 Rudolf
the Red Nosed Reindeer
Authors:
Robert May (lyrics), Johnny Marks (music)
Rudolph,
the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him,
you would even say it glows.
All
of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games.
Then
one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then
all the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you'll go down in history!
Rocking
around the
Christmas Tree
Rocking
around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop.
Rocking
around the Christmas tree,
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling.
you
will get a sentimental
Feeling when you hear
Voices singing let's be jolly,
Deck the halls with boughs of holly.
Rocking
around the Christmas tree,
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily
In the new old-fashioned way.

Oh
Holy Night
Oh
holy night!
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall
on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night divine
Led
by the light of Faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here come the wise men from Orient land
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend.
Truly
He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.

Roquemaure

Oh
Christmas Tree
O
Christmas tree, O Christmas tree!
How are thy leaves so verdant!
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
How are thy leaves so verdant!
Not
only in the summertime,
But even in winter is thy prime.
O
Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
How are thy leaves so verdant!
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Much pleasure doth thou bring me!
O
Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Much pleasure doth thou bring me!
For every year the Christmas tree,
Brings to us all both joy and glee.
O
Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Much pleasure doth thou bring me!
O
Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Thy candles shine out brightly!
O
Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Thy candles shine out brightly!
Each bough doth hold its tiny light,
That makes each toy to sparkle bright.
O
Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Thy candles shine out brightly!
The
Most Wonderful Day
Of the Year
The
Most Wonderful Day Of The Year
A
pack full of toys means a sack full of joys
For millions of girls and for millions of boys
When Christmas Day is here
The most wonderful day of the year!
A
jack in the box waits for children to shout,
"Wake up, don't you know that it's time to come out!"
When Christmas Day is here
The most wonderful day of the year!
Toys
galore
Scattered on the floor
There's no room for more
And it's all because of Santa Claus!
A
scooter for Jimmy, a dolly for Sue
The kind that will even say "How do you do."
When Christmas Day is here
The most wonderful day of the year.
Mistletoe
and Holly
Oh
by gosh, by golly, it's time for mistletoe and holly,
Tasty pheasants, Christmas presents,
Country sides covered with snow.
Oh by gosh, by jingle,
It's time for carols and Kris Kringle.
Overeating,
merry greetings
From relatives you don't know.
Then comes that big night,
Giving the tree a trim.
You'll hear voices by starlight
Singing yuletide hollers...
Oh
by gosh, by golly,
It's time for mistletoe and holly,
Fancy ties and Grandma's pies
And folks stealing a kiss or two,
As they whisper Merry Christmas to you.
Oh
Little Town of Bethlehem
O
little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee to-night.
For
Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
How
silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him, still
The dear Christ enters in.
Where
children pure and happy
Pray to the blessed Child,
Where misery cries out to thee,
Son of the mother mild;
Where charity stands watching
And faith holds wide the door,
The dark night wakes, the glory breaks,
And Christmas comes once more.
O
holy Child of Bethlehem!
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter in,
Be born in us to-day.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel!

Let
There Be Peace on Earth
Let
There Be Peace on Earth and let it begin with me.
Let There Be Peace on Earth, the peace that was meant to be!
With God as our Father, brothers all are we.
Let me walk with my brother in perfect harmony.
Let
peace begin with me. Let this be the moment now.
With ev'ry breath I take, let this be my solemn vow;
To take each moment and live each moment in peace eternally!
Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me!

Let
It Snow
Oh
the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
It
doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I've bought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
When
we finally kiss goodnight,
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.
The
fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bying,
But as long as you love me so,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Lyrics by Sammy Cahn
Joy
to the World
Joy
to the world! the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
and heaven and nature sing,
and heaven and nature sing,
and heaven, and heaven and nature sing.
Joy
to the earth! the Savior reigns;
Let men their songs employ;
while fields and floods,
rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
No
more let sins and sorrows grow,
nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessing flow
far as the curse is found,
far as the curse is found,
far as, far as the curse is found.
He
rules the world with truth and grace,
and makes the nations prove
the glories of His righteousness,
and wonders of His love,
and wonders of His love,
and wonders, wonders of His love.
THE
Holly and the Ivy
The
holly and the ivy,
When they are both full grown,
Of all trees that are in the wood,
The holly bears the crown:
O, the rising of the sun,
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ,
Sweet singing in the choir.
The
holly bears a blossom,
As white as lily flow'r,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
To be our dear Saviour: Refrain
The
holly bears a berry,
As red as any blood,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
To do poor sinners good: Refrain
The
holly bears a prickle,
As sharp as any thorn,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
On Christmas Day in the morn: Refrain
The
holly bears a bark,
As bitter as the gall,
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
For to redeem us all: Refrain
The
holly and the ivy,
When they are both full grown,
Of all trees that are in the wood,
The holly bears the crown: Refrain
I
Heard the Bells on
Christmas Day
I
heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old familiar carols play.
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of Peace on earth, good will to men.
I
thought how as the day had come
The belfries of all Christendom
Had roll'd along th' unbroken song
Of Peace on earth, good will to men.
And
in despair, I bow'd my head:
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong and mocks the song,
Of Peace on earth, good will to men."
Then
pealed the bells more loud and deep;
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With Peace on earth, good will to men."
Have
Yourself a
Merry Little Christmas
Have
yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight
Have
yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.
Here
we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.
Through
the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star
upon the highest bough.
And have yourself
A merry little Christmas now.

HARK
THE HERALD
Hark!
the herald angels sing
Glory to the new-born King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th' angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem!
Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the new-born King!
Christ,
by highest heaven adored;
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold him come,
Offspring of the Virgin's womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
Hail the incarnate Deity,
Pleased as man with man to dwell;
Jesus, our Emmanuel! Refrain
Mild
he lays his glory by,
Born that man no more may die,
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
Risen with healing in his wings,
Light and life to all he brings,
Hail, the Sun of Righteousness!
Hail, the heaven-born Prince of Peace! Refrain
Come,
Desire of nations come,
Fix in us Thy humble home;
Rise, the Woman's conquering Seed,
Bruise in us the Serpent's head.
Adam's likeness now efface:
Stamp Thine image in its place;
Second Adam, from above,
Reinstate us in thy love. Refrain
GOOD
KING WENCELAS
Good
King Wencelas looked out
On the feast of Stephen,
When the snow lay round about,
Deep and crisp and even.
Brightly shown the moon that night,
Though the frost was cruel,
When a poor man came in sight,
Gathering winter fuel.
Hither,
page, and stand by me.
If thou know it telling:
Yonder peasant, who is he?
Where and what his dwelling?
Sire, he lives a good league hence,
Underneath the mountain,
Right against the forest fence
By Saint Agnes fountain.
Bring
me flesh, and bring me wine.
Bring me pine logs hither.
Thou and I will see him dine
When we bear the thither.
Page and monarch, forth they went,
Forth they went together
Through the rude wind's wild lament
And the bitter weather.
Sire,
the night is darker now,
And the wind blows stronger.
Fails my heart, I know not how.
I can go no longer.
Ark my footsteps my good page,
Tread thou in them boldly:
Thou shalt find the winter's rage
Freeze thy blood less coldly.
In
his master's step he trod,
Where the snow lay dented.
Heat was in the very sod
Which the saint had printed.
Therefore, Christian men, be sure,
Wealth or rank possessing,
Ye who now will bless the poor
Shall yourselves find blessing.
FROSTY
THE SNOWMAN
Frosty
the snowman was a jolly happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a button nose,
And two eyes made out of coal.
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say,
He was made of snow but the children
know how he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic in that
Old silk hat they found.
For when they placed it on his head,
He began to dance around.
O,
Frosty the snowman
Was alive as he could be,
And the children say he could laugh
And play just the same as you and me.
Thumpetty thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump,
Look at Frosty go.
Thumpetty thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump,
Over the hills of snow.
Frosty
the snowman knew
The sun was hot that day,
So he said, "Let's run and
we'll have some fun
now before I melt away."
Down to the village,
With a broomstick in his hand,
Running here and there all
Around the square saying,
Catch me if you can.
He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop.
And he only paused a moment when
He heard him holler "Stop!"
For
Frosty the snowman
Had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye saying,
"Don't you cry,
I'll be back again some day."
Thumpetty thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump,
Look at Frosty go.
Thumpetty thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump,
Over the hills of snow.
FROM
HEAVEN ABOVE
From
heaven above to earth I come,
To bear good news to every home,
Glad tidings of great joy I bring,
Whereof I now will gladly sing.
To
you this night is born a Child
Of Mary, chosen mother mild;
This little Child, of lowly birth,
Shall be the joy of all the earth.
Glory
to God in highest heaven,
Who unto us His Son hath given!
While angels sing with pious mirth,
A glad New Year to all the earth.
DO
YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR?
Said
the night wind to the little lamb,
"Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky, little lamb,
Do you see what I see?
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite,
With a tail as big as a kite."
Said
the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
"Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song high above the trees
With a voice as big as the the sea,
With a voice as big as the the sea."
Said
the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
"Do you know what I know?
In your palace warm, mighty king,
Do you know what I know?
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold--
Let us bring him silver and gold,
Let us bring him silver and gold."
Said
the king to the people everywhere,
"Listen to what I say!
Pray for peace, people, everywhere,
Listen to what I say!
The Child, the Child sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light,
He will bring us goodness and light."

Now in flesh appearing; Refrain

Away
in a Manager

Away
in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
The
cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
I love thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky,
And stay by my side until morning is nigh.
Be
near me Lord Jesus,
I ask thee to stay.
Close by me forever,
And love my I pray.
Bless
all the dear children,
In thy tender care.
And take them to heaven,
To be with thee there.

Why these songs of happy cheer?
What great brightness did you see?
What glad tiding did you hear? Refrain

Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the new-born King. Refrain

him in a manger laid
Whom the angels praise above;

While we raise our hearts in love. Refrain
 THE
CROSSROADS
OF LIFE
by: Pastor Max Solbrekken,
D.D.
"Stand
ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old Paths wherein is the
good way and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.
But they said, we will not walk therein." (Jeremiah 6:16)
The
prophet Jeremiah had a
solution for the restlessness and fears that has beset the human
family ever since the fall of Adam and Eve in Garden of Eden!
He had the answer to the turmoil, upheaval and injustice that
has afflicted multitudes across the globe. Jeremiah has
a message from Almighty God for the great problems facing the
masses of sinful, guilty and hurting mankind!
There
are Biblical Solutions to Life's Difficult Situations! There
are answers to the life-long problems caused by disobedience to
the law of loving God with the whole heart, soul and spirit, and
our neighbour as ourselves!
WE
HAVE A SIN PROBLEM!
The
real problem facing humanity is man is propensity to disobey, hate,
demean, and harm our fellowman. The real problem is not the
neighbour you dislike, the corruption in government, or the thief
who has ransacked your home. The truth is plain and simple:
"We have a sin problem."
The
Holy Bible states, "For all have sinned, and come short of
the glory of God." (Romans 3:23); "But now being
made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit
unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin
is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ
our Lord." (Romans 6: 22, 23)
Sin
is disobedience against God and His Word. It is breaking
God's Laws or Commandments. From the original Greek and
Hebrew Scriptures, the Bible has several words for sin, one being
'transgression' and another is 'iniquity.' Sin is "Transgression of
God's Law."
Sin
is also defined as 'missing the mark' of the standard our Lord has
set for us. We are all sinners by birth, by nature
and by choice! Jesus Christ is perfect and He is the
standard by which we must measure ourselves. Sin comes from
the inner man, which was depraved from birth.
Jesus
said, "But those things which proceed out of the mouth
come forth from the heart, and they defile the man. For out
of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries,
fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. These are
the things which defile a man but to eat with unwashen hands
defileth not a man." (Matthew 15:19)
Sin
separates man from God. The Bible states: "But your
iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins
have hid his face from you, that He will not hear." (Isaiah
59:2)
Sin
is unbelief, which rejects and denies God's Word: "He
that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not
is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of
the only begotten Son of God." (John 3:18)
JEREMIAH'S
SOLUTION!
"Stand
ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old Paths wherein is the
good way and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.
But they said, we will not walk therein." (Jeremiah 6: 16)
Go
down to the crossroads and see where each road leads. Don't
get on a road that takes you to nowhere or to dangerous places.
Don't try something new just because someone has hyped it to you.
They may have a sinister motive, like getting you hooked on drugs
or lead you into a life of gambling. Getting on the wrong
road could destroy your future and eventually lead to a lost
eternity.
The
old Paths speaks of a true and tested lifestyle of love, caring,
family, honesty, righteousness and compassion. Yet, as the
prophet declared, "But they said, we will not walk therein."
How
true that is, even today! People can hear the message of
God's love and compassion repeatedly and even believe it, but
allow themselves to be drawn into a worldly and a dangerous
lifestyle!
SINNER
: STOP, LOOK & LISTEN!
Sinner,
backslider: Stop, look and listen. There may be real
trouble coming down the tracks heading toward you! In your
fevered pace of seeking pleasure, having so-called fun, stop in
your pursuit of love, happiness, gain, position and place.
Stop long enough to evaluate what is going on in your life and the
world about you. Check out the consequences of the long term
benefits or negative results!
Make
an informed decision to return to the Old Path of Righteousness
through a determined serious return to God through Jesus Christ
our Lord. You will then have guaranteed your future for time
and eternity instead of having sold out to Satan only to have your
future hijacked and your salvation despoiled!
The
end results gained from walking on the old Path are enormous.
It pays in "rest for our souls." It pays in peace, joy,
love, forgiveness, guidance, spiritual power, divine healing,
eternal life and Heaven forever!
Peace:
"Seven times a day do I praise Thee because of Thy righteous
judgments. Great peace have they which love Thy law: and nothing
shall offend them." (Psalms 119: 164, 165)
Jesus
said: "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as
the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be
troubled, neither let it be afraid." (John 14: 27).
St.
Paul stated: "And the peace of God, which passeth all
understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ
Jesus." (Philippians 4: 7)
Love:
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have
everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to
condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be
saved." (John 3: 16, 17)
St.
John declares: "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of
God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He
that loveth not knoweth not God, for God is love." (1 John
4:7,8)
Forgiveness:
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us
our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John
1: 8): "In Whom we have redemption through
His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His
grace." (Eph. 1:7)
Holy
Ghost Baptism: "John answered, saying unto them all,
I indeed baptize you with water, but One mightier than I cometh,
the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: He shall
baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire." (Luke 3:16);
Jesus said: "But ye shall receive power after that the Holy
Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in
Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the
uttermost part of the earth." (Acts 1:8)
Led
by Holy Spirit: "Howbeit when He, the Spirit of
Truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not
speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He
speak: and He will show you things to come. He shall glorify Me:
for He shall receive of Mine, and shall shown it unto you. All
things that the Father hath are Mine: therefore said I, that ye
shall take of Mine, and shall show it unto you." (John 16:
13-15)
Divine
Healing: "And He said
unto them, Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel unto
every creature, He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall be damned, And these signs shall
follow them that believe; In My name shall they cast out devils;
they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents and
if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall
lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." (Mark 16: 14-18)
Fellowship
in Christ: "That which we have we have seen and heard
declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and
truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus
Christ. But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we
have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ
His Son cleanseth us from all sin." (1 John 1:3,7)
"And
what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the
temple of the Living God, as God hath said, I will dwell in them,
and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My
people. Wherefore come ye out from among them, and be ye separate,
saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will
receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my
sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." (2 Corinthians 6:16-18)
Eternal
Life: "And this is eternal Life, that they may know
Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent."
(John 17: 3); "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them and they
follow Me: And I give unto the eternal life; and they shall never
perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My Father's
hand." (John 10: 27, 28)
"And
this is the record that God hath given to us eternal life, and
this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he
that hath not the Son hath life. These things have I written unto
you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that they may know
that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of
the Son of God." (1 John 5: 11-13)
ALL
OTHER ROADS!
All
other roads lead to Hell and destruction; heartbreak, torment,
sorrows, prison, dead-end! The Bible says: "There is a way that
seemeth right to a man but the end thereof are the ways of
death." (Proverbs 14:25);
"By
faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the
son of Pharaoh's daughter; choosing rather to suffer affliction
with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a
season." (Hebrews 11:24,256:23)
SIN
OF BACKSLIDING!
St.
Paul wrote about the awesome responsibility preachers have to
declare the whole truth and not weaken the Gospel through
compromise. He warned about the deadly sin of backsliding and how
to come back to the Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ. Like the
Prodigal Son, it takes repentance and a willingness to turn back
to God, forsaking sin and evil!
'For
though I preach the Gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for
necessity is laid upon me: yea, woe is me, if I preach not the
Gospel. But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection:
lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself
should be a castaway."
(1 Corinthians 9: 16,27)
Almighty
God calls us back to Him, if any are guilty of straying from His
Word; "Come now, and let us reason together saith the Lord?
though your sins be as scarlet they shall be as white as snow;
though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."
(Isaiah 1:18).
JESUS
calls us all: "Come unto ME, all ye that labour and
are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you,
and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall
find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is
light." (Matt.hew 11: 28-30)
:All
that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me; and him that cometh to
Me, I will in no wise cast out." (John 6: 37); "Behold, I
stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open
the door, I will come in to him, and he will with Me."
(Revelation 3:20)
I
PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS!
I
stood in a courtroom filled to capacity with every race and nation
all staring right at me. The judge walked in, took His seat and my
crimes began to read. I raised my head as I looked at Him, when He
said, "How do you plead?" I said, "I Plead the Blood!"
"I
plead the Blood of Jesus, against the crimes you have read. I
plead the blood of Jesus, they are covered as He said. For His
death on Calvary, assured me I am FREE. There is now, no
condemnation. Tis Jesus BLOOD I plead."
Then
He read out all my crimes. Listed them one by one. And I was so
ashamed of the awful things I had done. Then He looked again at
me, This awesome fearful Judge. He said, How do you plead? I said,
“I Plead the Blood!"
"I
plead the Blood of Jesus, against the crimes you have read. I
plead the blood of Jesus, they are covered as He said. For His
death on Calvary, assured me I am FREE. There is now, no
condemnation. Tis Jesus BLOOD I plead." AMEN.
WHAT MUST
I DO
TO BE SAVED?
Jesus
said, "Come unto Me all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)
Yes,
my dear friend, God is still in the business of setting men and
women free from their sins, sorrows, heartbreaks, fears and
troubles. In this age of frustrations, nervous tensions and
mental collapses, Jesus Christ is still granting peace to the
troubled, joy to the discouraged, strength to the weary and
healing to the sick!
 1
- YOU MUST ADMIT THAT YOU ARE A SINNER
The
Bible says, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of
God." (Rom. 3:23) "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have
turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the
iniquity of us all." (Isaiah 53:6)
2
- YOU MUST BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD
You
MUST believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that Jesus died
on the cross, was buried and rose again from the dead.
"That
whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal
life. He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that
believeth not is condemned already." (John 3:15,18) "Verily,
verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My word, and believeth on
Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into
condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." (John 5:24)
3
- YOU
MUST REPENT OF YOUR SINS
The
Bible says: "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise
perish." (Lu.13:3) "Let the wicked forsake his way and the
unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord,
and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will
abundantly pardon." (Isaiah 55:7)
4
- YOU MUST RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOUR
The
Bible says: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish,
but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
"Behold,
I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open
the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he
with Me." (Rev. 3:20) "He that hath the Son hath life: and he
that hath not the Son of God hath not life." (1 John 5:12)
5
- YOU MUST CONFESS JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD
The
Bible says: "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the
Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him
from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man
believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is
made unto salvation." (Romans 10:9-10)
"Whosoever
shall confess Me before men, him shall the Son of man confess
before the angels of God: But he that denieth Me before men shall
be denied before the angels of God." (Luke 12:8, 9)
HOW
DO I INVITE
JESUS CHRIST INTO MY LIFE?
Pray
to God, a prayer - from your heart.
Tell Him that you
are a sinner and that you need forgiveness. Tell him that
you believe Jesus Christ died for your sins. Tell him that
you are willing to change, to turn away from sin. Ask Jesus
Christ to come into your heart and life and be your personal
Saviour.
"But
as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons
of God, even to them that believe on his name." (John 1:12)
"Therefore
if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are
passed away; behold, all things are become new." (2
Corinthians 5:17)
If
you prayed and ask Jesus Christ into your heart - YOU HAVE NOW
RECEIVED THE GIFT OF SALVATION - YOU HAVE BECOME A CHILD OF GOD.
God Bless You.
