The Truth That Saves

So many people waste their lives on empty dreams and treasure,
They’re only living for selfish ways and what gives them pleasure,

So many people are trapped by sin and live under God’s wrath,
They live without hope or God’s love and are blind to the right path,

But when all seemed helpless, Christ came and paid the ultimate cost,
He died and rose back from the dead to give new life to the lost,

Now God wants this truth to be heard by all people far and wide,
The truth that they can be saved from sin and in Christ justified,

Yet this mission is too big for us to achieve on our own,
But with God we have the help we need, we are never alone, 

So pray that God would send the workers to speak out his good news,
And know that as part of God’s saving plan it is us he’ll use,

God will help us to shine as bright lights in a world dark and blind,
Our lives will point to the truth that can change sinful hearts and minds, 

His Spirit will be our strength and give us the right words to say,
As we seek to share the hope of Jesus to others each day,

So that as people learn about and receive Jesus through faith,
They too would find new life and rest in God’s love, secure and safe.

The Struggle To Find The Purpose Of Life

Struggling in the desert of life wondering why
the way was so barren and my throat was so dry.
The bright sun was beating down with heat so intense
and I was wondering why my life made no sense.

Stuck in the wasteland and trapped in that lonely place
I felt lost and alone there in the human race
'What is my poor life all about? ' I said to myself,
'Is it just having sex or gathering great wealth? '

I was wrestling with guilt and needed to repent
for these questions came from a man deep in torment.
My soul thirsting for forgiveness cried out in pain
'It's me Lord and I've come to Your cross once again.'

As I looked up to Jesus with tears on my face 
'Lord, save me, ' I cried kneeling at that holy place.
Then into my wilderness the Lord Jesus came
and He washed me and cleansed me from my guilt and shame

Jesus had reached down to this man deep in the mire
and lifted him up out of that scorching Hell fire.
This poor man had cried and the Lord heard his voice
and gave his life purpose, causing him to rejoice.

Our Hope

Hope paints a lovely picture,
of our future glory
it covers all the details
of God's eternal story.

Its embedded in our hearts,
sits on the horizon of our minds
it understands the will of God
His plans and His designs.

Hope is not something vague,
or a wish that you make
it's knowing that you're saved
from hell's flaming lake.

Hope is our confidence,
our faithful expression
it leaves on our souls
a lasting impression.

So just close your eyes,
and use your imagination
let your hope in Jesus bring
a glorious transformation!

Ephesians 1:18
King James Version

"The eyes of your understanding being 
enlightened; hat ye may know what is the 
hope of his calling,and what the riches 
of the glory of his inheritance in the 
saints,"
