Emmaus road

The Emmaus Road

Lo, two of the Lord’s dis­ci­ples
Walked side by side,
And talked of the dear, dead Mas­ter,
The Cru­ci­fied.
They spake with the pass­ing stran­ger,
Who walked alone;
Nor heard in the words of com­fort,
The Mas­ter’s tone.

Refrain

So, oft in the wan­ing twi­light,
One pass­eth by;
His voice rings out thro’ the dark­ness,
Lo, it is I.    –  Fannie I. Kennish

Resurrected Lord and Savior, Coming King. His majesty, the King of all kings and the Lord of all lords. The Omnipotent and Conqueror of Death and Hades we come before you now to worship and adore. May our love and gratitude to You never never cease. May we never get tired of worshipping You, Dear, Loving Lord.

Today, Lord is Easter Monday, and we remember the experience of the sad, weary, fearful disciples who You joined up on the road to Emmaus. How you warmed their cold hearts on that journey and at the end opened their eyes to enable them to celebrate your victory. Whenever our hearts get cold with fear and doubt, warm our hearts O Lord.

Palm Sunday 2020

Palm Sunday 2020

 

Ride on, ride on in majesty!

Hark! all the tribes hosanna cry;

O Savior meek, pursue your road

with palms and scattered garments strowed.

 

Ride on, ride on in majesty!

In lowly pomp ride on to die;

bow your meek head to mortal pain,

then take, O God, your pow’r and reign – Henry Hart Milman

 

His Majesty the King of Kings and the Lord of lords. Triumphant Ruler of hearts, Conquering Royal of our lives. You have no equal because you are the Alpha and Omega and the Almighty. Thank you for all you have done and is still doing for us.

Lord, today is Palm Sunday and we remember in our current situation your triumphant entry into Jerusalem as you prepared to make your ultimate sacrifice to change our lives forever. May your spirit of triumph resonate in our hearts as you give us more reasons to stick closer to you in a time like this. Amen (4/5/20)

His Victory

 

His victory

The head that once was crowned with thorns
Is crowned with glory now
The Savior knelt to wash our feet
Now at His feet we bow

 

The One who wore our sin and shame
Now robed in majesty
The radiance of perfect love
Now shines for all to see

 

Your name, Your name
Is victory
All praise, will rise
To Christ, our king – Elevation Worship

 

My Savior, My Lord, My Deliverer, My Master, My Friend, My Everything. You are the only One who has triumphed over Death and given us the victory. My Risen Lord thank you, thank you so much.

Lord as we remember your sacrifice for us and the victory that resulted we can only repeat our gratefulness over and over again. Help us always to place ourselves in a position where your victory will be manifest in our daily lives and all we do. Amen. (4/21/19)

I see the king of glory

Coming on the clouds with fire

The whole earth shakes, the whole earth shakes, yeah

I see His love and mercy

Washing over all our sin

The people sing, the people sing

Hosanna in the highest

Hosanna, Hosanna

Conquering King, Triumphant King, King without equal, receive your praise, receive your adoration, King of humility you who entered Jerusalem on a humble donkey but conquered our hearts. How will we ever finish worshipping you? We never can because you are goodness itself and your wonderful works in our lives never ceases. Glory be to You.

Lord as we remember today, Palm Sunday when you rode into Jerusalem in power but also in humility. Help us Lord to learn from you how to be humble in all our acts and at the same time to act in your power and prompting. Amen (4/14/19)

Thanks for the Cross

Thanks for the Cross

 

 

When I survey the wondrous cross

On which the Prince of glory died,

My richest gain I count but loss,

And pour contempt on all my pride.- Isaac Watts

 

 

Lord I lift your Name on high and I love to sing your praises because you have done great things for us. I realize that if I were the only sinner in the world you would have still died for me. You love me so much. I will be forever grateful. Thank you for everything.

Lord when I contemplate all the events of this Holy Week as we retrace your steps to the cruel Roman cross and your abundant love and sacrifice I can only say thank you my Lord and Savior. Amen.( 3/30/18)
