My Savior unto Thee
[Sung to the tune of “My Country ‘tis of Thee”]
My Savior unto thee,
Give I my heart to free,
To thee I cling.
Lord who for me has died,
Pierced ‘twas his wounded side.
Ever in him abide.
Of thee I sing.
Let’s Open Our Hearts to the Father
Let’s open our hearts to the Father,
Let’s sing with a fervor and love,
Let’s put aside each fear and bother,
Let’s bask in His grace from above.
Rodgers and Hammerstein put it well with:
“Oh, what a beautiful mornin’
Oh, what a beautiful day
I’ve got a beautiful feelin’
Everything’s goin’ my way.”
God invented the morning! It is a fresh start every 24-hour period.
Many Christians are concerned about what they do in life. That is reasonable. But I’m learning how important it is to “not do” things.
Being FREE in Christ, we can love ANYONE with God’s love.
God wants us to walk in light and not to stumble. God’s wisdom is sound and shows us how to walk safely.
Keeping our hearts right,
Now I’ve lived some years
And still each day I find
That through my pain and tears
The Lord is always kind.
There’s healing when I’m hurt,
There’s rest when I can’t go,
Though dazed or quite alert,
He helps me, high or low.
So my advice is this,
If peace and grace you need,
Is keep your heart in His,
And follow God’s sure lead.
The Bible speaks of “children’s children” or grandchildren. What do grandparents have to do with their grandchildren’s lives and godly behavior? A great deal. God’s mercy lasts forever and our grandchildren can be righteous. Keeping God’s Word ourselves and then raising our own children so they teach their children in the scriptures is a key to seeing God’s grace and mercy in our families. We want our grandchildren to learn, remember, and do our Father’s commandments. As we taught our son, “Listen, Remember, Obey.”
There are many ideas about how to be a good parent as a Christian believer. Paul’s letter to the Ephesian church has some great principles we can follow to be like our heavenly Father when we raise our own children.
What are the great moments of life? Fellowship with God and His Son are the key to joyous times [1 John 1:3,4].
