"...the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."
Galatians 2:20


THE SON OF GOD
   by David C. Brown

When I was bound by darkness
Beneath a load of sin
With judgement as my prospect
And fearfulness within
Who shone upon my darkness?
Who worked to set me free?
The Son of God who loved me
And gave Himself for me.


I'm longing for the moment
When all the ransomed crowds,
Arising into glory,
Will meet Him in the clouds;
How wonderful the moment
When blissfully I see
The Son of God who loved me
And gave Himself for me.

He is the Lord of glory
And is the Prince of peace,
Creator and Redeemer,
Whose wonders will not cease:
Wonder of grace and mercy
That such a One should be
The Son of God who loved me
And gave Himself for me.

O Father, make me like Him,
The Man of thy delight!
O Holy Spirit guide me
Where he will be my Light!
Help me, my Lord and master
To be conformed to Thee
The Son of God who loved me
And gave Himself for me!

God's Faithful Promises,
     by James Clark

"I will be with thee; I will not fail
thee, nor forsake thee."...Joshua 1:3


God be with you: He is strong,
He will lead you safe along;
He will always meet your need,
Give you on Himself to feed.

God be with you: He is swiss,
Knoweth all beneath the skies:
Knows you need from day to day,
Therefore, Christian, watch and pray.

God be with you: He is light,
In His presence all is bright;
In His light we journey on,
Filled with Joy and Hope and Song.

God is Love: How well you know,
What the cost to save from woe;
What the love that freely gave
His own son your soul to save.

God is with you all the way,
Until night shall pass away;
Then to see His blessed face,
Saved forever, by His grace.
