It was foretold in ages past of how the dead shall live How those who sleep deep in earth-dust shall wake Some will rise to life eternal, Some to endless shame (Daniel 12:2, Acts 24:15, John 5:29) And eternal torment in a fiery lake. So our dead shall live, their bodies rise -All those who dwell in dust Awake and sing, yea, sing for joy (Isaiah 26:19) For in this blessed hope we trust God will ransom us from Sheol- Draw our souls out from the grave (Psalm 49:10) Christ will revive us from the depths, (Psalm 71:20) By resurrection power raised. For then the tomb becomes a womb And to life anew gives birth We'll be transformed and be reborn Christ will raise the sons of earth Like seeds sown in a garden Like a simple grain of wheat That falls into the prepared earth Our fruit will much increase Like dry bones in the desert Barren spirits will be raised And all the relics of the fall Shall bend their knees in praise. The Lord will keep his promises Beyond this earthly death We sh...

Doxology (Treasure the Glory) Lord make me to know your glory, For my ultimate hope is to see Here in your gospel the riches it holds May your glory be revealed to me So I will rejoice in partaking In apprehending by grace The hidden wisdom`s imparted And into this vessel it`s placed For you will present us blameless Before your glorious throne Where your kavod and your doxa In ma j esty will be made known Treasure the glory, the glory of God In and above all things Treasure the worth of the pearl of great price And forsake all the glories to which the world clings N ow in the face of Christ Jesus The radiance of glory appears We long to defer to its eternal weight O`erwhelmed by magnificent fear! And so we have hope thro u gh the gospel That in Gods glory we will soon share For now we will st u dy and seek it As a treas u re thats beyond compare until other glories that seduce men All the worlds glories that wo u ld compete With the infinite treasure of Jesus Fall in pitif u l pi...

Another year has come and gone And life has waxed and waned And every step we’re side by side Through all we’ve lost and gained. But Christmas brings back memories Of  days we’ve celebrated For we got here together These are the days for which we waited We didn’t make the journey all alone We had a strong companion for we are not our own. And with the Lord we travelled and with the Lord we’ll   stay Partakers of the promise that will see us through each day. This Christmas is a sweet one As others were before, Because you’re here beside me The one that I adore, And as we face tomorrow Our hope is ever true Through happiness and sorrow There’s Jesus and there’s you! We will not run our race or rest alone We have a strong companion, for we are not our own. And with the Lord we travel on and with the Lord we’ll   stay Partakers of the promise that will see us through each day! Love Christmas 2018 Anthony

If you’re weary and heavy-burdened A-weighed down by you r fears Oppressed by the guilt of your failures And blinded by your own tears There is hope and forgiveness in Jesus There is restoration and grace There is reconciliation and pardon And satisfaction no sin can replace We are beggars in need of a Savior We share in this ultimate need Forgiveness and true restoration If we come to his table to feed. In your desperate situation No matter the past or the cost There is Hope to be found in the Savior Not one of His own will be lost. If you’re disgraced and disappointed And forlorn in the fallout, you weep When you’ve sown to the winds of destruction And you’re tossed in the whirlwind you reap Now Jesus can keep you from falling Though you’re hung at the end of your rope For Jesus restores and renews us He gives peace and power and hope. We are sinners in need of a Savior We share in this ultimate need Forgiveness and true restoration If we come to his table to feed. In your desp...

In every fairy tale ever written,   every thrilling mystery Every science fiction work- every alternate reality Take every myth and legend, Read and you will never find Things so shocking and so strange, as to boggle the mortal mind Nothing so weird and wonderful as the soul-shaking, spellbinding story, Of the incarnation of the Son of God in all His ma J estic glory We would feel the awe, feel the fear,   the marvel of Gods Son Experience the astonishment,   and exult in all He has done Oh that we might be stunned and awakened to wonder   Tear down our walls, rend our veils all asunder Break on us like a tidal wave sublime! Show us the glory you had from all time! Oh Lord, by the word of Your power   You uphold the universe Now minute by minute, hour by hour You can remove this blinding curse Holy Spirit,   break into our worship in a terrible, frightening way, to wake us up to the unimaginable   Reality of our God today!

It may   at times be more blessed To give than to receive But there is one gift above the rest Which no one but God can give A gift that’s indescribable Given to Gods enemies We can see it in the Bible But only the chosen sees. Tis a gift   to be reconciled With the God of heaven above It comes to us in this holy child It comes to us in love But first you must receive it And unwrap this gift of grace You only have to believe it Then you’ll rest in His embrace Indescribable gift of salvation Given to all that believe Indescribable gift of salvation The gift one can only receive The gift was purchased for men By The blood of the One who died So that we are finally freed from sin And declared justified! The Son was sent to save us From Satanic works and lies So this sacrifice He gave us The atonement His blood buys The most expensive gift of all As a gift you must receive And though we falter and we fall His grace still intercedes. To live with God and placed in Christ Because ...
