How deep

I was looking through some old posts on a blog that I follow and I came across a post with the words from the song, How deep the Father's love for us. I love this song and I hope this song brings you love, peace, and comfort in knowing how much God loves all of his children. May you also meditate on the scripture I have on the bottom of this post, John 3:16.

Here are the lyrics. Enjoy.

 



How deep the Father's love for us,
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure

 How great the pain of searing loss,
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One,
Bring many sons to glory

 Behold the Man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice,
Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that left Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
(REPEAT)

 

 

"For God so Loved the world, that He gave his one and only son that whoever believes in him, shall not perish, but have eternal life"

John 3:16 

Here I Am...

As I was leaving school this afternoon, this song just come to my head. I don't know why, it just did.

Here are the lyrics for the song, Here I am to worship.

Enjoy!

Light of the World
You stepped down into darkness
Opened my eyes
Let me see
Beauty that made
This heart adore You
Hope of a life
Spent with You

Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me

King of all days
Oh so highly exalted
Glorious in Heaven above
Humbly You came
To the earth You created
All for love's sake became poor

Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me
I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross

Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me
Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me

The Christmas Shoes

I meant to post a christmas song everyday but you know how life happens. We forget, get busy, or just dont feel like it. I hope you enjoy this song by Newsong.

I can't listen to this without getting teary eyed.

There is a movie based off of this song and there is a book of the same title, The Christmas Shoes, written by Donna Vanliere. The movie is based off of the book as well. The movie has Rob Lowe and Kimberly Williams-Paisely.

Enjoy!

God Bless,
Jennifer

Christmastime

In the nexf few days leading up to christmas I will be posting my favorite christmas carols and songs.

This first song is Christmastime sung by Michael W. Smith. This song has special meaning to me because when I was in the childrens choir at my church we would sing this song and the pastor, Larry Pitcher, who my church misses dearly since he retired in April, would play his trumpet. It was amazing and I miss it.

Watch this video and please tell me what you think.

Enjoy.

It's beginning to look alot like christmas

I'm sure you all know that famous christmas carol by Johnny Mathis.

Well in case you don't I have the lyrics below.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev'rywhere you go; Take a look in the five and ten glistening once again With candy canes and silver lanes aglow. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Toys in ev'ry store But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be On your own front door.

A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots Is the wish of Barney and Ben; Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk Is the hope of Janice and Jen; And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Ev'rywhere you go; There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well, The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas; Soon the bells will start, And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing Right within your heart.

In my neighborhood and around where I live, you can see people decorating their homes. I have started doing a little decorating of my own by putting a wreath on our front door. Within the next few days I will be decorating some more. Rest assurred pictures will be posted.

God Bless you and your families during this holiday season.
