John 3:17

 

Jesus Came To Save ~

Jesus came not to condemn,
but to save us from our sin
to free us from the bondage
of the evilness that lives within.

But, the flesh fights the spirit,
and works its way into our life
bringing us upheaval in this world
and into the next one endless strife.

The works of the flesh are clear,
fornication and uncleanness,
idolatry, witchcraft, lasciviousness
envy, hatred and drunkenness.

Add to these adultery and wrath,
selfishness, strife and greed
impurity, murder and covertness
from which we all need to be freed.

Jesus, came not to condemn,
but to save those who confess
repent and turn from their sins
and no longer transgress!

John 3:17

“For God sent not his Son
into the world to condemn
the world;
but that the world
through him might be saved.”

His Name is Jesus ~

His name is Jesus,
the bright Morning Star
He can change your life
right where you are.

His name is Jesus,
God’s begotten Son
He came to forgive
each and everyone.

His name is Jesus,
the sturdy Rock
He opens doors
hears every knock.

His name is Jesus,
the True Vine and Light
He brings victory
gives eternal sight.

His name is Jesus,
Savior, Prince of Peace
He calms the waters
brings sweet release.

Build A Bridge of Hope ~

Build a bridge of hope,
repair the broken span
restore someone’s life
to the Son of Man.

Build the bridge with love,
help them to see God’s will
bring back a wandering soul
to the One who yearns to heal.

Build the bridge in grace,
show them what mercy is about
lead them to their Savior
guide them through their doubt.

Build the bridge of salvation,
to the Cross that sets them free
tell them why Jesus had to die
that day at Calvary!
