Face to Face

 Revelation 22:3-4 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: 

[4] And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

1 Corinthians 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

At last, believers will see the face of Jesus. 

It is the highest objective for living. What divine satisfaction!

I can’t wait. 

Face To Face

_________________________

Face to face with Christ my Savior, — Face to face--what will it be   —   When with rapture I behold Him, — Jesus Christ who died for me? 

CHORUS:

Face to face I shall behold Him, — Far beyond the starry sky; —   Face to face in all His glory, — I shall see Him by and by!

Only faintly now I see Him   —   With the darkened veil between,   —   But a blessed day is coming   —   When His glory shall be seen.

What rejoicing in His presence,  —  When are banished grief and pain; —  When the crooked ways are straightened  —  And the dark things shall be plain.

Face to face--oh, blissful moment! — Face to face--to see and know; — Face to face with my Redeemer, — Jesus Christ who loves me so.

Jesus is All The World to Me

Philippians 1:21  For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

The most important thing in the life of a Christian is knowing  Jesus Christ is in his/her life.— to having fellowship with Him so that He is all the world to you. 

So, If living in Christ is wonderful, then to die would be more of Christ. That would be gain (more wonderful). . 

Jesus is All The World to Me

_________________________

Jesus is all the world to me,  —  My life, my joy, my all;  —  He is my strength from day to day, —  Without Him I would fall.— When I am sad, to Him I go, — No other one can cheer me so;   —   When I am sad, He makes me glad,   —   He’s my Friend.

Jesus is all the world to me, — My Friend in trials sore; — I go to Him for blessings, and — He gives them o’er and o’er. — He sends the sunshine and the rain,   —   He sends the harvest’s golden grain;   —   Sunshine and rain, harvest of grain,   —   He’s my Friend.

Jesus is all the world to me, — And true to Him I’ll be; — Oh, how could I this Friend deny,— When He’s so true to me? — Following Him I know I’m right,— He watches o’er me day and night; — Following Him by day and night,   —   He’s my Friend.

Jesus is all the world to me, — I want no better Friend; — I trust Him now, I’ll trust Him when   —   Life’s fleeting days shall end.   —   Beautiful life with such a Friend,   —   Beautiful life that has no end;   —   Eternal life, eternal joy,   —   He’s my Friend.

We Are So Blessed

Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Psalm 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

The Lord is able to turn the worst of times into the greatest of blessings. 

That is how He arranges life for His glory and our good, Rom. 8:28; 2 Cor. 4:17 

His goodness and blessings are all reminders that we are precious in His sight! 

The best thing you can do is to bring yourself to Jesus and say, "Lord. Fill my cup!" 

If you do with an honest, hungry heart, He will bless your life to overflowing and beyond.

We Are So Blessed

______________________

We are so blessed   —  By the gifts from Your hand,   —  I just can't understand   —  Why You've loved us so much.    —  We are so blessed   —  We just can't find a way   —  Or the words that can say   —  Thank You Lord for Your touch. 

CHORUS:

When we're empty   —  You fill us 'til we overflow.   —  When we're hungry   —  You feed us and cause us to know   —  We are so blessed,   —  Take what we have to bring.   —  Take it all ev'rything.   —  Lord, we love You so much

We are so blessed   —  By the things You have done,   —  The vict'ries we've won — And what You've brought us through. — We are so blessed,   —  Take what we have to bring,   —  Take it all ev'rything.  —  Lord, we bring it to You.

No One Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus

 1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Worry about nothing; pray about everything.” That is, take it to the Lord in prayer, and leave it there—don’t pick it up again.

Don’t worry about your problems or the unknown. 

Pray about it. leave it at the feet of Jesus and don’t pick it up again.

Be assured that Jesus cares for you. 

No One Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus

___________________________________

I would love to tell you what I think of Jesus  —   Since I found in Him a friend so strong and true.  —   I would tell you how He changed my life completely.  —   He did something that no other friend could do.

CHORUS:
No one ever cared for me like Jesus,  —   There's no other friend so kind as He.  —   No one else could take the sin and darkness from me  —   O how much He cared for me!

All my life was full of sin when Jesus found me.  —   All my heart was full of misery and woe.  —   Jesus placed His strong and loving arms around me, — And He led me in the way I ought to go.

Every day He comes to me with new assurance,  —   More and more I understand His words of love.  —   But I'll never know just why He came to save me  —Till some day I see His blessed face above.

O Worship The King

Psalm 104:1 Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.

Psalm 104:31,33 The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works. 

[33] I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

Man was created to praise God. May we never stop. 

O Worship The King

_______________________

O wordhip the King, All glorious above;  —  O gratefully sing His power and his love:  —  Our shield and defender, The Ancient of days,  —  Pavilioned in splendour, And girded with praise.

O tell of his might, O sing of his grace,  —  Whose robe is the light, Whose canopy space;  —  Whose chariots of wrath deep thunder-clouds form;  —  And dark is his path on the wings of the storm.

Frail children of dust, And feeble as frail,  —  In thee do we trust, Nor find thee to fail;  —  Thy mercies how tender, How firm to the end,  —  Our Maker, defender, Redeemer, and friend!

O measureless Might! Ineffable Love!  —  While angels delight To hymn thee above,  —  The humbler creation, Though feeble their lays,  —  With true adoration Shall lisp to thy praise.

It is Well With My Soul

Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

There is a place of rest for the weary soul and that place is Jesus Christ.

There is also a rest which the believer experiences, and it comes through commitment and consecration to Christ. 

Living in the center of God’s will gives a joy, a fulfillment, a happiness that can be found no where else in life. 

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!

For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:   —   If Jordan above me shall roll,   —   No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life   —   Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

But, Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,   —   The sky, not the grave, is our goal;   —   Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!   —   Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul!

And Lord, haste the day when the 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.

Reach Out to Jesus

Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

Psalm 3:4 I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.

Often we wait until we reach the end of our rope to seek help from the Lord.  

Jesus knows about your problem. He wants you to reach out to Him. 

He will cleanse your heart and meet your need.  

Believe it. 

Reach Out to Jesus

_______________________

Is your burden heavy as you bear it all alone?  —   Does the road you travel, harbor dangers yet unknown?  —   Are you growin' weary in the struggle of it all?  —   Jesus will help you when on his name you call.

CHORUS:

He is always there hearing every prayer, faithful and true, —   Walking by our side, in his love we hide all the day through. —   When you get discouraged just remember what to do. —. Reach out to Jesus, He is reaching out to you.

Is the life you're living filled with sorrow and despair? — Does the future press you with its worry and its care?  —   Are you tired and friendless, have you almost lost your way?  —   Jesus will help you, just call to him today.
