A song that has been in my head all week.

I have been thinking about this song all last week and still even today. It just keeps going through my head over and over again. It really goes along great with this past week and all that God showed me. I can now sing it with all my heart and KNOW it is true. I love the last verse. (Oh, to see my name Written in the wounds, For through Your suffering I am free. Death is crushed to death; Life is mine to live, Won through Your selfless love.) May God bless you all. Gal. 2:20

“The Power Of The Cross”

Oh, to see the dawn Of the darkest day: Christ on the road to Calvary. Tried by sinful men, Torn and beaten, then Nailed to a cross of wood.

CHORUS: This, the pow’r of the cross: Christ became sin for us; Took the blame, bore the wrath— We stand forgiven at the cross.

Oh, to see the pain Written on Your face, Bearing the awesome weight of sin. Ev’ry bitter thought, Ev’ry evil deed Crowning Your bloodstained brow.

Now the daylight flees; Now the ground beneath Quakes as its Maker bows His head. Curtain torn in two, Dead are raised to life; “Finished!” the vict’ry cry.

Oh, to see my name Written in the wounds, For through Your suffering I am free. Death is crushed to death; Life is mine to live, Won through Your selfless love.

FINAL CHORUS: This, the pow’r of the cross: Son of God—slain for us. What a love! What a cost! We stand forgiven at the cross.

Victory we DO have in Christ…..

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.  Gal. 2:20

I heard one of the best messages of this verse last night. If Christians could just apply this TRUTH in their lives….what a life of victory they would live. The Christian life is hard….and we can not do it within ourself…..BUT with Christ in us and work through us we can have that victory in our lives. It is no longer us living, but Christ in us. This is when I love to put the verse in “Phil. 4:13  I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” and then one that I can not leave out would be  “2 Cor. 12:9  But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon”. I hope this will be an encouragement to your hearts. God Bless!

Thoughts……..

I am sitting here at the REV coffee shop. I am working on school stuff and thinking about all that I want to write about. God has really been working in my life in the past three weeks, and I want to somehow share it with you all. We are having revival at our church this week and I know I am going to have even more to share from that. I would love to hear from you guys…..your comments are welcome.   Here are two verses from Psalms 139:23-24 that I have really been holding close to my heart….asking the Lord to show me his ways and not my own.

Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts!
And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting! ~ Ps. 139:23-24

More to come soon!
