God’s Gifts of Grace

Today is 5/5. The number 5 in the Bible often refers to God’s grace. That’s His constant giving to us in love, no matter how we respond. Our loving Father is a great Giver. One of the greatest lessons we can learn in life is to RECEIVE His love and gifts with a thankful heart.

O Sing My Heart within Me

Here is a new hymn for a new day to rejoice in.

O sing my heart within me,
Let loose a song of love,
Rejoice in all before thee,
His boundless life of love.
O may our hearts before Him,
In thankfulness resound.
That every voice now present
In His sweet grace be found.

O sing with joyful gladness,
For now the price is paid.
Sin’s cruel reign is over,
And life from death remains.
Yet, ever Satan’s forces
Persist unyieldingly,
And tho’ our foe is vanquished,
He mocks Christ’s saving tree.

So what is our endeavor,
When faced with worldly hate?
Christ’s love will ever conquer,
A victory so great!
Forgive as we’re forgiven,
And speak the truth in love.
Keep every thought committed,
For Christ’s strength is enough.

And now on hallowed footsteps,
We live this life of grace,
With mercy and love’s kindness,
Undaunted, challenges face.
What hope gives us endurance,
To quench each fiery dart?
‘Tis Christ’s own spirit in us,
His words within our heart.

So now we look unto him,
And to that glorious day.
With spiritual bodies clothed,
No sorrow, tears remain.
O sing my heart within me,
Let loose a song of love,
Rejoice in all before thee,
This endless life of love.

[Sung to the tune of “O Sacred Head Now Wounded”]

Joseph and Mary: Faithful to God as Parents

Joseph and Mary are another believing example of a married couple who did God’s will. In their lives we see: Mary’s immediate obedience to God, God’s care for Joseph’s concerns, how they obeyed the law they knew to fulfill a prophecy about the Messiah, God encouraging them by other faithful believers, God showing Joseph how to protect and care for his young family, their teaching Jesus the Scriptures so he could grow in God’s grace, and God blessing them with a big family.

A new hymn based on scripture:

God's Grace Jesus Christ

I Cannot But in Wonder

I cannot but in wonder stand
At the cross, its feet,
Hang before me, Son of Man,
Redemption now complete.

 

O what great love in garden spent,
The choice he made for me,
That I in freedom, heaven sent,
Might live eternally.

I cannot hope for earthly fame,
Nor wisdom, wealth, and power.
But I will humbly preach his name,
And praise God every hour.
