  How's Your View? Have you taken a look at the Saviour? Have you thought about His claims? Have you peered within at your own sin, And reflected upon His name? "Thou shalt call His name Jesus," The angel Gabriel had proclaimed, "He shall save His people from their sins" - And they will never be the same. Have you felt emptiness in your own life, And realized there must be more? Have you hungered for some meaning, Wondering what the future held in store? Like many lost souls searching, Seeking in the Apostles' day, "I would see Jesus" - Is that what your heart would say? Have your eyes glimpsed Christ crucified? Have you beheld this wondrous view? Have you rejected your own righteousness, And accepted His sacrifice for you? Have you meditated upon the Gospel, Pondered it with the eyes of faith? Have you laid aside the weight of your sin, And chosen to run the race? Is your vision clouded by the world, With fears and troubles everywhere? Are you hel...

Forgiveness Forgiveness – it’s a blessing; When a heart that once was stone, Stops exalting its own self, And lets Christ reign from His throne. Forgiveness – it’s a blessing; When all bitterness departs, When the water of the Word Purifies a broken heart. Forgiveness – it’s a blessing; Though sometimes walking by sight, Now reaching for God’s promises, By faith, grasping them tight. Forgiveness – it’s a blessing; Though blackest sins barred the way, With rivers of mercy flowing, Christ can wash them all away. Forgiveness – it’s a blessing; Eternal life by God’s grace, With joy, looking to Heaven, And beholding our Saviour’s face. November 2nd, 1999 Jerry Bouey Isaiah 38:17 Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back . Isaiah 43:25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. Isaiah 44:22 I have blotted out, a...

Take Another Look At Jesus Take another look at Jesus, And see Him clearly once again; Observe how the Mighty God Dearly loves the children of men. See Him in the Passover Lamb, Yearly offered for our sin; For those whose view is clouded, Take another look at Him. Take a clearer look at Jesus, Even when the view seems dim; See Him often in types and shadows - All of Scripture speaks of Him. See Him anguished in the Garden, See Him suffering upon that tree; Now risen at the right hand of our Father, Pleading fervently for you and me. Take a look at all creation - Marvel greatly at what you see; Then take a greater look at Jesus, For He’s the Creator of you and me. February 16th, 1999 Jerry Bouey Isaiah 45:22  Look unto me , and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God , and there is none else. John 1:29  The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God , which taketh away the sin of the world . Hebrews 12:1-2  Wherefore seeing we...

Day By Day Day by day, I will trust Christ Day by day, He will provide He will give me grace and mercy If in His presence I abide. Day by day, He knows my sorrows Day by day, He shares my pain Jesus is my joy and comfort He's my strength and life again. Day by day, I can trust Him Though some days I come unglued As I wait upon the Lord I find my strength is renewed. Day by day, I have God's blessings Which Christ's sacrifice affords I cannot rely on my own strength I will rather boast in the Lord. Day by day... August 3rd, 1999 Jerry Bouey "...and as thy days, so shall thy strength be." Deuteronomy 33:25b I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13 Written when I was dealing with chronic muscle pain (Fibromyalgia) and realized that my own physical strength was undependable at times - and I wanted to remind myself that my Lord is always dependable, and His strength is always there for the asking.
