We Are The Righteousness Of Christ

We are the righteousness of Christ

The devils aim is to take you for a heist

His only aim is to steal Gods glory

He’ll tell you lies and tell you a story

He’ll cause you to trip when you walk

He’ll set a trap for when you talk

In his purpose he wants you to fall

So badly that Jesus you won’t call

 

We are the righteousness of Christ

He is the one that won’t take you for a heist

He died so that in Him you will live

He wants you to confess so He can forgive

Forgiveness is His aim

Sin is the devils game

His desire is to Him closely you will stay

So in your walk you will not want to stray

So if you stumble and then you fall

Be humble and give Jesus a call

He’ll pick you up and gently put you down

He’ll be your only Solid Ground

I Stake Everthing On The Resurrection

I stake everything on the resurrection

I stand firm and that’s my conviction

If there’s no resurrection what’s the use

I would look at sin what do I have to lose

From the dead if Christ has not been raised

Our preaching is useless so is our faith

Then we are false witnesses about God

People shake their head no with a nod

My eternity is in the resurrection

I won’t sway from that conviction

Christ is raised and that’s my belief

I will not be deterred or be deceived

Gods Word says that Christ has been raised

And for that I give my Lord the praise

He Was Despised and Rejected By Men

ISAIAH 53:3-6

3) He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering, Like one from whom men hide their faces, he was despised, and we esteemed him not. (4) Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him and afflicted. (5) But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. (6) We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us have turned to his own way;  and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

He was despised and rejected by men

For most they thought they didn’t have sin

A man of sorrows, familiar with suffering

The pain, He knew nothing will be buffering

Like one from whom men hide their faces

One day He will be the judge of their cases

He was despised and we esteemed Him not

To sentence Him to die was their only plot

Surely He took up our infirmities

Knowing this was not an adversity

He even carried our sorrows

Our penalty is Paid not borrowed

Yet we considered Him stricken by God

The only One that deserves to be awed

Smitten by Him and afflicted

Our sin is why He was convicted

He was pierced for our transgressions

His punishment left a lasting impression

He was crushed for our iniquities

He went to the cross obediently

The punishment that brought us peace was upon Him

He was sacrificed as the Holy Lamb

By His wounds we are healed

And with the Holy Spirit we are sealed

We all like sheep have gone astray

Each of us have turned to his own way

The Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all

From the end to the beginning called the fall

Stumbles and Skinned Knees

Stumbles and Skinned Knees

These I seem to do with ease

When I sin is when I stumble

I ask WHY as I mumble

I hear a voice softly say

Turn from sin just turn away

And again I ask HOW

Put your trust in Christ now

How do I learn to trust

Put faith in Christ this is a must

Skinned knees OH how they hurt

As my tears soak my shirt

I ask myself why do I have tears

It’s simple because of my fears

This walk seems so hard

With sin I have to be on guard

I ask for strength when I stumble

I do this in a Prayer not a mumble

Hurts Into Harvests

When nothing will stop the pain

Turn your hurts into harvests

In time it will relieve the darkness

Harvests WHAT might you ask

To do the work of God is our task

HOW when you’re in pain

It’s like nothing will stop the rain

There’s just tears and great despair

You question God, does He hear your prayer

And ask again is He even there

You find someone, and feel led to share

You find others that you can tell

How this hurt seemed like the pit of hell

Before you know it God eases your pain

And your sharing slows down the rain

You give this hurt to Christ your Lord

It’s what you learned from Gods Word

Then Gods work stops the rain

And you see Harvests instead of pain

Reblogged from :

Changed Life Changed Heart

You change you life by changing your heart

Oh how do I begin, Oh where do I start

At first I prayed and asked God if He exists

Please reveal yourself , help me not to resist

I then asked Jesus to come into my heart

This was my marvelous start

My next step was to in faith believe

Jesus is the Son of God and that I do not weave

I then believed He was raised from the dead

For me and you His Blood was shed

Next, was for me to confess my sins

That’s when I believe forgiveness begins

As Jesus began to change my heart

Turning away from sin I began to start

I now ask Christ for strength to repent

The strength comes from the Holy Spirit sent

I now believe a changed life is a choice

That’s all because I obeyed Gods voice
