BEYOND MERE EXISTENCE



Why does it seem so easy
To slowly grow so cold,
To lose that fire we once had known
That burned within our souls?


We start to lose the joy
And life becomes a bore,
We just live from day to day
With no hope in the Lord


We give up on the dreams,
We once had in our hearts,
We settle down to mere existence
Alone within the dark




Oh God our spirits yearn
To know you so much more,
We don't want to just exist
But know you as before


To feel your presence in our lives
And a new song on our lips,
To walk in victory every day,
O Lord, we long for this


Come, O God, and touch us
Ignite us once again,
So we will burn with holy zeal,
More than we had back then


Fill us with your spirit, Lord,
And we shall be renewed,
So joy can be restored to us
With brand-new hope in you.

Never was it human weakness,  Not was it 'cos he was friendless, That he gave his head, his sides, his hands, his feet - To the nails he was willing, Cup of suffering he was drinking, For my sins a perfect sacrifice was meet - Bleeding from his offered fullness, Crucified without a witness, Up he hung, down he looked and loud he cried! How he said "forgive them Father, For their sake he'll take the slander Then he sighed, freely bled and so he died! So dear friend present your bodies, To this Saviour, all your goodies, Crucified with him be dead...

COME TO JESUS AND BE HEALED!

And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.  And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.  And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. Luke 8:43 - 48.  Are you suffering from any infirmity, disease or ailment?  Come to Jesus and be healed! Is it asthma, diabetes, cancer or body pain? Jesus has the cure for them al...
