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.

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.

Did They Say He Was Powerless?

Did They Say He Was Powerless?

As they  platted the thorny crown;

And placed it upon His head.

Did they say He was powerless -

To do anything He said?

As they lifted Him to the cross;

Thrust  nails within His hands.

Did they say He was powerless-

 When the winds know His command?

When the last nail pierced His feet;

Did they cheer at his defeat?

Did they say He was powerless -

When His blood dripped from His feet?

As they mocked and watched Him anguish;

Near His final suffering breath;

Did they say He was powerless -

As they watched life turn to death?

Many arose from the grave of death;

Just after our Savior died.

Did they say He was Powerless -

When the earth was opened wide?

As darkness filled the sky in grief;

Earth shook and opened its graves.

Surely this was the Son of God;

The centurion was saved.

When He was placed within the tomb;

With a  great stone placed before.

Did they say He was powerless -

When He appeared at the door?

It may have looked like His defeat;

As they took His body down.

But Jesus is all powerful;

The power of death was bound.

All death and hell were cast down;

When He arose from the grave.

Jesus is all-powerful ;

And did all to seek and save.

Our Lord was never powerless;

Though it seemed so dark and grim.

And with all power in Jesus name;

We walk in power with Him.

Luke 23: 25

And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself if he be Christ, the chosen of God.

Matthew 27: 51-53

And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

And the graves were opened, and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

Peace Maker Or Trouble Maker?

Peace Maker Or Trouble Maker?

I was thinking this morning how the Bible teaches us to be peace makers and asked myself what is the opposite of being a peace maker?  Well all of us know  it would be being a trouble maker.  I thought of Jesus and asked myself the question, What would cause a multitude of people to rise up against Him in anger enough  to cry in unity, " Crucify Him!"  It had to be some trouble makers, in this case, it was the religious leaders.  They were envious of the crowds following Jesus.  They didn't attack Jesus directly they attacked him indirectly, which would have been hard to prove had God not recorded in the Word of God.  They stirred up the chief woman of the city spreading doubt and accusation. They didn't just go out to kill His influence, they were out for blood.   I'm not sure what all they said to get it to happen, but we know one thing they weren't being peace makers they were being trouble makers.  Some people say words don't hurt, but words can make people mad.  Words can be used to manipulate a crowd of people into doing something wrong.  The envious religious leaders, just had to set back and watch it all happen as though they had done nothing wrong.  Jesus went from being followed to being flogged.

Because You’re Worthy to Be Praised - By: Susan Y Nikitenko

Because You’re Worthy to Be Praised

I want to write a new song;

And sing so all can hear.

How you changed my life completely;

Wiped away my flowing tears.

I want to sing it outright;

Praises to your precious name.

In the morning and at night;

Everyday no shame.

Because you’re worthy to be praised;

Your hands were wounded for me.

One day I will see your face;

With thanks for setting me free.

This world seems so far from you;

Many have turned aside.

Please, use my serving hands for thee;

And close to you I’ll hide.

Because you’re worthy to be praised;

Your feet were wounded for me.

One day I will walk with you;

Touch your cheek so tenderly.

I will tell you how I love you;

Because you first loved me.

Oh, what a day, great and wonderful day;

To behold your face and say.

You are worthy to be praised;

Your side was wounded for me.

And I will fall down on my face;

Loving, praising you eternally.
