Light Broke Through (Song)

Light Broke Through For too long I have been broken, Feeling tossed about and bruised; Seeing the cracks in my life falling apart, Feeling shattered and abused. How can I pick up these pieces? They are torn and badly frayed; Gazing at my downfall Has left me frazzled and afraid. Chorus: But then the Light broke through the pieces; The storm has now been calmed; The Son is now shining, I’ve found rest within His arms. For too long I’ve tried to hide The pieces from God’s view, But then I learned there’s peace in brokenness When Jesus’ light shines through. “Weakness is not an option,” I tell myself each day. How can I stop my headlong rush, And take the time to pray? And each time I reflect On my past and see my shame, I realize the wonder Of God’s healing grace once again. So don’t run from the Master - He sees you when you fall. God is waiting for you to realize That He is your all in all. You don’t need to hide your pieces, Just let the Potter take your hand. Let Him do His healing w...

Jesus Made Me Whole (Song)

Jesus Made Me Whole (Alternate title: The Hem Of His Garment) I was blinded by my sins, in shadows, No way out of the deepest, darkest hole; Then Jesus called unto me, He helped me to see, I touched His garment, and He made me whole. Chorus: Touching the hem of Jesus’ garment, Oh the grace that flooded my soul; When I reached out by faith, and I gazed on His face - When I touched Him, He made me whole. Wandering in the desert, so weary, So dry and thirsty, aching in my soul; The living water flowed inside, as He stood by my side - Jesus touched me, and He made me whole. Overwhelmed by my burdens, so heavy, Worries and fears filled my heart to the full; But the Comforter came, Jesus called out my name - I touched Him, and He made me whole. October 25th, 2026 Jerry Bouey Matthew 14:35-36 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased; And besought him that they might only touch the hem of h...

Coals From Off The Altar (Song)

Coals From Off The Altar Isaiah saw the Lord his God, so high and lifted up; Trembling before His holiness - oh how his sins had piled up. Overwhelmed to stand before the Lord, the King in all His might, To see himself as God saw him, an unclean leper in His sight. Live coals from off the altar, from the burnt sacrifice, Cleansed Isaiah from all his sins - Jesus paid the awful price; Nothing else could do it - rescue him from that sinful flood, Except the spotless Lamb of God, by the power of His blood. Woe is me for I’m unworthy, can anything wash away this stain? All my works and offerings, yet my sin debt still remained. With burning coals from off the altar, my iniquity was purged away - When I looked in faith to Calvary, and saw the Saviour in my place. With coals from off the altar, from the burnt sacrifice, He cleansed me from all my sins - Jesus paid redemption’s price. Nothing else could do it - rescue me from my sinful flood, Except the spotless Lamb of God and the power of H...

It's Just Like His Great Love (Hymn)

It's Just Like His Great Love (Author: Edna Randolph Worrell) A friend I have called Jesus, Whose love is strong and true, And never fails howe’er ’tis tried, No matter what I do; I sinned against this love of His, But when I knelt to pray, Confessing all my guilt to Him, The sin-clouds rolled away. Chorus: It’s just like Jesus to roll the clouds away, It’s just like Jesus to keep me day by day. It’s just like Jesus all along the way, It’s just like His great love. Sometimes when clouds of trouble Bedim the sky above, I cannot see my Savior’s face, I doubt His wondrous love; But He, from Heaven’s mercy seat, Beholding my despair, In pity bursts the clouds between, And shows me He is there. When sorrow’s clouds o’ertake me, And break upon my head, When life seems worse than useless, And I were better dead; I take my grief to Jesus then, Nor do I go in vain, For heav’nly hope He gives that cheers Like sunshine after rain. Oh, I could sing forever Of Jesus’ love divine, Of all His car...

I Lift My Heart Today In Praise (Hymn)

I Lift My Heart Today In Praise I lift my heart today in praise To Him who loves me so, Whose mercy crowneth all my days, And makes my cup o’erflow. O have I loved Him as I should For all His blessings free? Praise God who giveth naught but good, For He is good to me! Refrain: I’ll count my blessings - Count them o’er and o’er - I’ll tell my Father’s goodness - I will love Him more, I’ll count my blessings, bountiful and free - Yet I can never count them all - So good is God to me! I thank Him for unclouded skies - For love beyond my ken - That when my path in shadow lies, The sunshine comes again. I thank Him for the hopes fulfilled - For every answered plea, That though life was not all I willed, My God is good to me! Refrain I go to meet another year, With faith no doubt can dim, God reigneth, and I will not fear, But trust my way with Him. Then if that way be bright or dark, Let peace unshaken be! And let me, like the soaring lark, Sing “God is good to me!” Carrie Elizabeth Ellis B...

The Clock Of Life (Poem)

The Clock Of Life The clock of life is wound but once, And no man has the power To tell just when the hands will stop At late or early hour. To lose one's wealth is sad indeed, To lose one's health is more, To lose one's soul is such a loss That no man can restore. The present only is our own, So Live, Love, toil with a will - Place no faith in 'Tomorrow' - For the clock may then be still. Robert H. Smith ©1932-1982 Job 14:1-2 Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. Proverbs 27:1 Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. James 4:14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. 2 Corinthians 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee...

When Jesus Looks (Poem)

When Jesus Looks When Jesus looks upon my life, what picture does He see? Does He see His own reflection, or does He just see me? Does He see His likeness, the product of His hand? Or just another Christian, who never took a stand? Does He see a child of God, a child that He set free? Living life to honor Him, or does He just see me? What about the other folks, I meet along the way? Do I show them Jesus, to brighten up their day? When someone looks into my eyes, can they truly see; that calm and gentle peace of God, that dwells inside of me? When I reach out and shake a hand, is He right there in my grip? Can they feel that strength from God, that steadies when I slip? When folks are in my presence, do they know His Spirit's there? Can they see that He's the one, who guides me everywhere? When other people think of me, what is on their mind? Do they think of Jesus Christ, so gentle and so kind? I try to be like Jesus, every single day. Spreading love and kindness, all along my ...

He Maketh No Mistake

He Maketh No Mistake My Father's way may twist and turn, My heart may throb and ache, But in my soul I'm glad I know He maketh no mistake. My cherished plans may go astray, My hopes may fade away, But still I'll trust my Lord to lead For He doth know the way. Tho’ night be dark and it may seem That day will never break; I'll pin my faith, my all in Him, He maketh no mistake. There's so much now I cannot see, My eyesight's far too dim; But come what may, I'll simply trust And leave it all to Him. For by and by the mist will lift And plain it all He'll make, Through all the way, tho’ dark to me, He made not one mistake. By A.M. Overton Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Job 23:8-10 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him: On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the rig...

Introduction To God's Magnificent Sevens

Introduction To God’s Magnificent Sevens One thing that has intrigued me the last few years in my Bible studying especially is all the sevens that I and others have found in the Bible. Of course, we all know the mainstream ones people talk about, such as Jesus’ seven I Ams in the Gospel of John; Jesus’ seven sayings from the cross; the seven churches, seals, trumpets and vials in the book of Revelation. Even though the word seven and sevens occur 54 times in Revelation, there are countless more, such as a word or phrase occurring seven times in that book (or a multiple of seven, which has the same symbolic meaning), seven people or groups in view, a passage having seven things happening in it, a sevenfold list given, seven names or types of statements, a sevenfold approach to the whole book. We can also find all of these and so many more in the Bible as a whole. Sevens (or a multiple of that number) means completion or perfection in the Bible. Often it is used to show a complete range ...
