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

For My Sin

Leave a reply 
Brought before the judgment hall
Though He just did good
Persecuted false was He
Condemned for my sin

Beaten within one last breath
Wore a crown of thorns
Spit and kicked upon was He
Bruised for all my sin

Carried His own cross of death
Fell beneath it's weight
Nailed through hands and feet was He
Suffered for my sin

Given vinegar to drink
Sword pierced through His side
Hanging there for me was He
Dying for my sin

High and lifted up was He
High above the ground
Hanging on a cross was He
Taking all my sin

He gave His own life away
To purchase life for me
Placed in borrowed tomb was He
Buried for my sin.

I will lift my voice to Him
And give Him all my praise
For He did all of this for me
I will praise His name

He Is Your Sacrifice

Leave a reply 
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.

No Contest

I sit and wonder why, Lord
Do people not choose thee
When they hear you've paid the price
From sin to set them free

Down here they feel so happy 
And they think it's the best
But if they just choose you today. 
They would be richly blessed

In this life they party 
Thinking all of life's a game
If you would fill them with your joy 
They'd never be the same

And when the party's over 
And the happiness is gone 
They sit their all alone and wonder 
When some peace will come

But I can tell them truly 
That the peace that Jesus gives
Will permeate  their soul each day
As long as they shall live

You ask me how I know these things 
So I'll tell you here and now
'Twas not that long ago my friend
That I refused to bow

I loved the party life at night 
But hated waking up
My mind was filled with torment 
My thoughts were so corrupt

It took at least 10 times 
For me to head His call
But when I did, He kept His word
And gave to me His all

He blesses me each day
With His presence,  oh so sweet
He fills my heart with joy
Happiness just can't compete

His peace is so remarkable 
It soothes me every day
And His love is unforgettable
He walks along my way

But most of all His mercy
Is always reaching me
And His grace is so amazing
As it works to keep me free

You see it really is no contest
What the best life is
So why not turn your life around
And make your heart be His.

What A Loss

Jesus, King of Kings. Jesus, Lord of Lords
It is you that we adore. 
Jesus Lamb of God sent to save the world
Guide us daily by your word

Left your throne in heaven to be born in a manger
Wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid amid the hay 
Shepherd's came to worship, wise men bearing gifts
All because a star showed them the way

You grew up as a carpenter like any other boy
Knowing that your destiny would lead you to a cross
Filled with grown up wisdom even as a boy of twelve
Your parents only guessed at what your life would cost

Baptized in the Jordan, doves descend from heaven
Landing on you, standing there as meek as a lamb
Others hear a voice saying this is my son
Having no idea you are the great I AM.

You walked throughout the land healing as you went
Every man and child you touched was changed
Raising up the dead, feeding many thousands
Sending devils running as they called your name

But leaders didn't know you had come to save the world
Your power and authority they could not understand
So they conspired against you and turned the crowds away
After trials you heard "crucify him" all across the land

Whipped and beaten, crown of thorns laid upon your head
Through the streets you had to carry your own cross
Nails thru feet and hands, they hung you between two thieves
They hung you there to die, oh what a loss

You laid in the tomb as disciples wept on sorrow
Women came with spices to anoint the dead
But you arose in splendor, majesty and power
And gave us all the hope of a future in heaven

Jesus, King of Kings. Jesus, Lord of Lords
It is you that we adore. 
Jesus Lamb of God sent to save the world
Guide us daily by your word

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

Jesus, You’re Amazing

Leave a reply 
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
You met my deepest need
