Saved ~

I make no excuses,
 no false pretense
 I am just a sinner
 I have no defense.

Born of rebellion,
 conceived in sin
 envy and spite
 were my closest kin.

Dead in trespasses,
 deceitful to the core
 greed and pride oozed
 out of every pore.

Disobedient to God,
 just like in Eve’s story
 wickedness and evil
 stole all of His glory.

I make no excuse,
 a sinner ~ that I am
 but, I’ve been saved
 by the blood of the Lamb!

~~~~~~~~~

John 1:29
  King James Version

The next day John seeth Jesus
 coming unto him, and saith,
 Behold the Lamb of God,
 which taketh away the sin
 of the world.

1 Peter 1:19
  King James Version

“But with the precious
 blood of Christ,
  as of a lamb without
 blemish and without spot:

The Joy of Knowing Jesus ~

There's nothing quite like,
the joy of knowing Jesus
how in every circumstance
He is always with us.

No matter the situation,
Jesus is always there
our happiness is in knowing
our burdens He will bear.

In times of want and need,
whatever be our condition
our gladness is in knowing
He'll supply each provision.

When feeling overwhelmed,
by so many troubling things
our peace comes from knowing
the joy ~ Jesus brings!
