Beauty is fading

It ends with every line

Every sagging part

Through the ravages of time

.

But Your love Lord Jesus

Wraps me in beauty never gone

For You love me completely, powerfully

Till the end of time

.

Knowledge is fleeting

Updated each new day

Truth is elusive

Hard to grasp before it fades

.

But Your words Lord Jesus

Fill me with wisdom never gainsaid

For You speak powerfully, truthfully

And Your words forever remain

.

Wealth is deceiving

Taking many astray

Their castles to build

That waves of time wash away

.

But Your wealth Lord Jesus

Gives me inheritance unfading

For Your deeds last for eternity

And Your Glory is unending

.

Earthly love in all it’s glory

May be with us all our days

But it cannot resurrect us

Cannot save us from the grave

.

But Your Love Lord Jesus

You give forever freely

Your love raised me from death

To live with You eternally

It was our weaknesses, our sicknesses

That weighed You down

Our diseases, our sorrows

That You bore to Your grave

It was our sins that kept You

Nailed to the cross

So we could die with You on that day

.

You grew up so tender

Like a fresh green shoot

In the dry ground of humanity

You were loving and kind

But we esteemed You not

Did not value Your loving simplicity

.

You were arrested and tried

And we turned our backs to hide

From Your innocent face

To reject Your love and grace

For in our sin we could not bear

Having Your righteousness so near

.

But it was our rebellion, Jesus

That caused You to be pierced

It was our hard sinful hearts

That crushed the life from You

You were whipped for our healing

And beaten so we could be made whole.

.

All of us like wayward sheep

Had wandered far from God

We’d turned our backs on living His way

But Jesus You took our place

On the cross that day

Silently, lovingly bore our sins away

.

Like an executed criminal

You were put in a grave

That a rich man had given

For You on that day

And we thought all was lost

All hope had gone away

.

But the grave could not hold

A sinless One like You

Death could not contain

Your powerful, loving reign

So You rose to life again

To free us from our sins’ chains

.

It was our weaknesses, our sicknesses

That weighed You down

Our diseases, our sorrows

That You bore to Your grave

It was our sins that kept You

Nailed to the cross

But we rose with You on that resurrection day

We rose to new life with You on that resurrection day!

.

Now we live in the fullness

Of Your resurrection life

Your holiness, Your lovingness

Our new empowering might

For Your indwelling powerful Spirit

Gives us Your Your eternal life

My heart was stubborn and stony

Living my life for me only

I struggled to love

Struggled to give

In Your love Lord Jesus

I could not live

.

But You gave me a new heart

Took away the old

A tender, responsive heart

So I’m no longer cold

Your law of love

Is now central to my heart

The power to live it

Your Holy Spirit imparts

.

My spirit was broken

Damaged by sin

With no strength to love

No desire to let You in

In Your presence Lord Jesus

I could not live

.

But You gave me a new spirit

Took away the old

A spirit joined to Yours

In Your strength made bold

Your law of love

Now governs my life

Your Holy Spirit’s Presence

Love, joy and peace imparts.

Jesus I thank You

Now I’m made new

Jesus I praise You

You’ve remade me like You!

Ezekiel 36:26-27 NLT “And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart. And I will put my Spirit in you so that you will follow my decrees and be careful to obey my regulations.”

Jeremiah 31:33 NLT ““But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel after those days,” says the Lord. “I will put my instructions deep within them, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.”

When I had strayed far from Your side

To live my life without Your guide

You sent Your Son, Your precious one

To give His life to bring me home

.

And You clothed me in Your rainbow robe

And gave me a ring, my sonship to seal

You gave me the shoes of the gospel of peace

You clothed me in Your Glory!

.

Day by day You stood at the road

Looking to see if I had returned

And when You saw me from afar

You ran to greet me, my loving Father

.

And You clothed me in Your rainbow robe

And gave me a ring, my sonship to seal

You gave me the shoes of the gospel of peace

You clothed me in Your Glory!

My resurrection from death to life

My return to live by Your side

And You clothed me in Your rainbow robe

And gave me a ring, my sonship to seal

You clothed me in Your Glory!

You remind me I live by Your side as Your son

All that’s Yours is mine because we are One

A meditation on

Ephesians 1:3 (TPT) “Every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm has already been lavished upon us as a love gift from our wonderful heavenly Father, the Father of our Lord Jesus—all because he sees us wrapped into Christ. This is why we celebrate him with all our hearts!”
