I stood before the cross today
I knew my sins were washed away
And as I took the bread and wine
I was overawed by the love divine
That came down to earth for me.
Then as I looked up to the heaven’s blue
The sun came out, warming me through
I felt God’s love hugging me tight
I know everything will be all right.
The declaration of imputation
Is the only means of my salvation
For when Jesus died, crucified
All my sins, in a sense, died too
And as they were all imputed to Him
There’s nothing left for me to do.
My sins were transferred to the Son of God
And His righteousness to me
So that I am reconciled to God
Have new life for eternity.
Now because of this wonderful exchange
I’m accepted and approved by the Father
Standing before Him holy and complete
I fall down in worship at His feet
For His love, grace and mercy have set me free
From sin, to love Him in return for eternity.
2 Corinthians 5:21
Come home
Come home to love
To forgiveness
To victory.
Come home to God
To Father
He waits
Arms outstretched
To embrace you
Welcome you back
Pour blessings upon you.
Come home
Enjoy all Father God
Has promised for you
Come home.
Your sense of worth must never be based
On how you look or what you do
Nor on the opinions and actions of others
Nor on how they sometimes treat you.
Your worth to God is incalculable
He proved it by sending His Son
To die on a cross to pay the price
For every wrong you’ve ever done.
So look in the mirror and tell yourself
You are special and precious to God
For by His great love and grace for you
You’re redeemed by His Son’s precious blood.
You can now stand before Almighty God
Unashamed, knowing all is forgiven
For there’s nothing that Christ’s blood cannot cleanse
You’re justified and now fit for heaven.
Yesterday
Unexpectedly
A baby came to stay
I wasn’t sure why it had come
But it wouldn’t go away.
I held it, nursed it; fed it too
And the tiny baby grew and grew
Until one day I actually found
I could no longer carry it around
The name of the baby – Grudge
I decided to go and see the one
From where the baby came
Told them I wanted to forgive
That really I could no longer live
With this baby to carry around.
All was forgiven.
I needn’t have feared
And Baby Grudge just disappeared
As quickly as he had come.
Colossians 3:13
