Daily Reading: Luke 8-9
Luke 9:56
For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them…
From time to time, within my heart so low,
I search the ever living One, the One who loved me so.
I find Him there, not to despair, but with a love so true
That light of love, borne from above, He died for me and you.
This gift of His can no man pay, the price for which He gave.
Not only me, but for all mankind, He gave His life to save.
Forever more, from sin made clean, if to His blood we clave.
To pardon us, and set us free, and rescue from the grave.
Yes, He died, oh Jesus died, the Christ, the promised Seed.
I know He died, this Lamb of God, for my most dire need.
His blood was shed upon the cross, ‘twill be my heavenly creed.
And He stands there now, before the throne, for me to intercede.
I love Him so, not just because He died upon that tree.
But I love Him so for evermore, because He first loved me.
Jesus Christ the Son of God laid down His life for thee,
Will you come to the One, who gives you rest, and a mansion clean and free.
Yes, a thousand times, a thousand ways, in a thousand songs, through a thousand poems, and for a thousand years times ten thousand…
… Jesus came into the world to save sinners!
And for those who have been saved…
When trouble comes and hard times hit
And it seems all hope is gone,
Go to the One who gives you faith
To see the battle won.
It’s Him, It’s Him who gives you faith
To walk the fires through.
So go to Him, dear child of God
For Jesus lives in You!
Dr. William T. Howe
