Fearless



***

'What then shall we say in response to these things?
If God is for us, who can be against us? (v.31)
..Who then is the one who condemns? no one.
Christ Jesus - who died, more than that, 
who was raised to life - is at the right hand of God
and is also interceding for us.(v.34)
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Shall trouble, hardship or persecution or famine
or nakedness or danger or sword?..(v.35)
.. No, In all these things we are more than 
conquerors through Him who loved us. (v.37)

Romans 8:31, 
Romans 34-35, 37

Whom shall I fear?
Chris Tomlin

I know who goes before me 
I know who stands behind
the God of angel armies
is always by my side..

Whom shall I fear?

Clay Pots


Day is Dimming
Brooke Fraser

The day is dimming and I'm yearning for You
I won't be satisfied, till I see your face
every victory, every loss
every tick and every cross
You can put them all in place
It seems I'm finding more of `why`
in these moments
I feel like I'm made to sing of how good You are
The more the years swell by and pass
each second more than the last

It's true by far;

That no profound thought or clever rhyme
no soaring grand melodic line
no theory, philosophy or sign
can explain it 
can explain;
 Where you are, I want to be
It's your love that has changed me
I'd give the world and all its' charms
For a moment in Your arms
Better is one day with You
than a thousand elsewhere
a thousand elsewhere'

***

'The God who said "Out of the darkness the light shall shine!"
Is the same God, who made his light shine in our hearts,
to bring us the knowledge of God's glory shining in the face of Christ.
Yet we who have this spiritual treasure are like common clay pots, 
in order to show that the 
supreme power belongs to God not us'

2 Corinthians 4:6-7
GNT

Mercy



"One thing God has spoken
two things I have heard: 
Power belongs to You, God
and with You, is unfailing love..''
 Psalm 62:11-12
**

``..So powerful and yet so patient,
He could be any kind of King he wanted
..He could quell us .. crush us 
but He doesn't, He comes to us in mercy~
He meets us in mercy
He tempers all that might, to meet us in mercy'
Aaron Keyes

Whisper my Name
Jennifer Napp

 ..So happy to stay, close by your throne
Walking each day, in the glow of your mercy
 So happy to gaze
 upon your face
 for ever more ..

Beauty for Ashes



Nothing is Wasted
Jason Gray

The hurt that broke your heart
that left you trembling in the dark 
feeling lost and alone - will tell you hope's a lie 
But what if every tear you cry, 
will seed the ground -
where joy will grow?

Nothing is wasted, nothing is wasted
in the hands of our redeemer
nothing is wasted..

It's from the deepest wounds, 
 beauty finds a place to bloom
and you will see 
before the end-
that every broken piece 
is gathered in the heart of Jesus
and what's lost will be found again..

Nothing is wasted, nothing is wasted
in the hands of our redeemer, 
nothing is wasted..

From the ruins,  from the ashes
Beauty will rise
From the wreckage,  from the darkness 
Glory will shine
Glory will shine

Nothing is wasted, nothing is wasted
in the hands of our redeemer

Eternity

Taste of Eternity
Belarive

The taste of Eternity is here, on our lips
with every breath we sing
we sing of your majesty, it's here in our midst
with every breath we sing
We sing for eternity it's here on our lips 
Oh how holy! Oh how worthy!
With every breath we sing.. 
For every breath we sing is yours!!
Is yours!!

`She left him and shut the door behind her and her sons.
They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring.
When all the jars were full, she said to her son,
`Bring me another one'
But he replied `There is not a jar left'
Then the oil stopped flowing'

2 Kings 4:5
