It's Because Of God's Love

It's Because Of God's Love

Out of envy, out of hatred, Jesus was torn;

He was beaten, betrayed, mocked and rejected.

Hurt beyond words, He was unrecognizable;

God's only begotten Son - was not accepted.  

The crowds in unison chanted, Crucify Him!

Crucify Him!  Crucify Him! the hateful roared.

He suffered, He bled, and they jeered, as He died.

But the power of hell was broken by our Lord.

Tears mingled in His blood at the foot of the cross;

But a miracle from heaven was on its way; 

Salvation was born on that Resurrection day;

Hallelujah, Jesus came to seek and to save.

All hell could not defeat Him,  death could not keep him;

For Jesus our Saviour was God in human flesh.

It's because of God's love, His salvation is known;

Now under His wings is comfort and perfect rest.

Because Of God's Love

( Song)©

 John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Ephesians 2:1-9

And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.  But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ,
 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

An Easter Thanksgiving

An Easter Thanksgiving

Every day is Thanksgiving when we are a child of God. 

We have every reason to praise Him, if we believe. 

Pray and love Him each day, we should give Him glory, give Him praise;

No matter if it's Easter or if it's Christmas Eve.

Let us thank the Lord, in one accord, this Resurrection Day; 

Jesus  has loved us more than we have ever been loved before;

Our Lord was torn ,was mocked ,was scorned and died for our sin.

He arose that bright morning never to die again.

Thank-you Jesus for giving your  life as a perfect sacrifice;

We praise your name, you overcame the powers of hell.

 You lit our dark hearts with life and gave us hope forevermore;

You fill our hearts with hopes and dreams, that will never fail.

Thank-you for the arising sun, that speaks of all that you have done;

And each blooming flower that returns from winter's grave.

Thank-you for your blessed Word,  through which you speak and in us stir;

By your grace, the believing , claim your name and are saved.

Every day is Thanksgiving when we  are a child of God. 

We have every reason to praise Him, if we believe. 

Pray and love Him each day, we should give Him glory, give Him praise;

No matter if it's Easter or if it's Christmas Eve.

Chorus:

Every day is Thanksgiving when we love Jesus.

We should praise Him and love Him each day;

This we know, His joy is aglow, in every thankful  heart.

For in believing,  we have our own resurrection day.

His Love For Us

His Love For Us

God knows we are empty without him.

He knows we don't understand;

He sent us his light, to light up our lives;

And he offers his life saving hands.

See the nail scars in his opened hands?

They were scared for sinful man.

To redeem us with his precious blood;

See the love that drew salvation's plan?

See the scars upon his faithful feet?

They were scared to lead the Way.

To lead us into his righteousness;

And to heaven one bright day.

His side was pierced, his blood flowed free;

The scar is still there to see.

His love for us, bid him die for us;

Oh, the love of Calvary.

His blood was shed, as he hung his head;

The mockers did not perceive.

That God himself, gave himself for us;

He will save all who believe.

They took his torn body from the cross;

On that woeful day of doom.

But glory hallelujah;

He arose from that dark tomb.

The light appeared in that cold dark place;

Where Jesus stood at the door....

Today he offers his nail scared hand;

To be saved forever more.

And  as a new day sun arises;

As new flowers of spring bloom.

So do our hearts in his redeeming;

The day we give him room.

 Revelations  3:20 

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Oh, God's Glory Hallelujah, Shine On - 2

Oh, God's Glory Hallelujah,  Shine On

Jesus gave His life on Calvary;

To save us from hell's fatality.

Our debt was paid on that cruel cross.

He came to give His life for you and me.

The sun was darkened when Jesus died.

The crowds of people were terrified.

The earth shook and quaked in it's  grieving.

As they watched the death of the King of kings.

Oh, God's glory hallelujah, shine on;

The stone at the tombs entrance was gone.

The sun came up Resurrection morn;

And it was like a new day was born.

Jesus triumphant, defeated death:

He defeated hell, and we are blest.

Glorious morning, Jesus lives;

And He lives forever to forgive.

Just as He has risen from the dead;

Just as he has bruised the devil's head.

He defeated the power of sin.

So you too can come alive in Him.

No longer lost, but found in Jesus;

Oh, the love, He has shed upon us.

Oh, God's glory hallelujah, shine on;

What a wonderful resurrection morn.

 Colossians 2:12 

Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

 Colossians 3:1

 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

Jesus Won The Victory For Us - corrected

Jesus Won The Victory For Us

Our Lord came to die that we could live;

He laid down His own life. 

The Lord had provided himself a lamb;

Himself, the sacrifice.

Holy, blameless, without spot, without sin;

Creator, omniscient;

God incarnate, the great Emanuel;

He took our punishment.

His blood fell upon the hill of death;

Upon the hill of scorn.

So you and I could find our way home;

So we could be reborn.

Jesus was laid in a borrowed tomb;

But death could not win.

He arose at the appointed time;

Death could not control Him.

Jesus won the victory for us;

He provided the Way.

When the light shined into the empty tomb;

On Resurrection day.

Jesus won the victory for us;

Jesus won over death.

Now on this Resurrection morning

We are so happy and blest.

Rejoice In The Lord Forever - Easter

Rejoice In The Lord Forever

Rejoice in the Lord forever;
Lift up your voice in praise,
For God so loved the world that He;
Gave us His saving grace.

He died upon the cross that day;
Himself He freely gave.
For all the world He gave His life
So men could then be saved.

Rejoice in the Lord forever.
He gave himself to pay;
A ransom that we could not pay;
That Crucifixion day.

The soldiers took Him from the cross;
The women wailed in tears.
They put Him in an empty tomb;
Many hearts beat in fear.

But death could not overcome Him;
The stone was rolled away.
He arose more than a champion;
That Resurrection day.

Rejoice in the Lord forever;
Lift up your voice in praise.
For Jesus gave himself to die;
And now he seeks to save.

Your Easter Celebration

Your Easter Celebration

May your Easter celebration;

Be more than fun and food.

May the thoughts  of Christ our Savior;

Bring you joy renewed.

Remembering His faithfulness;

His love, and price He paid.

That  Easter  Day -Resurrection;

Salvation's way was paved.

May it be a day of laughter;

A day of gratefulness.

For the Springtime within the heart.

Because of His forgiveness.

May your Easter celebration;

Point your child to the cross.

For if it is all vanity;

Your child will suffer loss.

May your Easter be a memory;

Your child will hold onto.

A memory of dedication;

For  Christ who died for me and you.

A Glorious Gift Was Given - Easter

A Glorious Gift Was Given
Easter

By: Susan Y Nikitenko  

2009 revised  and renamed April 2nd, 2012 
Formerly was called - The most glorious Truth

A glorious gift was given;

 When Christ died for my sin.

He arose and I'm justified;

I’m found perfect in Him.

He intercedes both day and night;

He prays for me each day.

He’s praying for my conformity,

To live the living way.

So faithfully, He prays for me;

To overcome the world.

His hand of grace is on my life.

He is an awsome Lord.

I’m in His hand forever.

He holds me there to stay.

Until that great, exciting day;

He carries me away.

One day I will be glorified;

A perfect glowing soul.

Praising in His kingdom;

While, His glory I behold.

Songs of love and admiration;
Will chime both day and night.
A great and wondrous jubilee;
Will fill the heavens bright.

With all my brothers by my side;

My sisters there as well.

We will sing and praise the One;

Who saved our souls from hell.

His resurrection power lives;
Within the heart of those.
Who trust in what He did for them.
He died and He arose.

A glorious gift was given;

When Christ died for mankind.

It is available to all;
For those who seek - will find.

1Peter 1:3

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

John 17:9 -24

 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
  As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

How Could We Forget So Soon? Easter

How Could We Forget So Soon?

An Easter Prayer  Poem About God's Provision

How could we forget so soon;

The agony you faced for us that day?

How could we forget so soon;

The sacrifice you were willing to pay?

How could we forget at all;

The miracle of your resurrection?

How could we forget at all;

Your power revealed in all creation?

Not one mountain is too tall;

The greatest ocean is never too wide.

No problem or obstacle;

Is too enormous- you still can provide.

Hells power could not keep you;

Life returned to your lungs that Easter day.

The angels stood by your tomb;

With great force, the tomb's stone was rolled away.

There you stood in the doorway;

Our victorious risen Holy Lord.

Death and Hell could not keep you;

You provided love to this world.

Perhaps the birds were singing;

Maybe Easter lilies lined the pathway.

Did the angels rejoice there;

In celebration of that Holy day?

We serve a  risen Savoir.

You see our hearts and know our faintest cry.

We serve a loving Savior.

Your grace is never lacking in supply.

Not one mountain is too tall;

The greatest ocean is never too wide.

No problem or obstacle;

Is too enormous -  you still can provide.

Easter is a time of remembering;

All that Jesus Christ has done.

Loving, honoring, and celebrating;

The vic'try that day, that was won.

Eternal Life was provided by Him;

"Rejoice! One and all, in God's Son."

Easter Is a time of remembering;

A risen Christ victorious.

Our Savior won over death and hell;

The thought of it is glorious.

Eternal love has conquered the curse;

"Rejoice!  For what he's done for us.
