~Blessed Beyond Measure~
" Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Heb.11:1
" Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD." Ps.31:24
" By day the LORD directs His love, at night His song is with me—." Ps.42:8
" May those who wait for You not be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of hosts; May those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O GOD of Israel. " PSALM 69:6
BOW THE KNEE
There are moments on our journey following the Lord Where God illumines ev’ry step we take. There are times when circumstances make perfect sense to us, As we try to understand each move He makes. When the path grows dim and our questions have no answers, turn to Him.
Chorus: Bow the knee;
Trust the heart of your Father when the answer goes beyond what you can see. Bow the knee;
Lift your eyes toward heaven and believe the One who holds eternity. And when you don’t understand the purpose of His plan, In the presence of the King, bow the knee.
There are days when clouds surround us, and the rain begins to fall, The cold and lonely winds won’t cease to blow. And there seems to be no reason for the suffering we feel; We are tempted to believe God does not know. When the storms arise, don’t forget we live by faith and not by sight.
HOW DEEP THE FATHER'S LOVE FOR US
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 held Him thereUntil it was accomplishedHis dying breath has brought me lifeI know that it is finished I will not boast in anythingNo gifts, no power, no wisdomBut I will boast in Jesus ChristHis death and resurrection Why should I gain from His reward?I cannot give an answerBut this I know with all my heartHis wounds have paid my ransom Why should I gain from His reward?I cannot give an answerBut this I know with all my heartHis wounds have paid my ransom

KIND AND MERCIFUL GOD
Kind and merciful God, we have sinned in Your sight,
We have all wandered far from Your way;
We have followed desire, we have failed to aspire
To the virtue we ought to display.
Kind and merciful God, we’ve neglected Your Word
And the truth that would guide us aright;
We have lived in the shade of the dark we have made,
When you willed us to walk in the light.
Kind and merciful God, we have broken Your laws
And in conduct have veered from the norm;
We have dreamed of the good, but the good that we could
We have frequently failed to perform.
Kind and merciful God in Christ's death on the cross
You provided a cleansing from sin;
Speak the words that forgive that hence-forth we may live
By the might of your Spirit within.
Kind and merciful God, bid us lift up our heads
And command us to rise from our knees;
May our hearts now be changed and no longer estranged,
