We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

The gospel says, “Your shame is real, even more real than you know. But this is what God has done. He put it all onto Christ at the cross, where your Substitute was utterly shamed and exposed and condemned for you. Now your shame no longer defines you. What defines you, what reveals your future forever, is this word: ';adorned' [Rev. 21:2]. Not shamed. Adorned. Lovely. Attractive. And the moment is coming when He will look into your eyes with glad adoration, and you will look into His eyes with confident surrender. And nothing will ever, ever spoil it again.”

Until That Final Day

My flesh is tired of seeking god,
But on my knees I’ll stay.
I want to be a pleasing child,
Until that final day.

My mind is full of many thoughts
That clutter and confuse.
But standing firm, I will prevail,
In faith that I’ll be used.

Amen! I’m asking once again.
Won’t you help me my friend, lord jesus.
Holy lord spirit, set us free,
From chains we cannot see,
Come release us.

I wrestle not with flesh and blood,
My fight is with the one,
Who lost the keys of hell and death,
To god’s most precious son.

One sleepless night of anguished prayer,
I triumphed over sin.
One battle in the holy war,
God’s promised me to win.

Amen! I’m asking once again.
Won’t you help me my friend, lord jesus.
Holy, lord spirit, set us free,
From chains we cannot see,
Come release us.

My flesh is tired of seeking god,
But on my knees I’ll stay.
I want to be a pleasing child,
Until that final day.
