Preach Through My Lyrics

Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for His friends. John 3:13. There is no fear in Love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But He who fears has not been made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18  floweraura.com BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME All the things I have said I'll do- The ones I have done And those I haven't done. All the things I've said I will never do- The ones I have actually never done  And those I keep doing and regretting All these things do not define me .. Because You love me Because You love me You do not keep account of my sin You do not grow weary of taking me back You do not leave me alone even once You do not cease to supply my every need You do not give up on me Because You love me I  can come boldly to Your throne of Grace I can cry and sit still and be held I can make it through any storm I can soar on wings like eagles I can laugh and danc...

We forget a lot, don't we? Picture this. nydailynews.com You are in campus. It's one day to exams and you still don't have your exam card. Reason?   Your school fee has not been cleared.

This is one of the love songs that when I listen to, I almost break down. It's so pure and it explains a love incorporated by thanksgiving and adoration all at the same time. Just what worship is all about. You know I’ve had some lonely days I’ve made mistakes and had to pay I’ve had some friends that walked away Just like mama told me But there’s someone whose love is real Who cares about the way I feel Every pain, and erase every stain There’s peace when I call out your name.

Have you ever done or said something then looked back and wondered if that was really you or someone else? Are there times when you have thought of yourself as a very ‘good’ person then somehow something happens and you realize you are probably not that ‘good’ after all? counsellingacf.com When such things happen I am reminded that apart from Christ there is really no good in me.

I once read somewhere that if faith was easy then everyone would be perfect at it. This however is not the case. Many people, even the greatest people in the bible at some point would get discouraged when things didn't seem to work as soon as they had hoped for or in the manner of which they had anticipated.
