LYRICS THAT TOUCHED MY HEART - 19 (THE SUMMONS by John L. Bell & Graham Maule)

 

Will you come and follow Me
If I but call your name?
Will you go where you don't know
And never be the same?
Will you let My love be shown,
Will you let My name be known,
Will you let My life be grown
In you and you in Me?

Will you leave yourself behind
If I but call your name?
Will you care for cruel and kind
And never be the same?
Will you risk the hostile stare
Should your life attract or scare?
Will you let Me answer prayer
In you and you in Me?

Will you let the blinded see
If I but call your name?
Will you set the prisoners free
And never be the same?
Will you kiss the leper clean,
And do such as this unseen,
And admit to what I mean
In you and you in Me?

Will you love the 'you' you hide
If I but call your name?
Will you quell the fear inside
And never be the same?
Will you use the faith you've found
To reshape the world around,
Through my sight and touch and sound
In you and you in Me?

Lord, Your summons echoes true
When You but call my name.
Let me turn and follow You
And never be the same.
In Your company I'll go
Where Your love and footsteps show.
Thus I'll move and live and grow
In You and You in me.

THE LORD WILL FILL YOU WITH HIS GOODNESS AND JOY

 

The Lord will do Marvelous things in your life

THE LORD WILL GIVE YOU REST - GHG DEVOTIONS

Then Jesus said, "Come to Me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." - Matthew 11:28 

Even in the beginning of this new year, the Lord promises to give us rest.

If we continue reading the next verse, the Lord says that He will give rest to our souls.

“…rest for your souls.” - Matthew 11:29

Our God is a God who cares for our souls. That is why in Psalm 121:7 the scripture promises us that He will preserve our soul.

The Lord will preserve your soul by commanding rest in your soul.

Who will have rest?

"Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." - Matthew 11:29 

Rest in acceptance of God's yoke.

Jesus said in Matthew 11:30 that my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

So, there is one yoke of Jesus Christ and there is a foreign yoke besides His. That foreign yoke is the yoke of sinful slavery. That foreign yoke is placed upon us when we walk contrary to the ways of Jesus. It is a heavy yoke.

That is why the Lord says in Isaiah 48:22 and 57:21 that there is no peace for the wicked.

God calls us to repent at the beginning of this new year. Jesus wants to free you from the heavy yoke of sin and put His easy and light yoke on you and lead you into rest.

What should we do?

Thus says the Lord: "Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; Then you will find rest for your souls. But they said, 'We will not walk in it.' - Jeremiah 6:16 

We must walk in God's ways.

“And Martha was very distressed at doing many things…” - Luke 10:40

Most of the time we also leave the necessary things and devote ourselves to many things and live without giving importance to sitting at God's feet. Because of this our hearts are saddened and full of anxiety.

At the beginning of this year let us dedicate ourselves to walk in godly ways. Then there will be rest in your soul says Holy Spirit to you.

I AM STANDING LORD - A WONDERFUL POEM WRITTEN BY BETTY SCOTT STAM

 

I'm standing, Lord: There is a mist that blinds my sight.
Steep, jagged rocks, front, left and right,
Lower, dim, gigantic, in the night.
Where is the way?

I'm standing, Lord:
The black rock hems me in behind,
Above my head a moaning wind
Chills and oppresses heart and mind.
I am afraid!

I'm standing, Lord:
The rock is hard beneath my feet; I nearly slipped, Lord, on the sleet.
So weary, Lord! and where a seat?
Still must I stand?

He answered me, and on His face
A look ineffable of grace,
Of perfect, understanding love,
Which all my murmuring did remove.

I'm standing, Lord:
Since Thou hast spoken, Lord, I see
Thou hast beset-these rocks are Thee!
And since Thy love encloses me,
I stand and sing.
