ROMANS 8:37-39

God loves me! Tis the sweetest sound in the world!

No other love can compare to the love of the heavenly father

It means that I am His and His alone that that no matter how the world, my flesh and the devil pull, His love will triumph in the end.

God loves me! Tis music in my ears! It takes away sorrow, doubt and fear. No matter where I walk, His love goes before, beside and behind me.

God loves me! What an awesome privilege! Can I really do anything less than give myself away to Him? All of me? I am His anyway, He made me. Can I rob Him of what is rightfully his?

God loves me! This I must shout from the rooftops and from all places I find myself. I must shout it so that anyone who has never heard or has forgotten the love of God will know and give themselves to Him.

GOD LOVES ME!

PENTECOST

Come down consuming fire

Come fill our hears

Inflame us anew with love

That the Father and Son we may

proclaim: drunk on you

 come down sweet Spirit

transform our lives

transform our hearts

that never more shall we be the same

come down roaring wind

chip away at the rough ends of our lives

that we may be for the Father only

come down consuming fire

burn away at the chaff in our lives

 that we may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness

come down giver of life and gifts

 with all of your gifts

that we may transform the world around us

but transform us, mould us, do all

you have to that our lives

bear fruit for the glory of the Father

(Acts 1:8, Song of Solomon 4:16, Gal 5:22-23, Mal 3:3-4)

HE BROKE ME

(Job 23:10, Mal 3:3-4, Jer 18:6, 1 Pet 1:7, James 1:2, Ps 30:5)

He broke me; He broke me

Like the potter, He moulded me and moulded me again

He broke me; He broke me

Like dough, He kneaded me and kneaded me again

He broke me; He broke me

Like grapes for wine, He crushed me and crushed me again

He broke me; He broke me

Like wood in a carpenter’s shop, He shaped me and shaped me again

He broke me; He broke me

Like gold, in a goldsmith’s shop, He refined me and refined me again

He broke me; He broke me

Like He shows in nature, transformation only comes by death

Jesus died so He could live forever and I with Him

He broke me; He broke me

To make me more like Him

To conform me to His image

To prune me that I may bear fruit

He broke me; He broke me

Through the pain and the tears;

There was joy and fulfillment because He broke me and broke me again to make me whole
