His Love


Chorus:
(J.R.)
Oh
I just wanna be/I just wanna be
Closer to Your heart/You will find me there
Everything I am/It’s because of You
It’s because of You/And now, we sing
Tonight/I’m giving You all of me
Tonight/I let go of everything
Tonight/I’m giving You all of me
Tonight/Tonight/Tonight
I give You all of me

Verse 1:
(Flame)
Let’s pray
Dear Father in the name/Of Your holy Son
I desire like Jesus/Prayed for us to be one
I desire to give/I desire to serve
I desire to love/Others with more than my words
Bless me to be humble/Bless me to be meek
I want to be a joy/When people come around me
Give me a gentle spirit/Bless me to be content
Please keep me from my sin/Let me quickly repent
Please give me discipline/Give me self control
To know when to stop/And when to say no
Make me a bold witness/Please remove fear
Replace it with faith/Pour out Your spirit here
Fill me up Lord/Let me overflow
Let me overdose/Make me holy/Keep me close
I want to give it all/Until there’s none left
But I can’t beat You givin'/Look at Your Son’s death

Chorus:

Verse 2:
(Flame)
I can see You talking to high priest/Peter just denied You
For the second time/One more time he will deny You
One of the officers smacked You in the face/But he didn’t understand that You were actually grace
But the people would rather see the release of a thief/Than to know forgiveness and be with the Prince of Peace
And as they screamed for Pilate to crucify You/I hear my own voice because every day I deny You
But yet You still bore the cross on Your vertebrae/Walking to Golgatha
What a display of grace
I see Your weakened body beaten/Can’t keep me from crying
Your cross was very heavy/They gave it to Simon
Then You were crucified/They divided Your clothes
Like the Scriptures prophesied/You died and You rose
Two thousand years ago/Slaughtered on the tree
You gave all of You/I’m giving all of me

Chorus:

Verse 3:
(Flame)
This I pray Lord/To be like Abraham
Ready to give it all/My only son as the lamb
Ready to sacrifice/Everything if You ask
Because nothing is mine/Not this life that I have
Everything I own/Oh Lord is a gift
So who am I/To hold it with a firm grip
I give You my talent/I give You my time
I give You my eyes/I give You my mind



Now people take a second and read this prayer - put to words by Christian Rapper Flame - This is a prayer that you can actually say - you can become exactly this - The one verse that hits me hard is "And as they screamed for Pilate to crucify You/I hear my own voice because every day I deny You" - Wow - how many chances do we avoid or pass up in a day to tell someone about God about the Grace of Jesus - He describes the walk to Golgatha - but he doesnt go into description of it - Let me break it down for you - Imagine being beaten with two by fours full of nails and multiply that times ten - humiliated in front of all the people he LOVED - bleeding to death - spit upon, ripped apart, stones thrown at him, people screaming how much they hate him, stabbed while on the cross, PIERCED BY NAILS AND A CROWN OF THORNS - blood flowing everywhere from his beaten body - PEOPLE - this is not even close to the real description of what happened but i want you to try and visualize it - just try and see - I just can't understand what he felt - noone can - His father (God) having to stand there and watch his child being murdered - JUST SO YOU COULD HAVE GRACE - Just so YOU could have freedom - Just so YOU could truly know what love is! All the while he hung on the cross not embarrassed or destroyed but full of LOVE - He is dying and takes time to recognize US and how God should still forgive us -
LUKE 23:34 says -
Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”

WOW - he is dying on a cross, crucified as an innocent man, beaten, bruised, and yet still finding time to call out to God to forgive us! Wow if that isn't LOVE then I don't know what would count as LOVE! Hope everyone who reads will pray for those who need to hear this and understand that Jesus just wants a personal relationship with them. Wants them to love him so he can show them the awesome plans he has for their life! Be blessed everyone! Jesus Loves you and so do I!

Tim Tebow and what God is doing


The fact that Tebow had 316 yards passing and averaged 31.6 yards per pass in the game didn't escape notice on Sunday night. Tebow wore "John 3:16" on his eye black in the 2009 BCS Championship game and has since become identified with the famous Bible message. The coincidental stats caused millions of fans to perform Google searches on the Bible passage in the past 24 hours. Here's one more unbel...ievable stat: John Ourand of Sports Business Journal reports that the final quarter-hour television rating for the Broncos-Steelers game was, you guessed it, 31.6. (Yahoo sports)

All I have to say in this is WOW! Last night the number one trending topic on yahoo was John 3:16 - this morning its dropped to number 4 - This man is affecting people for Christ! ARE YOU? You don't have to be famous to do so - start with the people you know - the easy ones to talk to and make your moves from there! Think about this - Tebow has a selfless heart. Every interview its not about what he does or what play he made - it's about God first and foremost and then its about his TEAM. Surround yourself with a great team and GREATNESS can happen! It's so awesome to be a Christian and know that here is a man affecting so many people and them not even know it. How many people do you think that have criticized him have looked up John 3:16 - people this is one of the most important scriptures in the bible - "For GOD so loved the world that he GAVE his only begotten SON that whosoever believes in him should NOT perish but have eternal life" WOW - just that one scripture can be the defining moment in a persons life - ok - If you have trouble talking to people I understand - but take a moment and pray specifically for the people reading this or reading John 3:16 because of Tim Tebow or reading about God for the first real time or because of anyone out there who is making an effort to do what tim does everytime he steps on a football field! Take the time and pray right now - you can help God to move in so many ways - James 5:17 says "Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years." - this tells me that if we just pray - and continue to pray - and even after praying we pray even yet again - that God will move and we will see it in a magnificent way - please remember this - Take time to pray for Tim and yourself and that you would have courage to step out and tell people about Jesus - who loves you more than anyone or anything can ever love you - that he cares for you more than anyone cares for you - that he wants to see you prosper and be the man or woman that God has planned for you to be. Your prayers can change someones life around you. I have seen this in people I know - even like I said before if you can't talk to them - for whatever reason - about Jesus - that's ok - PRAY! Be blessed - Jesus loves you and so do I!
