SUNDAYS WITH JOYCE

WORD FOR TODAY


Redemption
1. Angels interested in plan of redemption    1 Peter 1:12    Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from Heaven; which things the angels desire to look to.


2. Holy Spirit seals believers unto day of redemption    Ephesians 4:30    And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.


3.  Redeemed from sin    Titus 2:14    Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.


4. Rooted in God's love and compassion    John 3:16    For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.


5. Worst sinners can be saved    1 Tomothy 1 15,16    This is a faithful saying, and wiorthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.   Howbeit for this cause I have obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.


 


 


 


REDEMPTION SONG


Wake up from your drunken stupor and lethargy
God is not dead or mocked
He walks amongst us today
Your time of dallying is over
Dance and sing with flutes and timbrels of joy
Before the sinking sun sets on you
Rejoice and be glad in the Redeemer
Taste and see that he is good
Thy Mercy endureth for ever
His barns are overflowing with riches
And the windows to Heaven are flung open wide
The Day of the Lord is at hand
Seek him while he still can be found
He searches the hearts and loins of men
Nothing is hid from his all seeing gaze
His Rod and Staff are our comfort
The Good Shepherd takes care of his Flock
Give praise in Redemption's Song
Oh listen to the sound of his Angels
Singing and chanting their heavenly refrain
At the gates of the Celestial City
And Peter holds the Keys to the Kingdom
Where all tears are wiped from your eyes
And broken hearts are mended at once
All Promises are honoured in full
And the Lame dance like gazelles
The Blind see again with their eyes
Lepers are healed and restored
Rows of Saints and Martyrs in white
My Soul sing the praises of the Beloved
Before the Ark of the Covenant
As I stand in the Presence of the Awesome One
