He Lifted Me
He Lifted Me(Click to hear music)Words and Music by Charles H. Gabriel
"For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Titus 3:3-5 In loving kindness Jesus came,
My soul in mercy to reclaim,
And from the depths of sin and shame
Thro' grace He lifted me.
Refrain
From sinking sand, He lifted me,
With tender hand, He lifted me,
From shades of night to planes of light,
O praise His name, He lifted me!
He called me long before I heard,
Before my sinful heart was stirred,
But when I took Him at His Word,
Forgiv'n He lifted me.
Refrain
From sinking sand, He lifted me,
With tender hand, He lifted me,
From shades of night to planes of light,
O praise His name, He lifted me!
His brow was pierced with many a thorn,
His hands by cruel nails were torn,
When from my guilt and grief forlorn,
In love He lifted me.
Refrain
From sinking sand, He lifted me,
With tender hand, He lifted me,
From shades of night to planes of light,
O praise His name, He lifted me!

I Cannot Tell
"We should be always wearing
the garment of praise."
~Andrew Bonar~
.
Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept Thy word. Psalm 119:67 The Psalmist recognized in his suffering God's hand of chastening. He did not question God's goodness, but saw in it the means of his correction. Trials of this life drive us to God's Word for guidance, sustenance, encouragement and rebuke. God never wastes the difficulties of life, instead using them to conform us to Christ's image (Rom. 8:28-29). "For whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth" (Heb. 12:6). --Keith Keyser
We cannot always trace the way,
where Thou our gracious Lord dost move;
But we can always surely say
that God is love.
When clouds hang o'er our darkened path,
we'll check our dread, each doubt reprove;
For here each saint sweet comfort hath,
that God is love.
Sir J. Bowering
 I Cannot Tell(Click to hear music]Psalm 64:10
"The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in Him."
Words by W. Y. Fullerton
Tune Londonderry Air (Traditional Irish Melody) I cannot tell why He, whom angels worship
Should set His love upon the sons of men,
Or why, as Shepherd, He should seek the wanderers
To bring them back, they know not how or when.
But this I know, that He was born of Mary
When Bethlehem's manger was His only home,
And that He lived at Nazareth and labored,
And so the Savior, Savior of the world, is come.
I cannot tell how silently He suffered
As with His peace He graced this place of tears,
Or how His heart upon the cross was broken,
The crown of pain to three and thirty years.
But this I know, He heals the broken hearted
And stays our sin and calms our lurking fear,
And lifts the burden from the heavy laden,
For yet the Savior, Savior of the world, is here.
I cannot tell how He will win the nations,
How He will claim His earthly heritage,
Or satisfy the needs and aspirations
Of east and west, of sinner and of sage.
But this I know, all flesh shall see His glory,
And He shall reap the harvest He has sown,
And some glad day His sun will shine in splendor
When He the Savior, Savior of the world, is known.
I cannot tell how all the lands shall worship
When at His bidding every storm is stilled,
Or who can say how great the jubilation
When all the hearts of men with love are filled.
But this I know, the skies will thrill with rapture,
And countless voices then will join to sing.
And earth to heaven, and heaven to earth will answer:
"At last the Savior, Savior of the world, is King!"

The heavens declare the glory of God
"Life asks no questions
that faith cannot answer."
~Anonymous~
.
Morning Devotional...The heavens declare the glory of God. Psalm 19:1 As the first rays of morning light broke in a spray of colour across the sky, I wondered what the first glow of creation's dawning must have been like. Look up today, into the heavens and hear them declare the glory of the One who upholds all things by the Word of His power. Lord of Heaven and Earth, we commit this day and ourselves to You. May Your perfect will be done in and through us, for Your glory and for Your honour. --Jerry Proctor
How Great Thou Art(Click to hear music) O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
Chorus:
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.
Chorus
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"
Chorus

He is Altogether Lovely
"Let us never despair while we have Christ as our leader!"
~George Whitefield~
Morning Devotional...
He is altogether lovely.
Song of Solomon 5:16
Not just lovely "all together," but in every detail. He bears scrutiny. All
that is found in the Lord Jesus is lovely to God and lovely to His people.
A botanist, through his microscope, once showed to the humble shepherd something of the detailed beauty of the heather bell. Overcome by its amazing intricacy, perfection and beauty, the shepherd wept and was heard to say, "Just to think, I trampled it."
May we always elevate Him through our words and deeds!
--J. Strahan
Purer than any dewdrop, whiter than driven snow,
Fresh from the clouds of heaven, carried by winds that blow,
In Him no trace of defilement, perfect in all His ways,
Sinless and spotless and holy through all His earthly days.
Lyttle

His Eye is on the Sparrow
Waiting for the Wind
"Our murmuring is the devil's music."
~Thomas Watson~
.
Morning Devotional...He appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever. 2 Chron. 20:21 We are told that Jehoshaphat appointed "singers," then we're told they were to "say." Which did they do: sing or say? They did both. When we sing to the Lord we should also be saying something--thinking of the words and meaning what we sing. "I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also." (1 Cor. 14:15). Whether our singing is congregational, individual, or "making melody in our heart to the Lord," our singing should be saying something to the Lord. --David Logan.
His Eye Is On The Sparrow(Click to hear music)
Why should I feel discouraged?
Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home,
When Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
Chorus:
I sing because I'm happy,
I sing because I'm free,
For His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.
"Let not your heart be troubled," His tender words I hear,
And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears
Tho' by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
Chorus:
I sing because I'm happy,
I sing because I'm free,
For His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.
Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise,
When songs give place to sighing, when hope within me dies,
I draw the closer to Him, from care He sets me free;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
Chorus:
I sing because I'm happy,
I sing because I'm free,
For His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.

Search Me O God
Mackinac Bridge, Michigan
"A mite of spirit is of more worth than a mountain of flesh."
~Stephen Charnock~
.
And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Ephesians 4:30
The Holy Spirit has emotions as a person.
When one receives Christ the Holy Spirit enters them (1 Cor. 12:13). The Holy Spirit is holy and His goal is to make us holy.
When we sin He is deeply grieved and our joy in the Lord leaves us. His goal is to convict us of sin (Jn. 16:6).
Let us not hinder the Spirit's work in our lives. Is there unconfessed sin? Confess it to God and to those you have hurt by sinning.
Today let us make the Spirit glad, not sad.
--Donald Norbie
Cleanse Me(Click to hear music)Search me, O God, and know my heart today;
Try me, O Savior, know my thoughts I pray.
See if there be some wicked way in me;
Cleanse me from ev'ry sin and set me free.
I praise Thee, Lord, for cleansing me from sin;
Fulfill Thy Word and make me pure within.
Fill me with fire where once I burned with shame;
Grant my desire to magnify Thy name.
Lord, take my life and make it wholly Thine;
Fill my poor heart with Thy great love divine.
Take all my will, my passion, self and pride;
I now surrender, Lord--in me abide.
O Holy Ghost, revival comes from Thee;
Send a revival--start the work in me.
Thy Word declares Thou wilt supply our need;
For blessings now, O Lord, I humbly plead.
