Grace Upon Grace

Jesus willingly sacrificed His life;

He did it all for my sake.

My life in exchanged for His death,

As He took my place.

It was I, Lord,

Who needed His grace.

On that day, through death,

My life was liberated.

I can only imagine the cost of the life slayed,

The brutality and hatred displayed.

It was all for me, Lord,

The weight of the cross,

The burden upon His shoulder blades,

A true testament to His strength and grace.

The blood that streamed down his brow

to cover the purity of His face.

With every step,

His weary feet managed to take.

It was all for me, Lord—

Grace upon Grace.

-Jesus, I Believe-

Jesus, I believe...
This blessed hope between You and me

Will comfort me in times of need.
This same hope will stand by my side

To warn off the weapons of my enemies.

Jesus, I believe ...

In the power of Your name,

The simplicity of peace it brings,

The perfect love it creates,

And the joy that radiates.

I trust in the journey of this Christian

faith, in the sanctity of Your merciful grace,
And in the hope of Redemption Day.

Blessed is Your Holy Name when

spoken aloud in majestic praise.
Blessed are those who believe, for they
shall live out eternity.
Blessed are those who believe in the

Trinity's Three: The Father, the Son,

and the Holy Spirit, In the sovereign name

of Jesus Christ, Our Savior and King.

Jesus Christ, the giver of peace and the creator of all things.

For the breath of life you gave.

This is my prayer, Lord,

As we wait for the dawning of a new day.

ONE MOMENT WITH GOD

1 Chronicles 16:11 - Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His presence continually!

I took a moment today to fully appreciate

the beauty of God's creation and space.

Every intricate detail, from the gentle touch of

the sun's rays to the coolness of the air I breathe.

The chirping of the birds, the crawling of creatures,

and the vegetation springing from the earth's deep.

It was a perfect reminder of His love for me.

The magnificence of God's creation and design is

deserving of praise throughout our lifetime.

I am amazed by the captivating beauty

of the morning dew that rests atop the grass.

The power of the human mind which thinks

about the future, lives in the present,

and remembers the past.

Compelled by the realization:

I lift my hands held high to praise aloud.

To God be the glory, O' holy divine.

I gave thanks for the wondrous things I saw.

I took paused to appreciate the wonder of it all.

In meekness, I express gratitude in obedience

for answering His call.

utterance of gratitude

Lord,

How can I express gratitude for the gift You bestowed?
For the humble heart that Your grace has clothed.

You healed my brokenness and veiled my shame.
Thank you, Father, for the soft whisper, the call of my name.
Engraved in the Lamb's Book of Life.
A seal imprinted with the armor of protection,
And the promise ring of everlasting life.

Lord, You have redeemed me with Your Holy Spirit.
Purposefully positioned within the Body of Christ.
Guiding my steps with precision as I tread this Christian life.

Who else but You, Lord, could better direct my path?

You are everything to me, my night and my day.

The source of life, the breath in every inhalation I take.

Lord,
I shall keep my heart humble and offer you earnest praise,
To express my gratitude for the life you have so graciously saved.

Because of Thee

You granted me eternal life out of love with a single spoken word.

You have allotted me all I need for a life so complete.

I am who I am because of thee, I am no less, no more.

I owe everything to you and am content with the life you have given me.

You are the reason for my existence.

You are my shining star deserving worship from the heart.

My heart, soul, and everything I have belongs to you, Lord.

Because of thee, I am at peace and truly free.

A Blessed Life...

Is to understand that the foundation of wisdom stems from fearing thee.

Living the “Good Life” is to serve and acknowledge you in everything.

I give reverence and commitment to thy law and in the presence of your

greatness, I am still in awe.

Dear Lord,

You are my center, my life scale, without you, I am lost and off-balance.

I am like a condemned man that's ingested by malice.

Your love and grace keep me centered and free from negativity.

I am grateful for all that you have done for me. You are my entirety;

You are the joy my silent thoughts bring.

You are the morning and nightly praises that my heart sings.

Because of thee,

I’m no longer a slave to fear but a warrior of the Heavenly King.

There is power and strength in the mention of your holy name.

The lost, the broken, and the hopeless are restored once again.

Great and Majesty is thy name, Jesus! my heart proclaims.

The melody of my soul sings your name, Jesus! the name above all names.

Because of thee,

I am simply grateful to be me, a creation of the Almighty King.…
