Title: stopping at nothing Post by: ravenloche on November 03, 2009, 01:20:34 PM We have most of us heard the song nothing but the blood! A beautiful song,that tells the joy of the cross quite well. Now imagine ,if you will, where we would be if God had stopped at nothing: What can wash away my sin? nothing! what can make me whole again? nothing! We know full well that we are sinners saved by grace, we know full well that we deserve to die, we know full well that we have fallen far short of the glory of God. How wretched and poor would we be if God had stopped at nothing! Nothing to clean us from the stain of sin in our lives, nothing to make us a new creature in him.Nothing to lift the burden of guilt from our heart and our soul. What can wash away my sin? NOTHING! Lord help me, let me stand in your presence, to feel your love and know that I have been forgiven. What can wash away my sin? NOTHING! What can make me whole again? NOTHING! Remove this guilt, and shame, and let me stand in your presence. Fill this emptiness inside of me that only you can fill.Take out this heart of stone, and put in a heart of flesh. What can make me whole again? Nothing! What can change me from the harsh, bitter, vengeful person that the world as a whole believes that we are to be, and make me into the kind of person that I want to be? Thank you father that you did not stop at nothing! Thank you that you provided a means for me to get to know you in the fullness of your glory. What can wash away my sins? NOTHING but the blood of Jesus! What can make me whole again? NOTHING but the blood of Jesus! How precious is the flow that makes me white as snow. Thank you Lord for the cross of calvary, thank you that you died so that I could live. Thank you that there is a way to come boldly before your throne of grace that I might obtain a help and a mercy in time of need. Thank you for the words spoken on the cross: "IT IS FINISHED!" It is finished and our salvation was bought! It is finished and my joy was paid for!It is finished and I could stand under the flow of calvary,be washed in the blood, made whole again.Great is the Mercy of our loving father, who gave to us that which we did not deserve, so that we could give to Him the love, worship, and devotion that he does deserve!
