12. PRAISE HIM! PRAISE HIM!
-
Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus our blessed Redeemer;
Sing, O earth, His wonderful love proclaim;
Hail Him! Hail Him! Highest archangels in glory,
Strength and honour give to His holy name.
Like a shepherd, Jesus will guard His children,
In His arms He carries them all day long;
O ye saints that dwell on the mountain of Zion,
Praise Him! Praise Him! ever in joyful song.
-
Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus our blessed Redeemer;
For our sins he suffer’d and bled and died;
He, our rock, our hope of eternal salvation,
Hail Him! Hail Him! Jesus the Crucified.
Loving Saviour, meekly enduring sorrow,
Crown’d with thorns that cruelly pierc’d His brow;
Once for us rejected, despis’d and forsaken,
Prince of Glory, ever triumphant now.
-
Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus our blessed Redeemer,
Heav’nly portals, loud with hosannahs ring;
Jesus, Saviour, reigneth forever and ever,
Crown Him! Crown Him! Prophet and Priest and King!
Death is vanquish’d! Tell it with joy, ye faithful,
Where is now thy victory, boasting rave?
Jesus lives! No longer thy portals are cheerless,
Jesus lives, the mighty and strong to save.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
