Burdens Are Lifted at Calvary

 

                                    Burdens Are Lifted at Calvary

Everybody deals with sorrow and heartache at one time or another in a lifetime. It’s hard to deal with sadness in the moment and sometimes it can seem overwhelming. When we look to Jesus and trust that He grants us wisdom and understanding, then clarity comes to us and all our burdens are lifted. Look to the cross, He carried all our burdens to the cross and leaves us with His grace.

Lyrics by John M. Moore, arranged by John M. Moore

“Days are filled with sorrow and care, hearts are lonely and drear; Burdens are lifted at Calvary, Jesus is very near.

Cast your care on Jesus today, leave your worry and fear; Burdens are lifted at Calvary, Jesus is very near.

Troubled soul, the Savior can see every heart-ache and tear; Burdens are lifted at Calvary, Jesus is very near.

Burdens are lifted at Calvary, Calvary, Calvary; Burdens are lifted at Calvary, Jesus is very near.”

All things in Jesus

 

                                    All things in Jesus

Many people are looking for something to fill the hole inside them that never seems satisfied. Some search for it in alcohol, others in drugs, some search for it in immoral behavior. There is only one place, one person that can fill that hole. It is in Jesus Christ. He can provide all your needs. He can take away your sorrows, and He can help you overcome whatever sin you might indulge in. Turn to Jesus today, confess your sins, repent and accept His invitation to build a relationship with Him.

Lyrics by Harry D. Loes, arranged by Harry D. Loes

“Friends all around me are trying to find what the heart yearns for, by sin undermined; I have the secret, I know where it’s found; Only true pleasures in Jesus abound.

Some carry burdens whose weight has for years crushed them with sorrow and blinded with tears, yet one stands ready to help them just now, if they will humbly in penitence bow.

No other name thrills the joy-chords within, and through none else is remission of sin; He knows the pain of the heart surely tried, both need and want will by Him be supplied.

Jesus is all this poor world needs today, blindly they strive for sin darkens their way; O to draw back the grim curtains of night, one glimpse of Jesus and all will be bright!

All that I want is in Jesus, He satisfies, joy He supplies; Life would be worthless without Him, all things in Jesus I find.

Come, Ye Disconsolate

 

                                                Come, Ye Disconsolate

There is a place where you can take your sorrows, wounded heart and struggles. It is at the throne of God. Kneel and pray, ask Him to heal you and be with you in your struggles. He is there and He is willing to listen and answer your prayer. You can tell Him anything. Nothing surprises God. He wants to hear from you and guide you to the light. Take all your sorrows, guilt and questions to the throne of God. He will not turn you away and He will never leave you in your time of need.

Lyrics by Thomas Moore, arranged by Samuel Webbe

“Come, ye disconsolate, wherever you languish; Come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel; Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish; Earth has not sorrow that heaven cannot heal.

Joy of the desolate, light of the straying, Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure, Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying, “Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot cure.

Here see the bread of life; see waters flowing forth from the throne of God, pure from above; Come to the feast of love; come, ever knowing earth has no sorrow but heaven can remove.” Amen

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.
