Father’s Word becomes flesh

Now living among man

Gentleness of potter’s hands

Fulfilling promised plan

 

Truth found in Savior’s voice

Faithfulness, heaven bound

United as one Body

Traversing common ground

 

Touched by Messiah’s grace

Forgiveness now descends

Chains of sin breaking away

Finding hope, darkness ends

 

Christ’s lesson plans share love

Hillside offers classroom

“Sermon on the Mount” teaches

Sowing faith, seeds shall bloom      

 

Rock of Ages, Jesus Christ

His peace shall never end

Always with man in spirit

Blessing each knee to bend

Our world may better find positive solutions, if we will first show respect and compassion while embracing our differences, in order to discover common ground.

When the tempest rages, in the Rock of Ages I will safely hide.  Though the earth be shaking, and all hearts be quaking, Christ is at my side.

From Psalm 61:1-3:  “Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer.  From the end of the earth I call to You, when my heart is faint.  Lead me to the rock that is higher than I, for You are my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy.”

Johann Franck (1618-1677) was a German public official and lawyer.  However, he was best remembered as a poet and writer of hymns.

Answered prayer is the interchange of love between the Father and His child.

From 2 Chronicles 7:12-15:  “Then the Lord appeared to Solomon in the night and said to him, ‘I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice.  When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain or command the locust to devour the land or send pestilence among My people, if My people who are called by My name humble themselves, pray, seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.   Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer that is made in this place.'”

Andrew Murray (1828-1917) was a South African Christian pastor, writer, and teacher.  He believed that Christians should always place a great emphasis on maintaining a rich, personal devotional life.

From Hebrews 10:22:  “Let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.”

Accepting Christ as Savior

Truth filling with His light

His blood pays for each sin

Mercy enriched, forthright

 

Witnessing wholeness of faith

Christ’s righteousness, must trust

Prayer’s voice guides changes

Victory over evil’s lust

 

Experiencing healing

Now taking deeper breaths

Christ offers lasting hope

Triumph rising from death

 

Encouraging each other

Horizon’s promised fate

From Gospel’s saving grace

Forgiveness offers clean slate

 

Walking in Christ’s light each day

No longer lost, but found

Peace breathes with every step

Faith forever heaven bound

From Hebrews 10:38-39:  “but my righteous one will live by faith.  My soul takes no pleasure in anyone who shrinks back.  But we are not among those who shrink back and so are lost but among those who have faith and so preserve our souls.”
