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!

~~~~~~~~

1 Peter 5:6-10

Humble yourselves therefore under
the mighty hand of God, that he
may exalt you in due time:

Matthew 6:33

But seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and his righteousness; and all these
things shall be added unto you.

1 John 4:19
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!

~~~~~~~

 1 John 4:19

We love him,
because
he first loved us.

John 13:34-35

“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!

because
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!
