It is Well With MySoul

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Salvation changes everything. 

In Him, and by the power of His Spirit, we are given the ability to stand against enemies of the soul. 

By the grace of God I’m glad I can say it is well with my soul. 

It is Well With My Soul

_______________________

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,   —    When sorrows like sea billows roll;   —    Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,   —    It is well, it is well with my soul.

CHORUS:

It is well {It is well}   —    With my soul {With my soul},   —    It is well, it is well with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,   —    Let this blest assurance control;   —    That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,   —    And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

My sin—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!   —   My sin, not in part but the whole,   —    Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,   —    Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

And Lord, haste the day when our faith shall be sight,   —    The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;   —    The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,   —    Even so, it is well with my soul.

Since Jesus Came Into My Heart

Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

2 Corinthians 5:17  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

The wonderful truth is that when we believe with all our heart on the Lord Jesus Christ, He redeems us of all sin and we become a new creature in Him.

Since Jesus Came Into My Heart

____________________________

What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought,    —    Since Jesus came into my heart;    —    I have light in my soul for which long I have sought,    —    Since Jesus came into my heart.

CHORUS:

Since Jesus came into my heart,    —    Since Jesus came into my heart.    —    Floods of joy o’er my soul like the sea billows roll,    —    Since Jesus came into my heart.

I have ceased from my wand’ring and going astray,    —    Since Jesus came into my heart;    —    And my sins which were many are all washed away,    —    Since Jesus came into my heart.

I shall go there to dwell in that City I know,    —    Since Jesus came into my heart;  —  And I’m happy, so happy as onward I go,  —  Since Jesus came into my heart.

I Will Serve Thee

Ephesians 5:8-10  For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 

[9] (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 

[10] Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

I Will Serve Thee

_________________________

I will serve Thee because I love Thee, — You have given life to me. —  I was nothing before You found me,    —    You have given life to me.

Heartaches, broken pieces,    —    Ruined lives are why You died on Calvary.    —    Your touch is what I longed for,    —    You have given life to me.

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

Lamentations 3:22-23  It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 

[23] They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

Just as every new day brings with it its own set of burdens and problems, so each day witnesses a new, unfailing, all-sufficient, supply of God’s marvelous, matchless, wonderful, amazing grace.

Trust Him. God is faithful. 

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

_________________________

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;    —   There is no shadow of turning with Thee;    —   Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;    —   As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.

CHORUS:

Great is Thy faithfulness!    —   Great is Thy faithfulness!    —   Morning by morning new mercies I see:    —   All I have needed Thy hand hath provided    —   Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

                    

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest—   Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above — Join with all nature in manifold witness — To Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,    —   Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide,    —   Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow    —   Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

The Longer I Serve Him

Ephesians 3:17-19 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 

[18] May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 

[19] And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

The Longer I Serve Him 

_________________________

Since I started for the kingdom,    —-   Since my life He controls;    —-   Since I gave my heart to Jesus,    —-   The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows.

CHORUS:

The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows;     —-   The more that I love Him more love He bestows.  —- Each day is like Heaven, my heart overflows.  —-  The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows.

Every need He is supplying,    —-   Plenteous grace He bestows.    —-   Every day my way gets brighter,    —-   The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows.

Near to the Heart of God

Psalm 73:28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy works.

Believers can have an intimate relationship with Jesus because we love Him.  

To be near His heart is peace and rest. 

Near to the Heart of God

_________________________

There is a place of quiet rest,  —  Near to the heart of God;  —  A place where sin cannot molest,    —    Near to the heart of God.

CHORUS:

O Jesus, blest Redeemer,  —  Sent from the heart of God;  —  Hold us, who wait before Thee,    —    Near to the heart of God.

There is a place of comfort sweet, — Near to the heart of God; — A place where we our Savior meet,    —    Near to the heart of God.

There is a place of full release,  — Near to the heart of God;  —  A place where all is joy and peace,    —    Near to the heart of God.

Spirit of the Living God

Romans 8: 2   For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

Thank God for the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus. It makes believers free from sin and death. 

We shall know the spiritual by their fruit — love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance; Gal. 5:22,23.
