For The Glory Of Christ

Dear Lord Jesus -- by Your grace, power, and wisdom -- make me a "GRABBER OF THE IMPOSSIBLE" and NOT a "nibbler of the possible." ~C. T. Studd

For the Glory of Christ

By Newsong (Album: More Life)

To live is Christ
I have a passion in my heart I’ve never known before
That makes me love Him more
To die is gain
I am learning through surrender what it really means
To know that I am free

And it’s my prayer
I would live each day in such a way
That in all I do I would bring Him praise

[Chorus]
For the glory of Christ
I’ll lay down everything that I’ve been given
All my hopes and my ambitions
For what He wants for me
For the glory of Christ
I’ll take up my cross and follow
Wherever He may lead
I’ll live my life
For the glory of Christ

He knows my heart
He knows I seldom measure up to what I long to be
And what He has for me
I know His grace
And I have seen how far His arms will reach to rescue me
From the man that I could be

And it’s my prayer
I would live each day in such a way
That in all I do I would bring Him praise

[Bridge]
And when I think of what my life was worth
And how He gave His life to bring salvation to this world
How could I ever offer less than He deserves

REIGN LORD JESUS

Reign over all, Lord Jesus!
And make my heart Thy throne!
It shall be Thine, dear Saviour,
It shall be Thine alone.
Do come and reign, Lord Jesus,
Rule over everything!
And keep me always loyal,
And true to Thee, the King. ~F.R.H.

"Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised." Prov 31:30

Must I be carried to the skies on flowery beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize, and sailed through bloody seas?
Sure I must fight if I would reign;
increase my courage, Lord;
I’ll bear the toil, endure the pain, supported by Thy Word. ~Isaac Watts

"I can do all things through CHRIST who strengthens me." Phil 4:13



7 Things + 1 Divine Approval

Goes wherever God wants him to go
Obeys Him by contending earnestly for the faith
Does whatever God wants him to do
Loves the Lord, His truth, His people, the lost souls and His return
Yields to His will and guidance
Matures in his Christian faith
Always looks unto the Lord Jesus, the Author and Finisher of faith
No other man (i.e. only him) is chosen by God to...

I am the Lord's!

I am the Lord's! O joy beyond expression,
O sweet response to voice of love Divine;
Faith's joyous "Yes" to the assuring whisper,
"Fear not! I have redeemed thee; thou art Mine."

I am the Lord's! It hushes every murmur,
It soothes the fevered spirit to its rest;
I am the Lord's! It is the child's rejoinder,
Who knows and feels the Father's will is best.

I am the Lord's O eagerly and gladly,
Triumphantly and gratefully we sing;
I am the Lord's! It is the rock unfailing
To which our storm-tossed souls in danger clings.

I am the Lord's! Yet teach me all it meaneth,
All it involves of love and loyalty,
Of holy service, absoulte surrender,
and unreserved obedience unto Thee.
