I want to tell you a story!
I want to tell you a story that has been told over and over again, in so many different ways. A story of redemption. A story of agony, but happiness; A story of mourning and rejoicing; and most of all a story of love.
So I am going to tell this story in yet another way, with yet other characters. Because I want to tell the story of redemption to all people. And everyone around us.
Join me as I tell the story of Redemption.
Here is an updated song:
I will be your Shield
My child are you discouraged,
by the sorrows of the day?
Does it seem that life is troubling;
the skies have turned to gray?
Don't forget I gave you promises,
to guide you every hour.
In the moment of your heartbreak,
let me show you my great power!
And I will be your shield, When the battle rages on.
And I will be your light, when the way ahead is long.
Just place your life completely in my hands.
I know it won't be easy,
I never said it would.
But my grace will always be there;
My plans for you are good.
Remember that my weaknesses,
are perfect in my sight,
only when you give them to me,
can I turn them into might.
And I will be your shield, When the battle rages on.
And I will be your light, when the way ahead is long.
Just place your life completely in my hands.
And someday you'll understand,
why I sent this trial
and someday you will see the end,
and know it's all worthwhile!
And I will be your shield, When the battle rages on.
And I will be your light, when the way ahead is long.
Just place your life completely in my hands.
How Deep the Father's Love
How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory
Verse 2
Behold the Man upon a cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished
Verse 3
I will not boast in anything
No gifts no pow’r no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
