Reason For Faith Number 3
Hello again. It’s only 3 more days till Christmas, and I’m still counting down the songs off my “Raise The Praise” collection. In case you haven’t been following the countdown, each day I’ve been using one or more of the songs as an example of a reason for faith.
As you can see from the picture, today’s reason is about restoration. Once you realize and acknowledge to God you’re a broken person, you can receive the restoration eternal life brings. And I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that eternity is a lot longer than the 70, 80, or 90 years you might live in this space/time continuum. Oops…sorry…I guess I told you anyway.
My belief is simple…if you’re willing to go wherever Truth takes you, you’ll end up in the saving Grace of Jesus. If you don’t believe you need a savior, then you’ll spend your life seeking to save and redeem yourself.
God knew you before you were born. He wrote eternity on your heart, and He gave you the options to love Him…or not. As for me, I’d rather know I’m a product of intelligent design rather than some “lifeless lump of coal” wandering this earthly plane toward infinite blackness. How about you?
#3) Your Love Restored My Soul
From my mother’s womb You have been my God…
Even if I didn’t always know it.
And I’ve loved You since my salvation day…
Even if…I didn’t always show it.
I believe Your Son is the only Way
To the life I know is never-ending…
So I cast my lot with the King of Kings
And His Truth I trust is never bending.
Jesus…Your love restored my soul.
You gave Your life to make me whole.
I’d be a lifeless lump of coal…oh
But Jesus…Your love restored my soul.
On my darkest days I am not alone.
You indwell me with Your Holy Spirit.
And Your “still small voice”is an open book
And Your grace is there if I draw near it…
And in that open Book is the one True God…
And the words revolve around His story.
And the words are turned into flesh and bone,
And He shares, with each of us, His glory.
Chorus twice
Your love restored my soul”.your love restored my soul
Your love restored…your love restored my soul.
