Thank You, Lord

I was reading Isaiah 53 and rekindled God’s overwhelming love for me –His ultimate sacrifice. The same night, I listened to this beautiful song. I can’t thank Him enough.

Thank You, Lord
Words and Music by Dennis Jernigan

For all that You’ve done, I will thank You
For all that You’re going to do
For all that You’ve promised
And all that You are
Is all that has carried me through
Jesus I thank You.

And I thank You
Thank You Lord.
And I thank You
Thank you Lord.

Thank You for loving and setting me free
Thank You for giving Your Life just for me
How I thank You
Jesus, I thank You
Gratefully thank You
Thank You.

Isaiah 53
ESV

1 Who has believed what they heard from us?
And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2 For he grew up before him like a young plant,
and like a root out of dry ground;
he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
and no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by men;
a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief;
and as one from whom men hide their faces
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned every one to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
yet he opened not his mouth;
like a lamb that is led to the slaughter,
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he opened not his mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away;
and as for his generation, who considered
that he was cut off out of the land of the living,
stricken for the transgression of my people?
9 And they made his grave with the wicked
and with a rich man in his death,
although he had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him;
he has put him to grief;
when his soul makes an offering for sin,
he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days;
the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied;
by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant,
make many to be accounted righteous,
and he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many,
and he shall divide the spoil with the strong,
because he poured out his soul to death
and was numbered with the transgressors;
yet he bore the sin of many,
and makes intercession for the transgressors.

QUOTES

I have a few quotes learned the last few days. Let me post them here.

SMILE
A smile is a language even a baby understands
It costs nothing but it credits much
It happens in a flash but the memory of it may last forever
Keep smiling.


~ I love the third line. There’s one particular smile I kept in my heart. My mother’s.

BEER
Jesus highly recommends BEER everyday
Bible reading
Effective prayer
Evangelism
Repentance
Go and spread the BEER…Cheers!


~ Very candid way of saying...”Live the life!”

~ And something to ponder upon…

LET GO
When you know things are not meant for you, learn to let it go.
It doesn’t mean you’re weak
but you’re just showing how strong you are
to fight the urge of wanting something you’re not supposed to have.

worship

Purihin Ka O,Dios
Purihin Ka O, Dios
Sinasamba Ka namin
Sa Iyong paanan
Kabanal-banalan
Dios ng lahat.


Praise You O, Lord
Praise You O, Lord
We worship you
At your footstool
Most Holy
God of all.


That song is as old as I am, I guess. Still, it's solemn and beautiful.

To the Ends of the Earth

Hillsong

Love unfailing
Overtaking my heart
You take me in
Finding peace again
Fear is lost in all You are

And I would give the world to tell You're story
Cause I know that You've called me
I know that You've called me
I've lost myself for good within Your promise
I won't hide it
I won't hide it

Jesus, I believe in You
And I would go to the ends of the earth
To the ends of the earth
For You alone are the Son of God
And all the world will see
That You are God
You are God.


Awesome song. ^^

Now That You're Near

Artist - Hillsong United

(verse 1)
I stand before You, Lord
And give You all my praise
Your love is all I need
Jesus, You're all I need

(verse 2)
My life belongs to You
You gave Your life for me
Your grace is all I need
Jesus, You're all I need

(pre chorus)
Hold me in Your arms
Never let me go
I wanna spend eternity with You

(chorus)
And now that You're near
Everything is different
Everything's so different, Lord
And I know I'm not the same
My life You've changed
And I wanna be with You
I wanna be with You

(bridge)
And I will sing for You always
'Cause in Your presence God is where I wanna stay


My personal favorite. ^^
