Good morning
Has it been a long night?
Maybe been a long year, maybe been a hard life
Maybe you're not alright
If you got a little red in your eyes
You've come to the
right place
People like you, people like me
This is where we all find grace
Come on now
Bet you'll wanna sing hallelujah,
bet you'll say an amen
Can't help but celebrate being born again
Somebody who loves you, is waiting at the door
It's home sweet home here in the house of the Lord
Take a load off
You're about to find your rest
It's a crazy world out there, got some hope right here
Out of the wilderness
If you're needing water for your soul
Well, you're in the right place
Doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, whoever you are
This is where we all find grace
Come on now
Bet you'll wanna sing hallelujah, bet you'll say an amen
Can't help but celebrate being born again
Somebody who loves you is waiting at the door
It's home sweet home here in the house of the Lord
Bring your heartache, bring your burden
You can lay them down at the door
There is no fear, you belong here
Step into the house of the Lord
Bring your heartache, bring your burden
You can lay them down
at the door
Ain't it so clear, you belong here?
Step into the house of the Lord (hallelujah)
Bet you'll wanna sing hallelujah, bet you'll say
an amen
Can't help but celebrate being born again
Somebody who loves you
is
waiting at the door
It's home sweet home here in the house of the Lord
Bring your heartache, bring your burden
You can lay them down at the door
There is no fear, you belong here
Step into
The house of the Lord
As believers, we are shown throughout
scripture
just how deep our Father's love is for us.
For I am sure that neither death nor life,
nor angels nor rulers,
nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,
nor height nor depth, nor anything else
in all creation,
will be able to separate us from
The love of God
in Christ Jesus our Lord
(Romans 8:38-39)
From creation to the cross and beyond we see
time and time again how
he desires a genuine relationship with us.
I will never be worthy enough to approach the throne,
none of us will.
We are all broken and fallen sinners saved
only by the blood of Jesus
It is such a comfort to know that I don't have to get into heaven
on my own merit because if that were the case,
I would never make it there!
What a precious and unfathomable gift we have
in the sacrifice of our Savior!
Our heavenly Father
doesn't want or need us to be a certain way
before we seek him;
he wants us to bring our broken messes and
lay them
at the foot of the cross.
More than that though, he wants to take those broken messes
from us and give us rest
My grace
is sufficient for you,
for my
power is made perfect in weakness
Therefore I will boast all the more gladly
about my weaknesses, so that
Christ’s power may rest on me"
That's Good News, people!
Israel was tossed around into a LOT of
spiritual battles, brought low, just
to sprout up again
in the twinkling of an eye.
Like a rollercoaster, or better yet, a lot like the
Jolty turns of The Jordan!
Christ-
Works on his terms and in his time.
There's not much of a turn signal when
Jesus comes
to show his work and reveal
his
power and glory
