank E. Graef, arranged by J. Lincoln Hall

“Does Jesus care when my heart is pained too deeply for mirth and song; as the burdens press, and the cares distress, and the way grows weary and long?

Does Jesus care when my way is dark with a nameless dread and fear? As the daylight fades into deep night shades, does He care enough to be near?

Does Jesus care when I’ve tried and failed to resist some temptation strong; When for my deep grief I find no relief, though my tears flow all the night long?

Does Jesus care when I’ve said goodbye to the dearest on earth to me, and my sad heart aches till it nearly breaks, is it aught to Him? Does He see?

O yes, He cares; I know He cares; His heart is touched with my grief; When the days are weary, the long nights dreary, I know my Savior cares. He cares.”

He's a Friend of Mine

 

                                                He’s a Friend of Mine

Everything we have, everything we see belongs to Christ and He is willing to share everything with us. Christ is such a good friend that He provides for us in all our needs. He shares His beauty in the landscapes around us. He shares the sun, moon and stars at night for us to gaze upon. And someday, He will share the glory of His throne with us and all the angels singing will join us in singing, He’s a Friend of Mine.

Lyrics by John H. Sammis, arranged by Daniel B. Towner

“Why should I charge my soul with care? The wealth of every mine belongs to Christ, God’s Son and heir, and He’s a friend of mine.

The silver moon, the golden sun, the countless stars that shine, are His alone, yes, every one, and He’s a friend of mine.

He daily spreads a glorious feast, and at His table dine the whole creation, man and beast, and He’s a friend of mine.

And when He comes in bright array, and leads the conquering line, it will be glory then to say, and He’s a friend of mine.

Yes, He’s a friend of mine, and He with me does all things share; since all is Christ’ and Christ is mine, why should I have a care? For Jesus is a friend of mine.

Throw Out the Lifeline

 

                                    Throw Out the Lifeline

What if today was the day Jesus comes to take us home? Are you ready? Are your friends and family ready? We must reach out to those who are not ready and throw them a life-line before it’s too late. The time is now to reach out and save a soul. Don’t wait, you may not get another chance. Teach them Jesus’ plan of salvation, help them to know Jesus and build on a relationship with Him. If you are one who needs to know Jesus, I encourage you to read God’s word and reach out to those who have the kind of relationship with Jesus that you need. Praying always for those who are in need of God’s grace.

Lyrics by Edward S. Ufford, arranged by George c. Stebbins.

“Throw out the Life-Line across the dark wave, there is a brother whom someone should save;  Somebody’s brother! Oh, who then will dare to throw out the Life-Line, his peril to share?

Throw out the Life-Line with hand quick and strong; Why do you tarry, why linger so long? See! He is sinking; oh, hasten today and throw out the Life-Boat! Away, then, away!

Throw out the Life-Line to danger fraught men, sinking in anguish where you’ve never been; Winds of temptation and billows of woe will soon hurl them out where the dark waters flow.

Soon will the season of rescue be over, soon will they drift to eternity’s shore, haste then, my brother, no time for delay, but throw out the Life-Line and save them today.

Throw out the Life-Line! Throw out the Life-Line! Someone is drifting away; Throw out the Life-Line! Thrown out the Life-Line! Someone is sinking today.

Help Somebody Today

 

                                    Help Somebody Today

Somebody just got diagnosed with a horrible disease; somebody just got notice from their spouse that their marriage is over. Somebody feels all alone and lonely. Somebody is overwhelmed with so many things happening at once. Everybody is in need for one thing or another, it is up to us to notice and lend a helping hand. Maybe it is just a smile, or a kind word, or a prayer, or a time spent with them away from their troubles. Whatever it is, God has placed that somebody in front of you for a purpose. Let Him guide you in helping them.

Lyrics by Carrie E. Breck, arranged by Charles H, Gabriel

“Look all around you, find someone in need, Help somebody today! Though it be little, a neighborly deed- Help somebody today!

Many are waiting a kind, loving word, Help somebody today! Thou has a message, O let it be heard, Help somebody today!

Many have burdens too heavy to bear, Help somebody today! Grief is the portion of some everywhere, Help somebody today!

Some are discouraged and weary in heart, Help somebody today! Some one the journey to heaven should start, Help somebody today!

Help somebody today.. Somebody along life’s way; Let sorrow be ended, the friendless befriended, Oh, help somebody today!

A Passion for Souls

 

                                                A Passion for Souls

A passionate person is an individual that embraces God and wants to share the message to any person who needs to know God. They set a godly example that makes others say, “I want to live like that.” They have a zeal for Christ that inspire and motivate those around them to live a positive life. We must all have a passion for souls and want them to be able to go to heaven along with us.

Lyrics by Herbert G. Tovey, arranged by Foss L. Fellers

“Give me a passion for souls, dear Lord, a passion to save the lost; Oh that Thy love were by all adored, and welcomed at any cost.

Though there are dangers untold and stern confronting me in the way, willingly still would I go, nor turn, but trust Thee for grace each day.

How shall this passion for souls be mine? Lord, make Thou the answer clear; Help me to throw out the old lifeline to those who are struggling near.

Jesus, I long, I long to be winning men who are lost, and constantly sinning; O may this hour be one of beginning the story of pardon to tell.

Rescue the Perishing

 

                                    Rescue the Perishing

“Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness.” Galatians 6:1, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, gentleness, self-control.” Galatians 5:22.

Lyrics by Fanny J. Crosby, arranged by William H. Doane

“Rescue the perishing, care for the dying, snatch them in pity from sin and the grave; Weep over the erring one, lift up the fallen, tell them of Jesus the mighty to save.

Though they are slighting Him, still He is waiting, waiting the penitent child to receive; Plead with them earnestly, plead with them gently, He will forgive if they only believe.

Down in the human heart, crushed by the tempter, feelings lie buried that grace can restore; Touched by a loving heart, wakened by kindness, chords that are broken will vibrate once more.

Rescue the perishing, duty demands it; Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide; Back to the narrow way patiently win them; tell the poor wanderer a Savior has died.

Rescue the perishing, care for the dying; Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.”
