“Redeem The Time”

May the Lord fill you with the knowledge of His will
May the troubled waters of your heart He make still
May He grant to you all spiritual wisdom and insight
May you walk victoriously in the power of His might
May you lean upon Him as He does His work in you
May He bring to your mind the precepts of His Truth
May you continually bear fruit for Him as you mature
May you when trials come have the strength to endure
May your faith be steadfast and immovable in every way
May you wisely redeem the time He has given you today

Ephesians 1:18-19 (NASB)
18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
19 and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe.

"How Glorious And Mighty Is He"

God has a purpose in everything He does
His divine plans are perfect in every way
All things He holds within His sovereignty
Maker of Heaven and Earth; Night and Day

He alone knows the end from the beginning
He Was, He Is, and for Eternity He Will Be
Exalted Lord and King; There Is None Other
How Holy; How Glorious and Mighty Is He

Amos 5:8 (NASB)
He who made the Pleiades and Orion And changes deep darkness into morning, Who also darkens day into night, Who calls for the waters of the sea And pours them out on the surface of the earth, The LORD is His name.

God's love is endless; He is always faithful, merciful, He never changes, and He never fails us. Holy, Mighty, Majestic, High and Lifted Up; Glorious, Gracious, Compassionate; Author of Salvation, our Rock, Fortress, and Deliverer; we shall praise, worship, and enjoy Him forever...

"For His Glory"

Who are we that God notices us?
Creator of All; Transcendent King
Why did He send His Son to die?
On the Cross, a Perfect Offering

Why does He hear our prayers?
In Jesus, we have righteousness
How can we receive forgiveness?
When our sins to Him we confess

Why were we put upon this earth?
For His glory, and because He lives
What motivates us to live for Him?
Because He is ours; and we are His

Ephesians 2:4-7 (NASB)
4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,
5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places inChrist Jesus,
7 so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

"He Loves And Cares For You"

When storm clouds darken your day
Your mind and emotions are spent
You don’t have the strength to pray
You’re wondering where God went

No matter what you may think or feel
Dear One, He hasn’t moved from you
Promises laid out in His Word are real
His absolute, eternal measure of Truth

Nothing can pluck you from His hand
You know that His promises are true
Hide this in your heart and understand
Unfailingly, He loves and cares for you

Hebrews 13:8 (NASB)
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

"Forever In My Heart"

Neither the sum of my thoughts, nor all the words that Iwrite
Can capture what will seize my heart when faith is madesight
The Gospel of Christ compels me; I am brought closer to Him
A sanctifying, holy fire; a kindled flame burns brightlywithin

Empowered through His Truth; driven to my knees in prayer
He alone is worthy; I am not; He keeps me in His divine care
He and I; Jesus and me; for this day, for eternity; never apart
Not I, but He; not my life, but His; first, forever in my heart

Psalms 116:1-2 (NASB)
1 I love the LORD, because He hears My voice and my supplications.
2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I shall call upon Him as long as I live.

"Today is the Day"

“Today is the Day”

No matter what your circumstance
How you feel or what you've done
You can find mercy and forgiveness
Through Jesus Christ, God's Only Son

Each moment presents an opportunity
To receive His salvation; to turn to Him
Come now to the Savior, just as you are
He'll forgive you; cleanse you of your sin

A new life awaits you; a Heavenly destiny
Don't let the voices of darkness interfere
Bring all you are to the foot of the Cross
Today is the day that redemption is here

Isaiah 53:6 (NASB)
All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him.

II Corinthians 6:2 (NASB)
for He says, "AT THE ACCEPTABLE TIME I LISTENED TO YOU, AND ON THE DAY OF SALVATION I HELPED YOU." Behold, now is "THE ACCEPTABLE TIME," behold, now is "THE DAY OF SALVATION"

Isaiah 1:18 (NASB)
"Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD, "Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They will be like wool.

"Child of the King"

I pray God guide and guard you today
That He bless you in every possible way
Surround you with His comfort and love
Give you His peace and grace from above

Your Mighty Fortress and Strong Shield
May His Word be the Sword you wield
Remind you every day of this one thing
That You are forever a Child of the King

Isaiah 43:1 (NASB)
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine!

"While You Still Have Breath"

You must answer these questions
Your day of reckoning will come
Where will you spend eternity?
Do you know Jesus, God’s Son?

You can try and ignore the Truth
But your mortality you can't ignore
When your soul is required of you
What will you have been living for?

Give this serious thought, you see
Because regardless of how you feel
God's Word says you live only once
The judgment that awaits you is real

Jesus died so that you could be free
From sin's curse and unending death
If you just ask Him to, He'll forgive you
Do it today, while you still have breath

Mark 8:36-37 (NASB)
36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?
37 For what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

John 3:16-18 (NASB)
16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
17 "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
18 "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God

"Thankful To God For You"

They're the unsung heroes
Who labor behind the scenes
They love us and they listen
To our hopes and our dreams

They support and believe in us
Encourage us when we're sad
They walk through life with us
In the good times and the bad

To them we owe our gratitude
For who they are and all they do
This we say to our moms today
We are thankful to God for you
