Glory to His Name

Ephesians 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

It is only when we yield to the Spirit and let Him control the inner man, that we succeed in living to the full glory of God.

Glory to His Name

___________________

Down at the cross where my Savior died,  —  Down where for cleansing from sin I cried,  — There to my heart was the blood applied;  — Glory to His Name!

CHORUS:

Glory to His Name,    —   Glory to His Name:    —   There to my heart was the blood applied;    —   Glory to His Name!

I am so wondrously saved from sin,   —  Jesus so sweetly abides within,   —   There at the cross where He took me in;    —   Glory to His Name!

Oh, precious fountain that saves from sin,    —   I am so glad I have entered in;    —   There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean;  — Glory to His Name!

Come to this fountain so rich and sweet,    —   Cast thy poor soul at the Savior’s feet;    —   Plunge in today, and be made complete;  —  Glory to His Name!

Elisha A. Hoffman  1878

As the Deer

Psalm 42:1,8 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. 

[8] Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.

When we personally know the loving kindness of our Lord, we will lift Him up in honor and praise. 

As the Deer

_______________

As the deer panteth for the water, — So my soul longeth after Thee. —   You alone are my heart’s desire,    —   And I long to worship Thee

CHORUS:

You alone are my Strength, my Shield;    —   To You alone may my spirit yield.    —   You alone are my heart’s desire,    —   And I long to worship Thee.

You’re my Friend and You are my Brother,    —   Even though You are a King.    —   I love You more than any other,    —   So much more than anything.

I want You more than gold or silver, —  Only You can satisfy. — You alone are the real joy-giver    —   And the apple of my eye.

Martin Nystrom, 1984

Until Then

James 5:8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

It’s hard to be patient when you are waiting to see Jesus. 

This world gets weary.  

“But until then my heart will go on singing.”  (Stuart Hamblen)

Until Then

_______________

My heart can sing when I pause to remember.    —   A heartache here is but a stepping stone    —   Along a path that's winding always upward.    —   This troubled world is not my final home.

CHORUS

But until then my heart will go on singing,    —   Until then with joy I'll carry on;    —   Until the day my eyes behold that city,    —   Until the day God calls me home.

The things of earth will dim and lose their value    —   If we recall they're borrowed for awhile.    —   And things of earth that cause this heart to tremble    —   Remembered there will only bring a smile.

This weary world with all its toil and struggle    —   May take its toll of misery and strife.    —   The soul of man is like a waiting falcon    —   When it's released, it's destined for the skies.

God Leads Us Along

Isaiah 43:2  When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

God reminds the Israelites that He has met their need since day one and that He has pledged Himself to continue to do just that.

What does this mean for us? God has not changed! 

What He did for Israel, He can do for you and me! 

After all, He is no respecter of persons

God Leads Us Along

_______________________

In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet,   —    God leads His dear children along;   —    Where the water’s cool flow bathes the weary one’s feet,   —    God leads His dear children along.

CHORUS:

Some through the waters, some through the flood,   —    Some through the fire, but all through the blood;   —    Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song,   —    In the night season and all the day long.

Sometimes on the mount where the sun shines so bright,   —    God leads His dear children along;   —    Sometimes in the valley, in darkest of night,   —    God leads His dear children along.

Though sorrows befall us and Satan oppose,   —    God leads His dear children along;   —    Through grace we can conquer, defeat all our foes,   —    God leads His dear children along.
