Immense Price to Pay for Life

In realms where silver and gold hold no sway,
We find redemption in a unique way.
Not with riches that tarnish and fade,
But by the sacrifice that Christ has made.


His precious blood, so pure and bright, shines in our hearts with holy light. An immense value, beyond all cost, reminding us of what we've lost. Freely He gave His life, a ransom for all, answering to His heavenly Father's call. Suffering and service, the path He trod,
Showing us the way to the Kingdom of God.

Not self-seeking, not seeking fame, but serving others in His holy name. A stark contrast to the world's view, His path of greatness is faithful and true. To be great in His Kingdom, so divine, is to serve others, your will to resign. Putting others first, ahead of our desires, kindling in our hearts, holy fires.

The way to true life, a mystery unfolds, in selfless sacrifice, His grace He upholds. Complete reliance on God's grace so free, that's the call to you and me. In faith and hope, let us invest, not in the world, but in the blessed. Striving always to live a life, free from sin and worldly strife.

In Jesus, we find our strength and might, facing life's trials with all our might. Knowing the suffering that awaits Him so near, yet, He walked that path without any fear. He strengthens us with His mighty hand, in His presence, we securely stand. He grants us peace, calms our fears, fills us with the best, wipes away our tears.

When wicked thoughts within us rise, envy, lust - our own demise, we turn to God, confess our sin, and ask His love to dwell within. A love so deep, a call to sow what we wish to reap. To love one another, heart to heart, reflecting God's love, in every part. The Word of God, forever true, guides us in all we say and do. Its eternal truth, forever near, speaks to our hearts, dispelling fear.

Divine blessings abound, commands are sent, His words resound. Swift as the wind, they race across the sky, a special revelation, a gift from on high. His word and laws, a privilege we hold, more precious than silver, more valuable than gold. In His active care, we find our rest, with peace and provision, we are truly blessed. So let these truths shape all our ways, in attitudes, actions, and in praise. As we apply them, day by day, we reflect His love in every way.
Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
