First Fruits of Those Who Sleep

But now Christ has been raised from the dead,

the first fruits of those who sleep in Him.

For since by a man, death came to us,

by a man, God will also raise them!

 For as in Adam, all people die,

so in Christ, they will once again live.

Can you think of any better thing,

that our Father in Heaven could give?

But each will rise in his own order…

the Son of God was the first to rise;

then those who are His at His coming

will be raised and meet Him in the sky!

He’ll then hand the kingdom to Jesus,

after putting down all who oppose.

Then death will at last be abolished,

and it’s all because He arose!!!!

-1 Corinthians 15:20

Praise His Holy Name!

Serving Christ our Savior
is my highest aim.
Thank You, Father, for Your Gift,
praise His Holy Name!

I don't need lots of money,
praise from men, or fame.
I only want to make Him proud,
praise His Holy Name!

He was a meek and lowly man,
healed the blind and lame.
But He'll return a conqueror,
praise His Holy Name!

He's won the greatest victory,
beat Satan at his game.
Now we will live forevermore,
praise His Holy Name!

So we can stand before Him soon,
spotless, without blame,
all because He died for us,
praise His Holy Name!

Sing praise to the LORD, you His godly ones, and give thanks to His holy name.

–Psalm 30:4

Help Me In My Unbelief

I believe, Lord Jesus,
help me in my unbelief.
Let me trust in You in all things,
be it illness, strife, or grief.

Let me pray, and then be silent,
knowing You are in control.
You know how I start worrying,
when I get on a roll!

Help me lay it on the altar,
and not pick it up again.
For to worry is to doubt you, Lord,
when You've died for my sins!

Help me know when I am burdened,
You're there to give me rest.
And help me leave things in Your care,
for you know what is best!

[Mark 5:25-34]

 I Sure Hope He’s Proud of Me

When I stand before His throne,

I sure hope He’s proud of me;

and I’ll fall down at His feet,

and His smiling face I’ll see!

 I’ll take the crowns that I receive,

and cast them at His feet,

and feel the total love of God,

sent from the Mercy Seat!

 As I humbly kneel before Him,

while pure and undefiled,

it will be my joy to hear Him say,

“Well done, my precious child!”
