Jesus and Jesus Alone

I love You, I love You, I love You Lord today. You paid the price for me way back on Calvary. That's why I praise you I lift you up and I magnify Your name. Oh how my heart is filled with praise. My heart, my mind, my Soul belongs to You.....This song reminds me of the closeness of Jesus and how He and He alone is all my inner most being should long to embrace. Today I just thought about the faultiness of man and how the Lord Jesus is immutable. He is the only one that's there always the word of God says He sticks closer than a brother.Proverbs 18:24 A man of too many friends comes to ruin,But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Often times I depend my joy upon the status of my friends and family. As that song came to my mind I was reminded of the deepness of the verse.. My heart my mind my soul belongs to You. That is to the Lord Jesus. So the joy sang in that song is the same joy that should reign in my heart as my days are a going. Instead of the hurt and bitterness of those around me. For because of what Jesus did on my behalf why should I have a consistent glow for Him and intern for others. No matter the circumstance.Another example that comes to mind is like on Wednesday night at the DWYL concert,I was willing to praise the Lord in the sweltering heat. Nothing could spoil the joy of worshipping Jesus. Not even the sweat that weighed me down.So I must remember what belongs to Jesus...my Heart, Mind and Soul. I gotta give Him everything

At the feet of Jesus

We fall down
We Lay our crowns
At the feet of Jesus
We cry Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lamb

The greatness of your mercy and love
At the feet of Jesus
We cry holy holy holy is the Lamb

What a great place to sit and rest at the feet of Jesus. On this Lord's day, sleep deprived and all I heard the gospel message proclaimed and it caused me to first to look deep within to see if I earnestly knew, how can a man be in the right before God? In my heart I rejoiced that I can be right and am right with God because of what the Lord Jesus did on my behalf and man's behalf. So, I reflect back to waht I heard and this song came to mind. The sermon sent me to worship the holy lamb that was worthly to be righteouness on my behalf that flames up the fire and joy from early coversion. So I am reminded how I must cast down all my crowns the things that I hold high and bow before the King.In thanksgiving and awe of His mercy and love. The only true with no string attached mercy and love at the feet of Jesus.Great reminder to return to the feet of my first love.

Music

I never really knew how much I enjoyed music. Often I find myself sing and remixing different songs. Which brings me to this one. In Christ alone has had such a major impact on my life. I remember first hearing it Summer 2006 at a evening worship serve at Eastwood. So I had the song sheet and I was like if this anit' the gospel then what is. So I continued to sing it mess up the original tune, one day the Projects worship team finish practicing and my boy Alvin Melton was playing this song in a different style. I mean the truth and good music it was great. From then on this has be my theme. Every time I hear it, it gives me the chills. Read it I'm sure it will have that impact:
In Christ Alone
In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone! who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied -
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.

So just imagine I have been sing this since the recent Lord's day.
