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.”

No Other Plea

 

                                                No Other Plea

When we pray to God, we must believe that He will answer. We must come to Him without doubts. Believe that He is with us and hears our pleas. We must believe that He will take care of us and that His way is better than our way. God has our best interest in mind and will bless us as we believe in Him.

Lyrics by Lidie H. Edmunds, arranged by William J. Kirkpatrick

“My faith has found a resting place, not in device nor creed; I trust the ever living One, His wounds for me shall plead.

Enough for me that Jesus saves, this ends my fear and doubt; A sinful soul I come to Him, He’ll never cast me out.

My heart is leaning on the Word, the written word of God, Salvation by my Savior’s name, Salvation through His blood.

My great physician heals the sick, the lost He came to save; For me His precious blood He shed, for me His life He gave.

I need no other argument, I need no other plea, It is enough that Jesus died, and that He died for me.”

Jesus, Savior

 

                                                            Jesus, Savior

When we accept Jesus as our Savior, we are saying that we surrender all that we have to Him. We don’t get to pick what part of our life we want to hand over to Jesus, He wants all of us, every single part of our life. When we do that, He guides us in making wise decisions, He lifts us up when we are down. He helps us in every aspect of our life. We become more like Christ when we surrender ourselves and our life to Him. We are loved by Him and want to hold us in His arms.

Lyrics by Herman Voss, arranged by Herman Voss

“Jesus, Savior, all I have is Thine, body, soul and will I now resign. Make me, keep me faithful unto Thee, Savior, through eternity.

Jesus, Savior, I would die to sin, come, oh come and live in me again. Mold me, fill me till the world shall see Jesus, Savior, living now in me.

Jesus, Savior, in this quiet hour, may I feel Thy Spirit’s strength and power; Take me, use me as Thou will each day, Savior, this I humbly pray.

Tell Me the Stories of Jesus

 

                                    Tell Me the Stories of Jesus

So many questions we have that only God can answer. The answer can only come in the person of Jesus. Yet there are questions that are easily found in the book of God’s Word. There are many stories about Jesus; how He gathered all the children to Him, how He fed 5,000 people with only a few loaves of bread and some fish from a child’s basket. How He healed the sick and raised the dead. So many answers to our questions that can be found in the Bible. I encourage you to sit quietly with your Bible and get to know Jesus and all that He does for you. Build on a relationship that will take you to eternity with Him in heaven.

Lyrics by William H. Parker, arranged by Frederic A. Challenge

“Tell me the stories of Jesus I love to hear; Things I would ask Him to tell me if He were here; Scenes by the wayside, tales of the sea, stories of Jesus, tell them to me.

First let me hear how the children stood round His knee; And I shall fancy His blessing resting on me; Words full of kindness, deeds full of grace, all in the love-light of Jesus’ face.

Into the city I’d follow the children’s band, waving a branch of the palm tree high in my hand; One of His heralds, Yes, I would sing loudest hosannas! Jesus is King.” Amen

Savior Breathe an Evening Blessing

 

                        Savior Breathe an Evening Blessing

Too often, we go to bed and our mind takes off like it never had thought before. Swirling, from one subject to another. We worry about things we have no control over and things that may or may not happen. We need a blessing from the Savior; we pray that it is so. The night becomes dark and dreary, but we must understand that God’s angels are watching over us. He can calm our thoughts and give us peace that passes all understanding. We just need to ask for it, and it is done. Let go, Let God. That is my mantra when I have trouble sleeping. And if I die before morning, then I will rejoice that I am in heaven worshiping God Almighty.

Lyrics by James Edmenton, Arranged by George C. Stebbins

“Savior, breathe an evening blessing ere repose our spirit’s seal; Sin and want we come confessing, Thou canst save and Thou canst heal.

Though destruction walk around us. Though the arrows past us fly; Angel guards from Thee surround us, we are safe if Thou are nigh.

Though the night be dark and dreary, darkness cannot hide from Thee; Thou are He who, never weary, watchest where Thy people be.

Should swift death this night overtake us, and our couch become our tomb, may the morn in heaven awake us, clad in bright and deathless bloom.” Amen

Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone?

 

                        Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone?

It was for our sins that Jesus died and what have we done about it? Has He died in vain or are we truly repentant of our sins? We must bear the burden of our sins and ask for forgiveness. Repentance means a change of heart. If we are going to ask, then we must repent. Let’s not let Jesus bear the cross alone, we have our own crosses to bear, and Jesus can help us overcome them and we need to do our part in allowing that to happen.

Lyrics by Thomas Shepherd, arranged by George N. Allen

“Must Jesus bear the cross alone, and all the world go free? No; there’s a cross for everyone, and there’s a cross for me.

The consecrated cross I’ll bear, till death shall set me free, and then go home my crown to wear, for there’s a crown for me.

Upon the crystal pavement, down at Jesus’ pierced feet, joyful, I’ll cast my golden crown, and His dear name repeat.

O precious cross! O glorious crown! O resurrection day! Ye angels, from the stars come down, and bear my soul away.

Glory to His Name

 

                        Glory to His Name

There is no other Name that we would glorify than the One who went to the cross and saved us from our sins. He is the precious fountain that fills our thirst and makes us complete. He can enter into your soul, all you have to do is accept Him as your Lord and Savior and be buried in the watery grave of baptism.

 Lyrics by Elisha A. Hoffman, arranged by John H. Stockton

“Down at the cross where my Savior died, down where the cleansing from sin I  cried, thee to my heart was the blood applied, Glory to His name.

I am so wondrously saved from sin, Jesus so sweetly abides within, there at the cross where He took me in, Glory to His name.

Oh, precious fountain that saves from sin, I am so glad I have entered in; There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean, Glory to His name.

Come to this fountain so rich and sweet; Cast thy poor soul at the Savior’s feet; Plunge in today, and be made complete, Glory to His name.

Glory to His name, Glory to His name, there to my heart was the blood applied, Glory to His name.
