Song Lyrics
Who You Say I Am
[Verse 1] Who am I that the highest King, would welcome me. I was lost but He brought me in. Oh His love for me. Oh His love for me.
[Chorus 1] Who the Son sets free, oh is free indeed. I’m a child of God. Yes I am.
[Verse 2] Free at last, He has ransomed me. His grace runs deep. While I was a slave to sin, Jesus died for me. Yes He died for me.
[Chorus 2] In my Father's house, there’s a place for me. I’m a child of God. Yes I am.
[Bridge] I am chosen not forsaken. I am who You say I am. You are for me not against me. I am who You say I am..
Love of God
[Verse] It’s so good I almost can’t believe it. Far beyond what hearts could ever dream. The God who set the galaxies in motion, Would descend to give His life for me. For what could make perfection bleed for sinners? What leads a King to pay so great a cost? All my life my heart will sing the answer. Only the love of God.
[Chorus] Singing oh how great is the love of God. He paid our debt on that rugged cross. For all our days we will sing our Saviour's praise. How great is the love of God.
[Verse] It’s so kind it leads us to repentance. It’s so bright the darkness has to flee. Hallelujah it cleared my guilty sentence. For I was bound but now I stand redeemed. For what could break the chains of any prison? What force could rob the power from the grave? What would trade my rags for heaven's riches? Only the love of God.
[Verse] Though I try my mind can’t comprehend it. It’s so high too marvellous for words. I could sing a million songs about it, And barely scratch the surface of Your worth. This all my life the banner I’ll be waving. My anthem cry no matter what may come. And when I rise to walk the streets of heaven, I’ll still be singing this song. For everything that You’ve done. How great the love of God.
The Other: Bear with Each Other
Romans 13:8 …love one another…
Romans 12:16 Live in harmony with each other
Ephesians 4:2 Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.
Ephesians 4:25-32
(v.25-27) So stop telling lies. Let us tell our neighbours the truth, for we are all parts of the same body. 26 And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27 for anger gives a foothold to the devil.
(v.29) Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.
(v.31-32) Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behaviour. 32 Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.
“All couples have differences and disagreements. Studies show the amount of disagreements are not related to marital happiness as much as how they are handled. Happy couples do not avoid disagreements, they resolve them while remaining respectful of each other, thereby strengthening their relationship.”
