Lord, I love You ~
Lord have I told You lately,
just how much I love You . . .
have I expressed my gratitude
for all, for me You do?
Have I sung to You my praise,
for Your mercy and Your grace
have I told you I can’t wait
till I can thank You face to face?
Lord have I stressed to You,
the faith in You I have found
have I said I appreciate You
for keeping my heart sound?
Have I expressed You keep me,
pressing on each new day
have I told You how delighted
You’re my Light, Truth and Way?
Lord if I have neglected,
telling You these things lately
I want to make it clear right now
it’s how I feel about You daily!
~~~~~~~~
We love him,
because he
first loved us.

The Length Of God’s Love ~
Have you considered,
God’s love and its length
have you thought about
the power of its strength?
Do you know it stretches,
from here to eternity
do you believe it includes
all of humanity?
Do you comprehend,
God’s love is measureless
do you understand
His mercy is limitless?
Do you perceive God had,
from the beginning a plan
can you conclude Jesus
came to fill the empty span?
Can you embrace His love,
and its infinite distance . . .
have you contemplated
the truth of its existence?
Have you considered,
loving God too
just because He first . . .
showed His love for you?
~~~~~~~~
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.
We love him,
because he
first loved us.
May be able to comprehend
with all saints what is the breadth,
and length, and depth, and height;
And to know the love of Christ,
which passeth knowledge, that
ye might be filled with all the
fulness of God.

Because I am Loved ~
Because I am loved,
I am humble . . .
under my cares
I don’t crumble.
Because I am humble,
I am set free
from the devil
I am able to flee.
Because I am free,
I am forgiven
to holy living
I am driven.
Because I am forgiven,
I am saved
to the world’s ways
I’m no longer a slave.
Because I am saved,
I am strong
no more desire
I have to do wrong.
Because I was loved,
by Jesus first . . .
after righteousness
I hunger and thirst!
~~~~~~~~
Humble yourselves therefore under
the mighty hand of God, that he
may exalt you in due time:
But seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and his righteousness; and all these
things shall be added unto you.
We love him,
because he first loved us.

Just Because ~
Tell someone you love them,
just because . . .
let them see your appreciation
just because.
You don’t need to buy a gift,
or a card from a store
just tell someone how much
them you cherish and adore.
Tell someone you love them,
just because . . .
let them see you truly care
just because.
You don’t need a special day,
to show them your affection
everyday you can make
this your heartfelt confession.
Tell someone you love them,
just because . . . .
for Jesus loved us first
just because!
~~~~~~~
We love him,
because
he first loved us.
“A new commandment I give unto you,
That ye love one another; as I have
loved you, that ye also love one another.
By this shall all men know that
ye are my disciples, if ye have
love one to another.”

Blood Transfusion ~
Some day’s I need,
a blood transfusion
with God’s grace
I need an infusion.
Some day’s I need,
to be reminded
what life was like
when I was blinded.
Some day’s I need,
a blood transfusion
with God’s love
I need an infusion.
Some day’s I need,
a reality check
recall when I was
a miserable wreck.
Some day’s I need,
a blood transfusion
with God’s mercy
I need an infusion.
Some day’s I need,
to be immersed
in why it was Jesus . . .
who loved me first!

he first loved us.”

Because He First Loved Me ~
I lift my eyes heavenward,
till I envision in my mind . . .
the glory that’s awaiting me
the day with Jesus I will be
My heart swells up with joy,
a chorus of praise begins
for all God is doing for me
till the day with Him I will be.
I feel the burning in my soul,
as my trust begins to flare
I know my hope will carry me
till the day with my God I will be.
My spirit sings sweet melodies,
eternal peace they usher in
oh, the bliss that’s awaiting me
on the day with my Savior I will be.
I lift my eyes heavenward,
till I envision in my mind . . .
the day with my Lord I will be
all because He first loved me!

The Reason for My Hope
I believe in God,
in all of His glorious creation
I believe He made the heavens
and the earth's foundation.I believe that man,
came from but dust
I believe it's God's image
He puts into all of us.I believe that Satan,
is the cause for our fallen state
I believe it's still his lies
he uses on us to trap and bait.I believe that man's heart,
has always been cold and callous
I believe it's full of deceit
filled with ungodly malice.I believe in Jesus,
God's only begotten Son
I believe He died and rose again
for the sins of everyone.I believe in redemption,
from our wicked, evil ways
I believe it's the blood of the Lamb
that washes our sins away.I believe in God's love,
I believe in His grace
I believe one day
God's judgement all will face.I believe in Heaven,
I also believe in hell . . .
I believe for eternity it's where
the unsaved will dwell.I believe in the hope,
Jesus imparts in me
I believe all can be saved
if these truth they'd just see!~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peter 3:15
King James Version"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:
and be ready always to give an answer to
every man that asketh you a reason of the hope
that is in you with meekness and fear:"Copyright 2014

I will not be shaken,
nothing can rattle me
not even my own death
will take me, Lord from Thee.I will not tremble,
I have nothing to fear
even if I'm all alone
God is always near.I will not waiver,
on my Rock, I will stand
if I was to stumble
in His grace I will land.I will not be moved,
nothing can take away
the love I have for Jesus
from His ways I'll not stray.I will not be shaken,
nothing will take from me
the peace, faith and hope
I have dear Lord, in Thee!~~~~~~~
Psalm 62:1-2
"Truly my soul waiteth upon God:
from him cometh my salvation.
"He only is my rock and my salvation;
he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved."King James Version
