Until Then

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

All the way through Scripture we are taught that we should live in the light of the coming of Christ.

He is coming, and I can’t wait to see Him. 

Until Then

________________________

My heart can sing when I pause to remember    —   A heartache here is but a stepping stone    —   Along a trail 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 the 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 the 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 likea waiting falcon;    —   When it's released, it's destined for the skies.

Learning to Lean

 Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 

[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. 

Trusting Jesus through the trials of life increases our faith, and we learn to lean on Him the next time we are burden with care.  

Learning to Lean

________________________

The joy I can’t explain filled my soul    —    The day I made Jesus my king.    —    His Blessed Holy Spirit is leading my way,    —    He's teaching and I'm learning to lean.

CHORUS:

Learning to lean,     —    Learning to lean,    —    I'm learning to lean on Jesus.    —    Finding more power than I've ever dreamed,    —    I'm learning to lean on Jesus.

Sad broken hearted, at an alter I knelt.    —    I found peace that was so serene.    —    And all that He asked was a child like trust,    —    And a heart that is learning to lea

There's a glorious victory, each day now for me.    —    I've found peace so serene.    —    He helps me with each task, If I'll only ask.    —    Everyday now I'm learning to lean.

Standing on The Promises

 2 Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

All these wonderful, precious promises come through a knowledge of Jesus Christ and by faith in Him.

When you are born again, you are given the nature of God.  That’s amazing! 

Don’t let anybody tell you that the Christian life is a little series of dos and don’ts. 

As a partaker of the divine nature, you want the things of God.

Standing on The Promises

________________________

Standing on the promises of Christ my King,    —   Through eternal ages let His praises ring,    —   Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,    —   Standing on the promises of God.

CHORUS:

Standing, standing,    —   Standing on the promises of God my Savior;    —   Standing, standing,    —   I’m standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises that cannot fail,    —   When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,    —   By the living Word of God I shall prevail,    —   Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises I now can see    —   Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;    —   Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,    —   Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,    —   Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,    —   Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,    —   Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises I cannot fall,    —   List’ning every moment to the Spirit’s call,    —   Resting in my Savior as my all in all,    —   Standing on the promises of God.

My Tribute

Psalm 116:8,12 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. 

[12] What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?

After a difficult, frustrating, pressure–filled day, we need to seek out a quiet place where we can confess our sins, read the Word, and talk with God. 

That is the sanctuary of the soul.

My Tribute

________________

How can I say thanks for the things — You have done for me?    —  Things so undeserved yet you gave  —   To prove your love for me.   —   The voices of a million angels   —   Could not express my gratitude.  —  All that I am, and ever hope to be,

I owe it all to thee.

To God be the glory, to God be the glory,  —  To God be the glory for the things he has done.    —    With his blood he has saved me.    —    With his power he has raised me.  —  To God be the glory for the things he has done.

Just let me live my life and  —  Let it be pleasing Lord to thee.    —    And if I gain any praise, let it go to calvary.  —  With his blood he has saved me. — With his power he has raised me.  — To God be the glory for the things he has done.
