Boasting In The Lord (Poem)

Boasting In The Lord So many will boast of their status and wealth - For too many that is all that's worth living; I'd rather boast in my spiritual health - I'll rejoice that I am saved and forgiven! So many will boast in who and what they know - Their connections are the things they do treasure; I would rather boast in the Lord Jesus Christ - His Word is my only sure guide and measure! So many will boast in the things they have made - As if this life was the end of the story; But I would rather boast in the world to come - Heaven above is in what I will glory. So many will boast that they have now arrived - Trusting in themselves - a sad situation! But I'd rather boast in what Jesus has done - Singing aloud of His wondrous salvation! So many will boast of things under the Sun - Things that will one day be shaken and scattered; I will boast in my Father's, "My child, well done" -  In eternity, that's all that will matter!

So Amazed (Song)

So Amazed Basking in Your presence at the start of the day, I meditate in wonder and begin to pray. “So amazed,” is all my raptured soul can say. Who am I, Lord, that You would love me this way? Once burdened by sins that my mind couldn’t erase, Now, forgiven – in Your sight there’s not even a trace. So amazed and awed by Your amazing grace. Who am I, Lord, that You would die in my place? At the mountaintop, at last, I rest from my climb, Rejoicing in the soothing peace that I find. So amazed, in Christ I have victory this time. By staying focused on Him, steadfast in mind. So amazed, Lord, by Your amazing grace, So amazed, Jesus, that You died in my place, So amazed by all the wondrous things that You do, So amazed, my God, I’m so amazed in You! April 5th, 2002 Jerry Bouey And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto? 1 Chronicles 17:16.

Am I A Soldier Of The Cross? (Hymn by Isaac Watts)

Am I A Soldier Of The Cross? Am I a soldier of the cross - A follower of the Lamb? And shall I fear to own His cause Or blush to speak His name? Must I be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize And sailed through bloody seas? Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? Since I must fight if I would reign, Increase my courage, Lord! I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy word. By Isaac Watts
