I am forever grateful
To my Lord who rescued me.
For on that cross He suffered
When He died on calvary.
He took my sins upon Him,
Putting them to death with Him,
So now, by my faith in Him,
I am set free from my sin.
In love, He now forgave me,
And He changed me inside out.
He didn’t leave me...
“Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who reside as aliens, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, who are chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood...

Based off The 23rd Psalm
The Lord, He is my Shepherd.
In Him my needs supplied.
In Him, I am not wanting.
For me, He does provide.
He makes me rest in pastures
Of green. I do lie down.
He leads beside still waters.
My heart, it does not pound.
My soul He is restoring.
He guides me in His...

It was God’s will to crush Him,
That He might die for our sins.
By faith in our Lord Jesus,
All our sins are now forgiven.
But faith not just words spoken,
Faith results – obedience,
Our sins all now forsaken,
As we now do walk with Him.
We walk with Him now daily,
Our desire now for Him,
We...

Yet He did not open His mouth;
Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,
And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,
So He did not open His mouth.” (Isaiah 53:7 NASB’95)
When Jesus was arrested for a crime he did not commit, and when he was given a...
“Surely our griefs He Himself bore,
And our sorrows He carried;
Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten of God, and afflicted.
But He was pierced through for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him,
And by His scourging we...
“Who has believed our message?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot,
And like a root out of parched ground;
He has no stately form or majesty
That we should look upon Him,
Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him.
He was...

What do you now believe in?
What captivates your life?
What now gets all your passion?
What in you now is rife?
What gets you up in morning?
Keeps you up late at night?
What satisfies your longings?
What takes you to that height?
What interests you, so you search
For truth of what that is...
