Does Jesus Care?

 

Does Jesus Care?

So many times, when we are amid a crisis, our focus turns to ourselves. It is hard to know that Jesus is with us, much less care for us. Our fears and worries take over the circumstances we are under, and it is hard to live above the circumstance and put our focus on Jesus. Jesus is always there with us, and He knows what we are going through. He is a loving compassionate Savior and will take us through to the other side of the dark place we are in. Remember God loves you and only wants what is best for you. He cares more than we realize.

Lyrics by Frank E. Graeff, 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 the 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 “good-by” to the dearest on earth to me, and my sad heart aches till it nearly breaks, it is 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.”

Leave it There

 

Leave it There

Jesus knows when we are poor; He knows when we are sick and He knows when we are oppressed by outside forces. He Knows our aches and pains and our aging body. He knows all about us  and He is there for us  every step of the way. God is our provider, protector and defender. He hears our every prayer, and He wants us to bring our burdens to Him and leave them with Him. So often, we give our burdens to Jesus and then we take them back, thinking we need to do something. All we need to do is trust Him, knowing He knows what is best for us.

Lyrics by C. Albert Tindley, arranged by C. Albert Tindley

“If the world from you withhold of its silver and its gold, and you have to get along with meager fare. Just remember, in His word, how He feeds the little bird; Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

If your body suffers pain and your health you can’t regain, and your soul is almost sinking in despair. Jesus knows the pain you feel. He can save and He can heal; Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

When your enemies assail you and your heart begins to fail. Don’t forget that God in heaven answers prayer; He will make a way for you and will lead you safely through; Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

When your youthful days are gone and old age is stealing on, and your body bends beneath the weight of care; He will never leave you then, He’ll go with you to the end; Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

Leave it there… Leave it there. Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there; If you trust and never doubt, He will surely bring you out; Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.”

We Gather Together

 

We Gather Together

Matthew 18:20 “For where two or three gather together in My name, there I am in the midst of them” NKJ. Whether you are in church, a Bible study, or among friends, Jesus is there with you. When we are worshiping Him, He is blessing us. He is making His will for us known and will direct us in His will. He will protect us from those who oppress us and He will fight the good fight for us. Let us gather and praise His name for He is an awesome God!

Lyrics by Theodore Baker, arranged by Edward Kremser

“We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing, He chastens and hastens His will to make known; The wicked oppressing cease from distressing, sing praises to His name, He forgets not His own.

Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining, ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine; So, from the beginning the fight we were winning, Thou, Lord, was at our side, the glory be Thine!

We all do extol Thee, Thou leader in battle, and pray that Thou still our defender will be. Let Thy congregation escape tribulation; Thy name be ever praised, O Lord, make us free!    Amen.

Whom Have I but Thee?

 

Whom Have I but Thee?

Jesus Christ, our Rock, our Redemer, Protector and comforter. He is all that we need. No one else can save our souls and give us eternal life. Let Him be our souls desire and let Him be your all in all.

Lyrics by Avis B. Christiansen, arranged by Rolf Jorgenson

“Whom have I on earth, Lord Jesus, whom in heaven above but Thee? Now and through eternal ages Thou are all in all to me!

Whom have I on earth, Lord Jesus, to sustain and comfort me? Thou, the Rock of my salvation, ever will my refuge be!

All in all! All in all! Thou are all in all to me, Thou are all my soul’s desire, now and through eternity!

Jesus Christ is Lord of All

Whether you are a follower of Christ or not, your outcome relies on Jesus Christ. He is Lord of all the earth, the people, all those who have gone before us and those who are in the upcoming generations. We can freely call Him King of Kings, Father of all. We can freely praise Him and adore Him. One might think they can run from Him or hide from Him, but Jesus knows all and sees all. He is here to stay. Trust in Him, let Him into your heart and believe that He is Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Lyrics by Don Whitman, arranged by Don Whitman

“Heaven and earth proclaim Jesus Christ is Lord of all; King of Kings is He whom angel hosts adore! Let men and nations bring praises to Christ the King, who over all shall reign forevermore.

Glorious is His name given by God in heaven above, name above all names, and evermore shall be. Come every knee, and bow, come every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord eternally.

Sing, my heart, oh praise His name; Jesus Christ is Lord of all! Sing, ye saints, His grace proclaim; Jesus Christ is Lord of all! At His word the grave will open; at His feet death’s bond will fall. King of Kings, the mighty God, Jesus Christ is Lord of all! Jesus Christ is Lord of all!

Take the Name of Jesus with You

 

Take the Name of Jesus with You

How much of your time do you give to Jesus? Do you take Him with you everywhere you go. In the car, in the store, to your laying down and rising up? Do you only call on Him when you are in trouble or confused and lonely. Jesus is with you always, whether you feel His presence or not. Try focusing on Jesus every minute of the day. He will protect you, comfort you and give you great joy and in the end, He will take you home with Him.

Lyrics by Lydia Baxter, arranged by William H. Duane

“Take the name of Jesus with you, child of sorrow and of woe; It will joy and comfort give you, take it, then, wherever you go.

Take the name of Jesus ever, as a shield from every snare; If temptations round you gather, breathe that holy name in prayer.

O the precious name of Jesus! How it thrills our souls with joy, when His loving arms receive us, and His songs our tongues employ!

At the name of Jesus bowing, falling prostrate at His feet, King of kings in heaven will crown Him, when our journey is complete.

Precious name, O how sweet! Hope of earth and joy of heaven; Precious name, o how sweet! Hope of earth and joy of heaven.
