Before the Throne of God Above

Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea:
A great High Priest, whose name is Love,
Who ever lives and pleads for me.

My name is graven on His hands,
My name is written on His heart;
I know that while in heaven He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart
No tongue can bid me thence depart.

When Satan tempts me to despair,
And tells me of the guilt within,
Upward I look, and see Him there
Who made an end of all my sin.

Because the sinless Savior died,
My sinful soul is counted free;
For God, the Just, is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me
To look on Him and pardon me

Behold him there, the risen Lamb
My perfect, spotless righteousness,
The great unchangeable I am,
The King of glory and of grace!

One with Himself, I cannot die
My soul is purchased by His blood
My life is hid with Christ on high,
With Christ, my Savior and my God
With Christ, my Savior and my God

Lead Me to The Rock

Hear my cry O Lord, attend unto my prayer
From the end of the earth will I cry out to Thee.

For Thou hast been a shelter for me
and a strong tower, from the enemy.

When my heart is overwhelmed,
Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I
That is higher than I.

Heart

“When you pray, rather let your heart be without words then your words without heart." -John Bunyan

Have Pity

Please have pity on my sword; if you don't stop shouting you'll frighten it out of its scabbard -Edmond Rostland, Cyrano de Bergerac

Apples

"Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn't going to get the job done." -- Jim Rohn

You're Here! Congratulations!

"Statistically, the probability of any one of us being here is so small that the mere fact of our existence should keep us all in a state of contented dazzlement."

Time
