For God so loved the world


Imagine the world in the form of a ball
Looking at it makes us seem so very small
We wonder how each person can be seen; we wonder what that does mean
Because we know that God looks down on you and me and knows us each personally
He has a love so deep and wide, really from it none of us can hide
And when God made the world so long ago,
He wanted mankind this deep love to know

So he sent to us a gift of his only son, but so many from Jesus did sadly run
He wanted us to know what this gift meant to each person on earth,
He was simply trying to show us that we would experience a new birth
So Jesus walked among mankind, no nicer person would we ever again find
As Jesus walked among the sick, he made them well so very quick

But there were many who did not understand, and they began to make a terrible plan
They tried so hard to stop his love, but God protected him from up above
For he to had a plan to save mankind and knew that through Jesus this we would find

God so loved each person down here and his work on earth would never disappear
For God knew that he had to make a sacrifice, and being His only son, that was not very nice
He knew mankind would not understand this loss, and why he allowed Jesus, his son, to suffer on that terrible cruel cross
He gave to us a gift so deep, so that in his arms we can tenderly rest and sleep
So you see its wonderful how much God loves us,
He wanted to personally make a big fuss

He wanted us to understand, that he himself had an amazing great plan
So think about the love he gives, and how Jesus dying on the cross allows us to live.
Its a gift like a key that open heavens door, where suffering and hardship we will know no more.

Today as you think about Gods plan, I hope that you personally can now understand.
Take hold of the key that allows you in, for it will set you free from a life of sin.
For God so loved the world that he gave his only son and friends today we should take hold of it and not run.

GODS PLAN

Jeremiah 29: 11 I say this because I know what I am planning for you," says the LORD. "I have good plans for you, not plans to hurt you. I will give you hope and a good future.


God has a plan for each of us; yes a plan for you and me.
And sometimes throughout our lives these plans we cannot see.
We simply have to rely on God to be there to guide us through,
Gods plan involves some trials and tests,
but only because he wants to see us do our best.
He wants us to give him our life each day
And in our hearts he will always stay.
And as we travel on that journey
And we live our lives from day to day,
Watch carefully at each moment
and you will see the joy that comes from your lives on display.
For in your prayers you will be thankful
that you traveled that road today.

And when the road gets rough and the troubles seem to stay
Remember my friends that God has for you a plan,
So dont try and do it all your way.
As you try to chart your course and understand your life
You will question things that happen
when you get into strife.
So often we never know just which way to turn
Look at God my friend
and from these things you will learn.
Dont waste your time on worry and what you want to do.
Just let go,
and let God work in your heart,
and then you will understand his plan too.
Its then that you will simply see,
that it was all part of what God has in store
and it was never really up
to you or me.

WORSHIP

Worship is such an amazing thing; it brings us close to God and makes our whole being sing.
It comes from within our heart so glad, and singing songs of worship always seem to take away those things that make us sad.
Those melodies that come from within our hearts fill us with such warmth and love and from that we really dont want to depart.

Oh yes we can close our eyes and we can lift our hands, but God almighty simply understands, that this object of worship is glorious and grand.

Its time to stand and be with God, and allow the words of worship to take us on paths with him that he has already trod.

We sing about faith, understanding and love, but God made it all clear when he sent his son from up above.

His majesty and glory are marvelous indeed, and all of these things allow us to have his love in our lives and thats something we all desperately need.

As we lift our eyes to heaven above allow that beautiful soothing worship to float out us like a soft white dove. Then imagine a stream of water that has shining on it some glistening sun, and allow that music in your heart to hum.

You see God allows us to come close to him, and through his creations that praise can begin. Just allow the beauty of the worship you have to fill your minds, and Gods awesome majesty you will indeed find.

For worship is a tool to use, its not something we should abuse.
Its given to us to say to God, I understand and love you , for you have done so much for me., because when we look at Jesus its very clear to see.

And so I want to tell you just now youre awesome, wonderful. majestic and powerful and true..yes lord I sincerely love you.

For this worship will go on and on, and my heart is always filled with a sweet calming song.
So as we now come to you today lets begin to offer the worship and the love we want to display.Lord thank you for listening and allowing our praise, and thank you Lord for your Son that you so freely gave.
In reverence to you I will finish now.With my head before your majesty I do bow.

HE Julie Schofield April 2007

He came to us as a tiny babe in a manger far away
He grew into a man so great his mother thought he would stay
He went out into the wilderness & on his knees he did pray
He asked his father to help him through each and every day
He moved among the people and he choose a group of men
He spoke to the crowds, that's when his ministry began
He healed the sick, rose up the lame, and made the people see
He became very popular and everyone wanted near him to be
He loved the children and their faith and how they came to him
He wanted everyone to understand like the children, the simplicity of their sin
He knew the Pharisees were trying to get him to run
He knew that his fight had only just begun
He knew that his disciples would see him suffer and die
He knew the world would understand one day how the Pharisees did lie
He went into the city on that donkey oh so grand
He saw the faces of the people and he knew they didn't understand
He allowed his disciples to leave him to pray even though he begged them to stay
He took upon his shoulders the burdens of his prayers
He asked his father to release Him if he could from the terrible snares
He knew his father will as such and that he father cared
He went that day as the dawn arrived and was handed over to them
He went before the judges and verdict it was grim
He then allowed them to question who he was and what he did
He never once stopped them or from the punishment slid
He took it all for you the whips, chains ,beatings and thorns
He endured all that pain so you and I could be re born
He walked up to the hill and dragged his cross behind
He was our Saviour the one who would save mankind
He laid down and took the nails in his hands and feet
He knew that by doing this satan he would defeat
He hung on that cross and suffered so much for each and everyone
He knew they would soon understand that he was indeed Gods son
He whispered it is finished his job on earth was done
He closed his eyes and left this world the pain and suffering was over for him
He knew that now each and every person would be able to be free from sin
He laid in a grave so dark and cold but he was not alone
He rose up on that third day and gently rolled the stone
He waited for the women and his disciples to come
He knew they didnt understand that they were about to see Gods son
He gently told them he was no longer in the grave
He wanted to relay this message so that others would be saved
He walked among the people and blessed them for a while
He knew that soon he would leave and walk the heavenly mile
He left them with a message that touches us each one
He wants us all to know about Jesus Gods wonderful life giving son
He gave to us the gift of life through forgiveness of our sins
He wants you now to continue as your new life begins.
