songs

The Bible talks about us worshiping our Lord in song.

The Lord will often place a worship song on my heart and the

lyrics will play over and over in my mind.

Tonight when I came across these photos from Easter,

the song Because He Lives came to my mind.

 

God sent His son, they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal, and forgive.
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.

How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives.
But greater still the calm assurance,
This child can face uncertain days because He lives.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.

And then one day I'll cross the river,
I'll fight life's final war with pain.
And then as death gives way to victory,
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone!
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives!

During my “quiet time” this morning the following song was placed upon my heart. . .

On Christ The Solid Rock I Stand

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly trust in Jesus' Name.

Chorus:
On Christ the solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil.

Chorus:
On Christ the solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand.

His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my Hope and Stay.

Chorus:
On Christ the solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand.

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.

Chorus:
On Christ the solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand.

The Gospel song, "On Christ, The Solid Rock I Stand" is also known as

"My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less".

This song was written by Edward Mote in 1834.

The Lord speaks to us through song.

May my ears be open to hear what He wants to tell me through song.

Thursday Blessings,
