WE THANK GOD (COLOSSIANS 1:3)

What a time
An age of man
Rome ruled the world
With roads and pax Romano
Roman law ruled the land

This place is not our home
Our Father guarantees that
No matter how much syncretism
We are alive in Christ
The Gospel brings victory for our soul

Jesus lived, died, buried and was raised by the power of God
This is a blessed gift from the Father
No matter how bad I think I am
It is always my righteousness that condemns
Jesus paid the price and we live IN CHRIST

We thank God for His precious gift
We have a hope in heaven
Victory won we live for the Son
This life is but a vapor
Thank you God for Christ

THANK YOU GOD

Thank you for today
I thought I moved away
I caught myself in second guess
Thinking I was in charge
Commending myself to Thee
My righteousness is as filthy rags

Because I’m flesh and bone
The Spirit seems unreal
I cannot see across the divide
Eternity enshrouds me
Jesus set me free
I live this life IN CHRIST

I do have faith
Lord strengthen my faith
My hope grows strong
I now belong
Thank you for loving me
IN CHRIST I live and breathe

In Christ
In the Church
In the family
Living in victory
I bend my knee
Jesus be Lord over me

FERVENT LOVE

A letter to the saved
You must love one another fervently
It is hard to love the unlovely
This is required of you as an act of obedience
Love is not an emotion
It is a full time activity
In our surrender to God it is genuine

You are born again; a new heart beats in your body
Within you is a seed of the Lord Jesus Christ
Obedience provides the ground for this likeness to grow
It is Christ-like to love; it is an act of our new will
Jesus is Lord of our life; we live for Him
We choke out fleshly actions
We cultivate a new life of love day by day

Cultivate this Godly love
Carefully walk under the guidance of the Holy Spirit
Turn your sin over to Jesus; stay confessed up
Do not tremble but walk proudly in your close relationship with Jesus
Jesus will guide your actions every moment
Spend time with Him in His Word and talking with Him
Give Jesus your heart and your devotion for He loves you

Change is the requirement; become more like Jesus
Seek to know your weaknesses and let the Lord control them
Know yourself; constantly let His Word search through you
The Lord will touch your failures with victory
Each day you will become more like Jesus
Fervently love one another from your heart
Jesus is alive in you and you represent Him

OBEDIENCE

I worked I slaved to be renowned
Gave all that I had
Just to achieve
The accolades of man
What more could I have done?

Along the way
My family died
Children I didn’t know
Times I was away
I did it all for God

Today I stand before my Christ
I survived my sacrifice
Although many others didn’t
I know that I have victories
I did it all for God

Jesus looked so hurt and pained
“All I wanted was obedience
For you to be a slave
Meet the needs of those you knew
Care for the hurting, search for the lost”

“Following me brings life
All around are those in need
I don’t love sacrifice
My call was to serve family, others and ME
What you did was for you!”

Jesus forgive me
I got it wrong so many times
When I am weak you are strong
“I forgive you of your wrong
Come into my rest you are home”
