My songs by Wendy G |
As we approach Easter, and think about its true meaning, I reflect on songs and hymns which have been a source of strength and encouragement in my life. Many have impacted me at different ages and stages, but the lesson I have clung to is that Jesus and His story are both true and relevant. He has proven Himself faithful during many difficult situations, and what He means to me cannot be underestimated. How can I choose a personal hymn When so many give all glory to Him? I've spent some time trying to choose The song He would have me use To bring blessing to those who are in pain, Or encourage them on His path again. The ones I prefer talk of His grace And of what He's done for our earthly race. The best ones focus on His wonderful name And the precious reason why He came So all I can do is offer these And pray that each may others please. I think my all-time favourite is "Jesus Messiah", (by Chris Tomlin) because it speaks so beautifully and powerfully of the many names of Jesus and of His beautiful life-giving sacrifice. You will be greatly blessed if you have a few minutes to listen. He became sin, who knew no sin That we might become His Righteousness He humbled himself and carried the cross Love so amazing, love so amazing Jesus Messiah name above all names Blessed Redeemer, Emmanuel The rescue for sinners, the ransom from Heaven Jesus Messiah, Lord of all His body the bread, his blood the wine Broken and poured out all for love The whole earth trembled And the veil was torn Love so amazing, love so amazing Jesus Messiah name above all names Blessed Redeemer, Emmanuel The rescue for sinners, the ransom from Heaven Jesus Messiah, Lord of all All our hope is in You All our hope is in You All the glory to You, God The light of the world Jesus Messiah name above all names Blessed Redeemer, Emmanuel The rescue for sinners, the ransom from Heaven Jesus Messiah, Lord of all Jesus Messiah, Lord of all Lord of all You're my Lord Of all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN4wj2KAdhU
My next choice is "Jesus, Name above all names" for exactly those above reasons. We can't go wrong if we focus on Him. Again, the words and music will bless and encourage you to trust the One who is totally trustworthy and faithful in His love, as I have experienced throughout my life. Jesus Name above all names Beautiful Savior Glorious Lord Emmanuel God is with us Blessed Redeemer Living Word Jesus Lord God Almighty Wonderful Counselor Light of the world The Prince of peace Above glory Man of sorrow Lamb of God https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrbu6l2-c0U
To close my trilogy, I offer this song of commitment, beautifully sung by Robin Mark, simply called Jesus, all for Jesus. It has brought me to tears at times.Jesus, all for Jesus All I am and have and ever hope to be Jesus, all for Jesus All I am and have and ever hope to be All of my ambitions, hopes and plans I surrender these into Your hands All of my ambitions, hopes and plans I surrender these into Your hands For it's only in Your will that I am free For it's only in Your will that I am free Jesus, all for Jesus All I am and have and ever hope to be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8u92h1iHV7M
