Jesus,
The great red dawning that rises over the mountains of all eternity.
The shining bridge of stars that arches up and up and gives us a path from earth into heaven’s throne room.
To our ship, battered in a storm He is the lighthouse.
He brings the message of eternity to us over the vast gulf of time.
He is the well of our hope.
He is the reason our hope endures.
He has brought us so much more than the happiness we might wish for.
He has stretched out His arms in humility so that
the gap between us and a Holy God could be bridged.
He was the lamb without blemish, sacrificed for our transgressions, once and for all.
Without Him we would be forever caught in the futility of ever striving and never arriving.
Without Him there would be no light, only darkness.
Without His unfailing love there would be NO HOPE.
Let us Praise Him,
Let us bow down before Him in eternal gratitude and awe.
In the Beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, He was with God in the beginning.
He, who being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God
something to be grasped,
but made Himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness..
..he humbled Himself
and became obedient to death,
even death on a cross!
Let us Praise Him and Worship Him,
Let us come before Him with thankfulness in our hearts.
Because we are the people walking in darkness,
who have seen a great light.
We rejoice in you, oh Lord and Saviour,
Oh Father of the fatherless,
Oh Lover of the souls of all the lonely and rejected.
We love You because You first loved us...
You considered us worth dying for
even while we were still your enemies,
dead in our transgressions.
Let us Praise You, Jesus,
Lord of Lords
and King of Kings
Brother and Friend,
You are worthy of our Praise
Both now and forever more!!!
