The Father And The Son

The father and the son

No sweeter sound than his blessed name … Jesus
Our alpha and Omega are first and last
The miracle worker healer and riser of the Dead
Our blessed King of Kings advocate unsurpassed

Are a lion of Judah are lamb of God
Glorious Lord Prince of Peace most high and praised
Are Redeemer Shepherd of the flock and savior
Who got sent from mankind to be saved

He said come to me and I will give you rest
One day all the old shall pass away
No more pain death crying or morning
The armor of God has cast all fears astray

There is eternal life for those who believe in him
A beautiful mansion prepared in the heavens for us in faith… above
There is a peace and kindness that this world will never offer
Waiting within our holy Spirit a God of perfect love

Untying Knots

Most of us had a hard time learning to tie our shoes. Tightening shoes by wrapping strings together? Nothing easy about that. Who came up with the idea of shoes anyway?

My friend Roy used to sit on a park bench watching kids gather and play at the bus stop. One day a little fellow struggled to board the bus, frantically trying to disentangle a knotted shoestring. He grew more anxious by the moment. All of a sudden it was too late. The bus door closed. With tear-filled eyes he looked at Roy on the bench and asked, “Do you untie knots?”

We never outgrow the urge to look up and say, “Help!” And when we do, who shows up? Jesus, our next-door Savior. Go ahead, ask him: “Do you untie knots?” “Yes,” he will say.

As We Behold Him

2 Corinthians 3:18 says, “We all with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being changed into his likeness…” As we behold him, we become like him.

It’s a principle I experienced first-hand when an opera singer visited our church. He sat right behind me. He tried to contain himself, but how can a tuba hide in a room of piccolos? I was startled. Inspired. Emboldened by his volume. I lifted mine. Did I sing better? No. But did I try harder? No doubt. His power brought the best of me.

Could your world use a little music? If so, invite heaven’s baritone—Jesus Christ—to cut loose. Who knows? A few songs with him might change the way you sing!
