Gives Them All To Jesus

Psalm 43:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

Is the trials, troubles and valleys of life stealing your joy and ruining your life? 

If so, the secret to being free from their power in your life is —    

1. Learn to take your burdens to the Lord. 

2. Commit to living your life according to His will and praise Him even if it kills you. 

3. Rest in the confidence that the valleys will soon be behind us forever.

Give Them All To Jesus

Are you tried of chasing pretty rainbows?   —    Are you tired of spinning round and round?   —    Wrap up all the shattered dreams of your life,   —    And at the feet of Jesus lay them down.

CHORUS:

Give them all, Give them all,   —    Give them all to Jesus,   —    Shattered dreams, wounded hearts, broken toys,   —    Give them all, Give them all,   —    Give them all to Jesus,   —    And he will turn your sorrow into joy.

He never said you would only see sunshine.  —  He never said there would be no rain.  —  He only promised us a heart full of singing.   —    `That's the very thing that once brought pain.

The Solid Rock

1 Corinthians 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

When you came to Christ, you came with no works — bringing nothing to receive everything! 

You were put on that Rock which is Christ. Now you can build on that. This is where good works come in.

Are you building on Him? That is the important question for the believer.

The Solid Rock

________________________

My hope is built on nothing less   —   Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness; — I dare not trust the sweetest  frame, — But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

CHORUS:

On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;   —   All other ground is sinking sand,   —   All other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness veils His lovely face, — I rest on His unchanging grace; — In every high and stormy gale, — My anchor holds within the veil.

When He shall come with trumpet sound,— Oh, may I then in Him be found; — Dressed in His righteousness alone, — Faultless to stand before the throne.

He Leadeth Me

Psalm 23:1-3  The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 

[2] He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 

[3] He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

No matter what happens, the Hand of God holds mine all the way home. 

He Leadeth Me

He leadeth me, O blessed thought!   —   O words with heav’nly comfort fraught!  —  Whate’er I do, where’er I be  —  Still ’tis God’s hand that leadeth me.

CHORUS:

He leadeth me, He leadeth me,   —    By His own hand He leadeth me;  —  His faithful foll’wer I would be,  —  For by His hand He leadeth me.

Sometimes ’mid scenes of deepest gloom,    —    Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom,    —    By waters still, o’er troubled sea,    —    Still ’tis His hand that leadeth me.

Lord, I would place my hand in Thine,    —    Nor ever murmur nor repine;    —    Content, whatever lot I see,   —    Since ’tis my God that leadeth me.

And when my task on earth is done,  —  When by Thy grace the vict’ry’s won,  —  E’en death’s cold wave I will not flee,  —  Since God through Jordan leadeth me.

What A Day That Will Be

Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

For the weary believer, lift up your head. There is hope. 

Life is going to get better. 

What A Day That Will Be

________________________

There is coming a day — When no heartaches shall come, — No more clouds in the sky, — No more tears to dim the eye. — All is peace forevermore — On that happy golden shore. — What a day, glorious day that will be.

CHORUS:

What a day that will be — When my Jesus I shall see, — When I look upon His face, — The One who saved me by His grace. — Then He’ll take me by the hand — And lead me through the Promise Land. — What a day, glorious day that will be.

They’ll be no sorrow there, — No more burdens to bear. — No more sickness, no more pain, — No more parting over there. —  And forever I will be — With the One who died for me. — What a day, glorious day that will be.
