When Love Shines In

 

When Love Shines In

Love conquers all. When we approach a situation or a burden with love on our heart, it can make everything look better. We may not like some things in our life but if we look at it as part of God’s plan, and we know His plans are perfect, we can turn our thoughts to Love, and it will perfect our attitude, our gratitude and our perspective on what we are about to achieve or face in our lives.

Lyrics by Mrs. Frank A. Breck, arranged by William J. Kirkpatrick

“Jesus comes with power to gladden, when love shines in, every life that woe can sadden, when love shines in. Love will teach us how to pray, Love will drive the gloom away, turn our darkness into day, when love shines in.

How the world will grow with beauty, when love shines in, and the heart rejoice in duty, when love shines in. Trials may be sanctified, and the soul in peace abide, life will all be glorified, when love shines in.

Darkest sorrow will grow brighter when love shines in, and the heaviest burden lighter, when love shines in. Tis the glory that will throw light to show us where to go; O, the heart shall blessing know, when love shines in.

We my have unfading splendor, when love shines in, and a friendship true and tender, when love shines in. When earth victories shall be won, and our life in Heaven begun, there will be no need of sun, when love shines in.

When love shine in, when love shines in, How the heart is tuned to singing, when love shines in, when love shines in, Joy and peace to others bringing, when love shines in.

Though Your Sins Be As Scarle

 

Though Your Sins Be as Scalet

Romans 8:23 “We have all fallen short of the glory of God.” Everyone has sinned. Your sins may be as red as blood, but Christ can make them white as snow. He is the forgiveness giver; He can wipe away your sins. He is calling you with great compassion. He wants you to come to Him and confess your sins and repent. He will forgive and remember them no more.

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

“Tho your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; Tho your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; Tho they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool!” “Tho your sins be as scarlet, tho your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow, they shall be as white as snow.”

Hear the voice that entreats you. O return ye unto God! Hear the voice that entreats you, O return ye unto God! He is of great compassion, and of wondrous love! Hear the voice that entreats you. Hear the voice that entreats you. O return ye unto God! O return ye unto God!

He’ll forgive your transgressions and remember them no more; He’ll forgive your transgressions and remember them no more; “Look unto Me ye people,” Saith the Lord your God! He’ll forgive your transgressions, He’ll forgive your transgression, and remember them no more, and remember them no more.”

There is a Fountain

 

There is a Fountain

When Jesus died upon the cross, His blood flowed. It flowed from Immanuel which means, God with us. He died in between two thieves, one of which humbled himself and praised Jesus for being perfect. We are all sinners and God doesn’t see one sinner worse than another. Paul said he was the worst of sinners, yet we are not short of sins ourselves. It is by the power of blood that ransomed us from our sins. We have been redeemed and we should all take in that kind of love and live within it daily.

Lyrics by William Cowper, arranged by Early American Melody

“There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Immanuel’s veins; And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, lose all their guilty stains; Lose all their guilty stains, lose all their guilty stains, and sinners, plunged beneath that flood, lose all their guilty stains.

The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day; And there may I, though vile as he, wash all my sins away; Wash all my sins away, wash all my sins away; And there may I, though vile as he, wash all my sins away.

Dear dying lamb, thy precious blood shall never lose its power, till all the ransomed Church of God be saved, to sin no more; Be saved to sin no more, be saved to sin no more; Till all the ransomed Church of God be saved to sin no more.

Ever since, by faith, I saw the stream thy flowing wounds supply, redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die; and shall be till I die, Redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die.

Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I’ll sing thy power to save, when this poor lisping, stammering tongue lies silent in the grave; Lies silent in the grave, lies silent in the grave; When this poor lisping, stammering tongue lies silent in the grave.”

Redeemed

 

Redeemed

Redeemed means having been saved or delivered from sin or its consequences. When Jesus died on the cross, He delivered us from sin. It is by His Mercy, the forgiveness to whom it is not deserving, that we are saved from our sins. Once that is done, we become His child now and forever. We can acknowledge Him as our blessed Redeemer and sing praises to Him all day long.

Lyrics by Fanny J. Crosby, arranged by William J. Kirkpatrick

“Redeemed how I love to proclaim it! Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb; Redeemed through His infinite mercy, His child forever, I am.

Redeemed and so happy in Jesus, no language my rapture can tell; I know that the light of His presence with me doth continually dwell.

I think of my blessed Redeemer, I think of Him all the day long; I sing, for I cannot be silent; His love is the theme of my song.

I know I shall see in His Beauty the King in whose law I delight, Who lovingly guardeth my footsteps, and giveth me songs in the night.

Redeemed, redeemed, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb; Redeemed, redeemed, His child, and forever I am.”

Nothing But the Blood

 

Nothing But the Blood

The blood of Jesus is the only thing that can wash away our sins, it’s the only thing that can make us whole again. It’s not anything that we can do that will atone our sins. Only the blood of Jesus can give us hope and peace and righteousness.

Lyrics by Robert Lowry, arranged by Robert Lowry

“What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus; What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

For my pardon this I see, nothing but the blood of Jesus; For my cleansing, this my plea, nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Nothing can for sin atone, nothing but the blood of Jesus; Naught of good that I have done, nothing but the blood of Jesus.

This is all my hope and peace, nothing but the blood of Jesus; This is all my righteousness, nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Oh! Precious is the flow that makes me white as snow; No other fount I know. Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Nor Silver nor Gold

 

Nor Silver nor Gold

There is no amount of money, silver or gold that can get us into heaven. It doesn’t matter if you are rich or poor, it cannot save your soul. It matters not how good you are or the deeds you have done. It won’t earn your way into heaven. The death of Jesus, His blood shed for us is our only foundation that can make us whole and open the door to our salvation. Trust and believe in God, give yourself to Him in baptism and be obedient to Him. Build on your relationship with His son, Jesus. That is the way to the throne of God.

Lyrics by James M. Gray, arranged by Daniel B. Towner

“Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my redemption, nor riches of earth could have saved my poor soul; The blood of the cross is my only  foundation, the death of my Savior now maketh me whole.

Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my redemption, the guilt on my conscience too heavy had grown; The blood of the cross is my only foundation, the death of my Savior could only atone.

Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my redemption the holy commandment forbade me draw near; The blood of the cross is my only foundation, The death of my Savior removeth my fear.

Nor silver nor gold hath obtained my redemption, the way into heaven could not thus be bought; The blood of the cross is my only foundation, the death of my Savior redemption hath wrought.

I am redeemed but not with silver; I am bought but not with gold; Bought with a price the blood of Jesus. Precious price of love untold.”

It Took a Miracle

 

It Took a Miracle

Omnipotent means having unlimited power; able to do anything. That is God. There is nothing He can’t do. If you ever witnessed a miracle, then you can attest to that being true. The Bible tells us of God’s might and power. Who else can part the waters and let mankind walk through? Who else can send thunder and lightning? Who else can send the Spirit to give a virgin child a baby in her womb? You want to know more, then I encourage you to read the Bible. It is full of God’s power and might.

Lyrics by John W. Peterson, arranged by John W. Peterson

“My Father is omnipotent, and that you can’t deny; A God of might and miracles tis written in the sky.

Tho here His glory has been shown, we still can’t fully see the wonders of His might, His throne twill take eternity.

The Bible tells us of His power and wisdom all way through, and every little bird and flower are testimonies too.

It took a miracle to put the stars in place,  it took a miracle to hang the world in space; But when He saved my soul,  cleansed and made me whole, it took a miracle of love and grace!
