Fruit

The Maker

Chris August

I see You in the sunrise

I see You in the rain

I see You in the laughter

I feel You through the pain

Everything that You have made is beautiful

Oh, My God, I can't believe my eyes

But in all of this,  

to think that You would think of me

Makes my heart come alive!!

`Yes, I am the vine;
you are the branches.
Those who remain in Me, and I in them,
will produce much fruit. 
For apart from Me you can do nothing.`

John 14:5
NLT

***

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess,
for He who promised is faithful.

There was a man there named Zacchaeus... (vs.2)

He tried to get a look at Jesus, but he was too short to see over the crowd.

So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree beside the road, 

for Jesus was going to pass that way.

When Jesus came by, He looked up at Zacchaeus and called him by name.

"Zacchaeus, come down! I must be a guest in your home today."

Zacchaeus quickly came down and took Jesus to his house, 

in great excitement and joy. 

But the people were displeased 

"He has gone to be the guest of a notorious sinner" they grumbled (vs.3-7)

..Jesus responded `..The son of man came to seek and save those who are lost` (vs.10)

Luke 19:2,3-7,10

Your Grace, Your mercy

Need to Breathe

(More Heart,Less Attack)

..I stuck my hat out

I caught the rain drops

I drank the water

I felt my veins n'block

I'm near the sanctified,  I'm near the broken

I'm down the river,  I'm near the open

..I'm down the river

to where I'm going..

Glow

Suddenly their eyes were opened and they recognised Him

and at that moment He disappeared. 

They said to each other, `Didn't our hearts burn within us as He talked

with us on the road and opened the scriptures to us?'

Luke 24;31-32

... Quite a change

somewhere we had crossed a big line

down upon our knees we had tasted Holy wine

and no one could sway us 

in a life time

Purer than the sky behind the rain

Love had lit a fire we were the flame

Falling down all around us 

Calling out from a boundless love

..Burning into the darkness

Shining out from inside of us

..no one had to say we had changed

nothing else we'd live through would ever be the same

knowing the truth we'd gained..

Purer than the sky behind the rain

love has lit a fire 

we are the flame..

Impression

We love, because He first loved us.

`God is Love

Therefore love;

without distinction, without calculation, without procrastination,

love'
