Would you go with Jesus?
When the path is bright
When the way is cheery
And the burden’s light?

Would you go with Jesus?
When the path is dim
When the way is dreary
Would you trust in Him?

I Have Redeemed Thee

1
It only takes a spark to start a fire,
And soon the forest is in flames.
It only takes a word to make a lie,
And crucify the Best of Names.

2
The gentle rain above turns to a flood,
And takes the labor of our hands.
The murmur of the earth turns to a mob,
And fights for fleeting wealth and lands.

3
The winds of change come as they please;
A gentle breeze turns to a gale.
One constant in the foaming seas,
Our Rock & Anchor will prevail.

Chorus 1 & 2 - A
There is a promise from the Lord:
He will reward all evil in the end;
And those of us who have been true,
He will restore it all ten times again.

Chorus 3 - A
There is a promise from the Lord:
He will preserve us to the end;
And if we trust Him and be true,
He will reward us all ten times again.

Chorus 1-3 - B
I have redeemed thee; I will restore.
Where I am dwelling, it is secure.
I have redeemed thee. Look up to me.
For where your eyes are, your heart will be.

Faith is not
faith that the pain is gone,

Faith is
for grace while we carry on,
…today…

and the promise
…on some eternal day…
of no more pain.

Admonition
by Eric Druist

When you pray for mercy,
Make a prayer for grace.

When you plead forgiveness,
Earnestly seek his face.

When you ask for compassion,
Remember the cross anew.

When you’re seeking redemption,
Be searching in truth.

Will You Part at the Portals?
by Eric Druist

Will you part at the portals
at the end of the day?
Will you stand undecided
as time passes away?

Will you walk on together
with the family of God?
Or will you find yourselves parted
in the courtroom of God?

Lord, Write
The Book of My Life

Oh Lord, I want You to write the book of my life;
Take the quill, and write every line;
And when I'm turning the page at the end of the age,
May it read that Your Will transformed mine.

Oh Lord, I want You to search the script of my life;
Lord, I long to be perfectly whole.
Show me every blot, ev'ry error in plot;
I want Jesus to be in control.

Oh Lord, I want You to write the theme of my life;
Write the song that beckons my soul;
Write a song that is free, pen my heart's melody
That I'll sing while eternity rolls.

Poetic Prayer by Eric Druist

What Has God Said?
Love Good, Hate Evil

By God's Word, the worlds were formed.
Yet Satan asked, "Yea, hath God said?"

Satan, the confuser, the deceiver, the father of all lies, would have us to put even things as basic as love and good at opposition with one another.

Love versus good is a false dichotomy, a false division brought about by our own unrighteousness.

If we are trying to divide the attributes of God, rather than unite them, we are not leading people to Heaven, we are leading people to confusion. God is not the author of confusion.

Love of good, hate of good,
hate of evil, love of evil.
What do you love or hate?
