Sunday Hymns - Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus

   O soul, are you weary and troubled?
    No light in the darkness you see?
    There’s light for a look at the Savior,
    And life more abundant and free!

        Refrain:
        Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
        Look full in His wonderful face,
        And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
        In the light of His glory and grace.

    Through death into life everlasting
    He passed, and we follow Him there;
    O’er us sin no more hath dominion—
    For more than conqu’rors we are!

    His Word shall not fail you—He promised;
    Believe Him, and all will be well:
    Then go to a world that is dying,
    His perfect salvation to tell!

Sunday Songs - The Gospel Changes Everything

Verse 1

The gospel changes ev'rything
The turning point in history
Even now it's changing me from who I was
The story of my Savior calls
Me to the wonder of the cross
The gospel changes ev'rything
And it is changing me
(REPEAT)

Chorus

You saved my soul by Your blood
And I'm undone by Your great love
You made a way so I could come
Just as I am to You my God

Verse 2

Jesus changes ev'rything
There is no greater mystery
That God would come to rescue me
From who I was
The kindness of my Savior calls
Me to the wonder of His love
Jesus changes ev'rything
And He is changing me

You made a way so I could come
Just as I am to You my God
To You my God
Just as I am to You my God

We Are the Dead Made Living

"Do your best. Live. Create. Fail. 

How many thieves can we fit on this cross?

How many of us can be dead in Lazarus’s tomb? 

Is there room for more dry bones in this valley? 

Because I could lie down. 

I can complain in a wilderness. 

Or maybe deny Christ three times? 

Resent the righteous? Shoo away some children? 

Fail to grow figs? 

Panic in a storm?

 Forget God’s law? 

Pursue my lusts? 

Sell out my Maker?

Hang myself in a field? 

So glad I could help. 

And from it all, from the compost of our efforts, God brings glory—a world of ripe grain in the wind. By His grace, we are the water made wine. We are the dust made flesh made dust made flesh again. We are the whores made brides and the thieves made saints and the killers made apostles. We are the dead made living. We are His cross."

-N.D. Wilson, Death by Living

Sunday Hymns - Though Your Sins be as Scarlet

“Though your sins be as scarlet,

They shall be as white as snow;

Though your sins be as scarlet,

They shall be as white as snow;

Though they be red like crimson,

They shall be as wool!”

“Though your sins be as scarlet,

Though your sins be as scarlet,

They shall be as white as snow,

They shall be as white as snow.”

Hear the voice that entreats you,

Oh, return ye unto God!

Hear the voice that entreats you,

Oh, return ye unto God!

He is of great compassion,

And of wondrous love;

Hear the voice that entreats you,

Hear the voice that entreats you,

Oh, return ye unto God!

Oh, return ye unto God!

He’ll forgive your transgressions,

And remember them no more;

He’ll forgive your transgressions,

And remember them no more;

“Look unto Me, ye people,”

Saith the Lord your God!

He’ll forgive your transgressions,

He’ll forgive your transgressions,

And remember them no more,

And remember them no more.

Bible verse:

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord:though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Isaiah 1:18

Martyn Lloyd Jones - Refuting Antinomianism

"But we can go even further, and this is the final nail which should put out once and for ever that false antinomian idea, consider what is actually said in those noble verses in Hebrews 13:20-1:

 'Now the God of peace, that brought up again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His will' - notice - 'working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ.'

Here  is the most glorious thing of all. In the new covenant of God, in Christ, through the Holy Spirit, has not only put the law in our minds and our hearts, He is even working in usa predisposition in favour of it, a desire to keep it, and He gives us power to do so."

- Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Great Doctrines of the Bible Volume 1 (p 357)

Sunday Hymns - Holy Holy Holy

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Who was, and is, and evermore shall be.

Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see;
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in pow’r, in love, and purity.

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy Name, in earth, and sky, and sea;
Holy, holy, holy; merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!
