No God But Me

 

I have no God
but You, Lord

You are my Savior
so true

and when my pastures
are green, Lord

may I ever sing praise
to You.

*********

You alone are my God who is with me.

**********

“Yet I am the LORD your God
Ever since the land of Egypt,
And you shall know no God but Me;
For there is no savior besides Me.”

“I knew you in the wilderness,
In the land of great drought.”

“When they had pasture, they were filled,
They were filled and their heart was exalted;
Therefore they forgot Me.”

Hosea 13:4,5,6 NKJV

A Great Light

 

Help has come
we have a Savior

for unto us
Christ was born

bringing light to
our current darkness

and forever hope
each new dawn.

*********

You establish light in our darkness.

*********

“The people who walk in darkness
will see a great light.
For those who live in a land of deep darkness,
a light will shine . . .”

“For a child is born to us,
a son is given.
The government will be on his shoulders.
And He will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
His government and its peace
will never end.
He will rule with fairness and justice from the
throne of His ancestor David for all eternity.
The passionate commitment of the LORD of Heaven’s
Armies
will make this happen!”

Isaiah 9:2, 6-7

A Title

 

They placed a sign
above Your head

JESUS OF NAZARETH
KING OF THE JEWS

how blessed I am
to know You as

my Lord and Savior
Bringer of Good News.

***********

You establish who You are.

“Now Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was:
JESUS OF NAZARETH
KING OF THE JEWS.” John 19:19 NKJV

Of Me

 

You are of Me
and have overcome
he who is in
the world

confessing that I
have come in the flesh
testifying I’m Savior
of this world.

A laid down life is loved by God.

“You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in ypu is greater than he who is in the world. By this you know the Soirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us.” 1 John 2,4,14, 16 NKJV

How Can He Save Us?

“And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and valiant men went with him, whose hearts God had touched.” 1 Samuel 10:26
“But some rebels said, ‘How can this man save us?’ So they despised him and brought him no presents. But he held his peace.” 1 Samuel 10:27

This reminds me of another King who was despised.

Oh Lord, we pray to hold our peace among those who despise, that they might see with their own eyes all that You can do. And here’s a simple poem . . .

What A Savior Does

They despised the Man
that hung upon the cross

“He can’t even save Himself
how can He save us?”

And Jesus held His peace
in that crushing place

because that’s what the Savior does
He rescues us by grace.
