He Came to Die

Leave a reply 
At Christmas time we celebrate
The Birthday of our Lord
Born this day in Bethlehem
A stable His abode

Shepherds came to greet Him
For an angel told them where
They bowed before the little child
While Mary looked on there

He grew and started preaching
Repent for God is nigh
He healed all that would come to Him
He taught them with no lies

His message made the rulers made
The planned to take His life
But He knew all about their plans
The prophets all were right

We celebrate His birth today
And rightfully we should
But more important is the fact
He came to die for you

His purpose from the very start
Was to give His life away
Please don’t forget the price He paid
On this Christmas day


Blood Applied

Leave a reply 
I'm so glad the blood of Christ applies
To every pain and wound in life
I can walk in health each day revived
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

I'm so glad His love has rescued me
From a life of sin and misery
I do not deserve His great mercy
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

Jesus is my Lord and King
He provided everything
On the cross He bled and died
Bore my sin and purchased life
I will lift His name in praise
Every hour of every day
Christ alone, to Him I owe
All my heart and soul

I'm so glad His peace will flood my soul
Every time a worry catches hold
He will calm my fears and make me bold
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

I'm so glad His joy is deep inside
Giving me a hope for future life
I will reign with him from heaven on high
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

Jesus is my Lord and King
He provided everything 
On the cross He bled and died
Bore my sin and purchased life
I will lift His name in praise
Every hour of every day
Christ alone, to Him I owe
All my heart and soul

Only The Blood

Leave a reply 
What can wash away my sin?
The blood of the Lamb 
The blood of the Lamb
What can make me whole again?
Only the blood of the Lamb.

Precious is the blood He shed for me 
As He bled and died on Calvary
I'm so glad He paid the price for me
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain.

Rose again to give eternal life
I'm so glad He is my sacrifice 
Now I'll live with Him and never die
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain

This is all my hope and peace
The blood of the Lamb
The blood of the Lamb
This is all my righteousness 
Only by the blood of the Lamb

Now I know my future is secure 
In His love forever I'll endure 
Every trial and test He has a cure
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

He prepares a future just for me
Every plan is good and brings me peace 
I will reign with Him eternally 
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

He Is Your Sacrifice

I can’t imagine heaven
Beyond what I can read
A paradise unlike
Any that I’ve ever seen
Prepared from the beginning
For those who find the way
And no one knows when Jesus
Will declare “This is the Day”

Way back in the beginning
The Father had a plan
He created all this earth
And then He made a man
But man’s seed became sinful
When he chose to disobey
And God chose Cherubim
To block our access to the way

Many centuries went by
Before a virgin heard the call
The Holy Ghost descended
And His seed produced a child
They named the child Jesus
He was born to save the world
He taught men of the Father
And healed them with His words

He was hated by the leaders
For the people all loved Him
So, the leaders of the day
Decided He they should condemn
They beat and crucified Him
As He hung His blood dripped down
Then He died before they killed Him
And they buried Him in the ground

Before He went He told us
That He was the Way
And that no one came to God
Unless they came through Him by prayer
His blood would cleanse their sins
And bring healing for disease
And because He rose again
He gave us life eternally
 
Those who have accepted Him
Will make heaven their home
We’ll dance upon the streets of gold
Never more to roam
If you have not accepted Him
And His wondrous gift of life
Any not ask Him in today
He is your sacrifice.

Jesus, You’re Amazing

Jesus you're amazing 
You're everything to me
I was dying in my sin
And then you rescued me

Jesus you're amazing 
You're more than life to me
When I gave my life to you
You met my deepest need

My need was not for riches 
Or for power or for fame
My need was not possessions
Or for fleshly gain

My desperate need was cleansing
Deep down into my soul
And when I gave my life to you 
You made me whole

You gave me peace I'd never known
And joy unspeakable 
You gave me faith that truly works 
And grace unmatchable

You gave forgiveness for my sin
And mercy not deserved 
You gave your life so I could live
You taught me how to serve

Jesus you're amazing 
You're everything to me
I was dying in my sin
And then you rescued me

Jesus you're amazing 
You're more than life to me
When I gave my life to you

Jesus Is Dead

Leave a reply 
They pierced His side.  Blood and water poured out
Jesus was dead there was not a doubt

They took His body from an old rugged cross
Laid Him in a tomb and now we are lost

Shut up in a room and hiding in fear
That solders would come and take us away.

He was our teacher and also our friend
We thought He would come as Messiah and King

He healed the sick and He raised the dead
And now we all grieved because Jesus was dead

He taught us truth and to love everyone
He gave us hope in a heaven above

Sadness was present and tears filled our eyes
We were so close when He was alive

And now we all shuddered up in that room
Praying and hoping to escape doom

"What now?" we all asked where can we go?
Jesus is dead and we are alone

What Now?

Leave a reply 
Thursday night was great
As we sat down for a meal
Shared laughter and stories
Enjoyed one another’s company.
Then He broke the bread
As he mildly said
This is my body – take and eat
And he took the cup
And said drink it up
This is my blood shed for you
How can this be?
What does it mean?
A new covenant He brings?
Then we left the room to go and pray
A place where we went day to day
In the darkness of night we walked
And talked of higher purpose
And of love and devotion.
At the garden he prayed
But we could not stay awake
Three times He begged us to pray.
Then soldiers came with torches
They took Him away violently
They pushed us aside like flies
We were stunned, hurt, and confused.
Quickly they judged Him guilty
Quickly they cried Crucify Him
Quickly they beat Him, scarred Him, bruised Him
They made Him carry His cross – such a heavy burden
They nailed Him to it
He cried out, the sky darkened
And then He died.
Gone.
Gone.
What now?
What do I do now?
Where do I go?
What can I say?
In 18 short hours my life is all changed.
What good can come from this?

He Died There For You

Leave a reply 
In the midst of my troubles when all seems so lost
I turn my eyes upward to that man on the cross
He suffered in anguish pain ripped His soul
Despised and rejected the scars took their toll

In one last, deep breath "It is finished" He said
And He gave up His life and was taken for dead
"What was finished" you ask as you look on that tree
"Did the death of one man make a difference to me"

The plan of salvation that God had begun
In the beginning had now been won 
For Jesus took all of our sin on that cross
He gave up His life at a terrible cost

The perfect lamb slain for all of our sin
So that we might find freedom deep down within
Have you knelt at His cross and accepted this truth?
So precious and gracious - he died there for you.
