      THE RESURRECTION IS EVERYTHING, ISN’T it? It’s a metaphor for the whole Christian life. Without it, what’s dead is just dead. Over. Finished. Buried forever. No hope of new life springing forth. But in Jesus, we have the promise that death is not the

      Dust in the Sunlight - Gary Blakeman

      Chosen

      I have chosen to follow Jesus

      Because He first chose me

      I have chosen to follow Jesus

      He made my eyes to see

      See the glory of His death

      His death up on the cross

      See that losing my sinful habits

      Would really be no loss

      Thank You, Jesus, for Your gift

      Your gift of love that day

      That day You died on the cross for me

      Forever I will say

      I have chosen to follow Jesus

      Because He first chose me

      I have chosen to follow Jesus

      He made my eyes to see

      See the love of God the Father

      See the risen Christ on high

      Feel the power of His Spirit

      A power you can’t deny

      All praises to my Jesus

      For the sight I have received

      The sight He has given me

      Since the day I first believed

      I have chosen to follow Jesus

      Because He first chose me

      I have chosen to follow Jesus

      He made my eyes to see

      Unchanged: The Holy One

      There are times when I am down

      Times I feel You’re not around

      When I feel like You aren’t there

      And I wonder if You really care

      Then I take refuge in Your word

      Unchanged since I first heard

      And I know You’ll never leave

      Then Your comfort I receive

      You never change, You are the same

      As You were from the beginning

      You are the Holy One!

      You are the Holy One!

      There are times when I’m elated

      So glad I’ve been created

      When I feel like You’re so near

      Like You’ve always been right here

      Then I rejoice in Your word

      Unchanged since I first heard

      And I know You’ll never leave

      Then your comfort I receive

      You never change, You are the same

      As You were from the beginning

      You are the Holy One!

      You are the Holy One!

      My feelings may change from day to day

      I know they can only lead me astray

      But Your word ever remains the same

      All glory to Your Holy Name!

      And so I revel in Your word

      Unchanged since I first heard

      And I know You’ll never leave

      Then Your comfort I receive

      You never change, You are the same

      As You were from the beginning

      You are the Holy One!

      You are the Holy One!

      Eden Restored

      The time is coming when time will end

      The time when to heaven all saints ascend

      The time when time will be no more

      The time all saints have been praying for

      That is when time will be abolished

      When all our halos will be polished

      When those asleep in Christ will lead

      And those alive in Christ proceed

      The time when time will lose all meaning

      When eternal peace we’ll be receiving

      When eternity will replace time for good

      Just as God has promised it would

      Be patient all ye saints that wait

      Be assured that the hour grows late

      The time of our Lord’s return

      The time for which we all yearn

      The time we’ve waited for from the first

      The time for which each of us does thirst

      Thirst for the coming of our Lord

      When we will receive our promised reward

      Eternity is what we seek

      With the One who is unique

      Forever more with our Lord

      Forever more in Eden restored

      Sunday Religion

      I love the Sunday service

      It’s a time I feel close to
