How Precious!

What can wash away my sin
What can make me whole again
For my pardon this I see
For my cleansing this my plea

Oh, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing, nothing, nothing but the blood of Jesus

Nothing can for sin atone
Not of good that I have done
This is all my hope and peace
This is all my righteousness

Oh, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
And no other fount I know
Nothing, nothing, nothing but the blood of Jesus
Nothing, nothing, nothing but the blood of Jesus

Now by this I'll overcome
Now by this I'll reach my home
Glory, glory, this I see
All my praise for this I bring
All my praise for this I bring
All my praise for this I bring

Oh, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing, nothing, nothing but the blood of Jesus
Nothing, nothing, nothing but the blood of Jesus
-Jars of Clay

Ironically I was in the shower when this song came spilling out of me. Lately I've been fighting this invisible battle within. No matter how happy or happy I WANT to be I still feel heavy and knocked down. "BUT by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect" (1Cor 15:10)...He has put a new song in my heart and a hope that just confuses, boggles, and AMAZES me all together. He's just been reminding me every moment of every day that he gets me, he's refining me (it hurts!) and that I'm am not going through this in vain. I believe in God. I believe he has a legitimate purpose for my life and that he knows what he's doing. Now,......if I can only let go....

when in doubt...PRAY!

Rejoyce in the Lord always and again I say rejoyce. Let your gentleness be evident to all...

Don't be anxious about ANYTHING; but by PRAYER & petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God...

The PEACE of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts & your minds in Christ Jesus.

Whatever is:
True
Noble
Right
Pure
Lovely
Admirable
THINK IT!

If anything is:
Excellent
Praiseworthy
THINK IT!

Phillipians 4:4-13
