New Light (Artist, unknown)

I think this song belongs to Lenny Leblanc, but I can’t confirm that.  Its nowhere to be found on the internet.

I remember the first time you called my name.

Broken and so ashamed,

That I never heard you before but now I see.

I was just a rebel running through the night,

With no safe place for me to hide.

And I didn’t know that you knew what I was going through.

Chorus:

But there’s a new light shining

In  these old eyes of mine.

All my friends I used to see

Don’t quite know what to think of me.

But it’s the love of Jesus

That’s made a change in me.

And I have left something behind.

But the peace I found in you is forever mine.

——————-

Memories are ashes all around my feet.

And the raindrops rolling down the street,

Remind me Lord,

Of the sweat and the blood that you gave just to wash me clean.

And sometimes I don’t know how to pray.

There are no words to truly say,

How much that I care

Oh lord, I want to live for you

Chorus:

But there’s a new light shining

In  these old eyes of mine.

All my friends I used to see

Don’t quite know what to think of me.

But it’s the love of Jesus

That’s made a change in me.

And I have left something behind.

But the peace I found in you is forever mine

Rather would I fall on my knees in worship in a moss encrusted building, a place which housed great saints, than to enter the polished beauty of popular elegance.

“Hey!  Keep it down over there.  What are you trying to do, raise the dead?”  So says the social gospel to those of The Faith.

What comes back, as an answer to all?

 

YES I AM!

Christian-Cross-Coloring-PagesThe mother of a little girl sat her child at the kitchen table.  Mom placed a drawing of a cross on a hill with a shash before the child to color.  Then mommy went about preparing dinner.

The child knew the color of wood.  She knew the color of grass.  She knew to shade the rocks with gray, and the sky with blue.  But when it came to the shash, the little one was perplexed.

“What is the color of the cloth?”  The tiny one asked.  Mother responded with the wisdom from God.  “Let God tell you what color to use honey.”

Tiny fingers reached for the box.  With the pure faith of a child she drew out the proper one.  And with all the care she had she shaded the cloth.

“It’s done.”  The precious one said.  But when mom came over to see, understanding reached deep into her soul.  God spoke to Mommy with clarity.  The color the child had chosen was the palest pink in the box.

As we are, so we teach.  Does God see?  Yes he does.

Do we worship in the true Gospel?  Or is our version so watered down that the very blood of Christ is but a pale pink?

The Value of One

What is the value of one man?

With clamoring, Man elevates all his unholy “strength”.

One man can corrupt millions.

And so, ungodliness prospers like violent weeds.

But what is the value of one servant of Christ?

I consider Stephen, the celebrated first martyr in Christ.

He was not one of the 12.

There is no miracle attached to his witness.

Yet see how God used him with excellent power of revelation.

In the midst of worthless power, Stephen testified with revealed Glory.

What is the value of one man of God?

How the kingdom of lies was shaken and stirred to violence,

When God moved within the soul of that one man.

 

Let us not consider that a mass of men must rise in order that the Gospel might become a prominent power among men.  But let us remember the Promise of God.  “For thus the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said, ‘In repentance and rest you will be saved, In quietness and trust is your strength.'” (Isaiah 30: 15)  Does the Holy Fire of God seek a place of venting among men?  As lava seeks the place of release, does the Holy Will of God seek a man to “do”?  And what shall be said when the Will of God finds that soul who “will”?

With confidence, the man of God lives out his days.  He knows the Living God’s Holy Son.  He is not restrained by terror.  He speaks with authority, for from Authority he is taught.  He joyfully does the Living Will of the Living God.  With a whisper he quiets the clamor of Man.  With the Holy Wisdom of God, he dispels the lies in which men trust so violently.

What is the value of one man?  What is the power of that man’s prayer?  How brilliant does that one shine before the Holy Throne of the Living God?  How willing is God to teach he who is willing to hear?  How sharp is the eye of the one who desires to see?  How powerfully is God willing to act when He finds one man willing to be used?

“For to the one who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance.”  (Matthew 13: 12)

“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”  (Matthew 10: 10)

What is the value of ONE MAN?
