The Day of Grace



 Now is the time to serve the Lord,
The time to insure the great reward;
And while the lamp holds out to burn,
The vilest sinner may return.

Now is the hour that God has given
To escape from hell and fly to heav'n;
The day of grace, and mortals may
Secure the blessings of the day.

This, this, this is the day of grace
This, this, this is the time and place.
Time to approach the glorious throne
To rest in the presence of the living stone
This, this, this is the day of grace.

The living know that they must die,
But all the dead forgotten lie;
Their memory and their sense is gone,
Alike unknowing and unknown.

Then what my thoughts design to do,
My hands, with all your might pursue;
Since no device nor work is found,
Nor faith, nor hope, beneath the ground.

Bridge:This is the day of grace today
His presence  is your hideaway
He’ll ne’er forsake, this is His pledge
Don’t live beneath your privilege

This, this, this is the day of grace
This, this, this is the time and place.
Time to approach the glorious throne
To rest in the presence of the living stone
This, this, this is the day of grace.

Life the day of grace and hope. Eccl. 9:4-6,10.
After Isaac Watts

One Unholy Mess

I try and I try but I confess I am one unholy mess At the end of myself, undone Did I hear the Savior say “come”? Come sinner come Come to the holy one Though you’re far away I can hear Jesus say Come home come home come home Over my sin I come to grieve In my unbelief help me believe For this time I was brought low So mercy I could come to know Come sinner come Come to the holy one Though you’re far away You can hear Jesus say Come home come home come home Bridge He will meet you where He finds you But he will not leave you there For His fiery grace refines you And Your burdens He will bear. He says Come sinner come Come to the holy one Though you’re far away You can hear Jesus say Come home come home come home Anthony Foster December 23, 2020

You Are I AM

Bread of Life in you we delight Light of the world you give us sight Door of our entry open wide Good Shepherd be my only guide You are I am, You are I am You are the first and the last Beyond the future and the past Source of reality Our sufficiency All found in you You are faithful and true. The way the truth and the life we’ve found The resurrection and the life abounds In our living vine we will abide To your holiness we flee and hide You are I am, You are I am You are the first and the last Beyond the future and the past Source of reality Our sufficiency All found in you You are faithful and true.
