If you knew with absolute certainty that you’d be living forever in paradise after you die, don’t you think you’d share a shout of joy with anyone who would listen? Well, that’s what being a Christian is like.
I know we Christians annoy people who would rather not be reminded of the God who judges the world. We’re a thorn in the side of anyone who’d rather be his own king…or her own queen. Believe me when I say it doesn’t thrill us to know you can’t stand the sight or sound of us. But we’re called, by God, to share His message of Grace with the whole world.
If what I believe isn’t true, then there’s no good reason for a shout of joy in this life.
Because it’s full of cruelty, hatred, and death. And if that’s all there is, then let the time I have pass quickly.
But I know, beyond a shadow of any doubt God’s Word, found in the bestselling book of all time is true. That’s why I’m here day after day sharing it. I hope you find it changing your heart. If not, I have more work to do.
Your Word Is True
With a shout of joy
Let’s sing a brand new song
Praising God as we stand here in awe
And we worship Him.
He is our help and shield
Giving Grace where we once had the law.
With our instruments And overflowing joy
Send the words to the heavens above”
God forever stands…And He forever lives
And He promised us forever love.
Lord, we hope in You. We trust in You.
And we live in You. ‘Cause Your word is true.
Lord, we sing to you. We cling to you.
And we pray to you, ‘Cause Your word is true.
With our waiting souls
And optimistic words
Let’s remember that Jesus is right
All His work is done.
It’s done in perfect Truth,
And we’ll live, if we walk in His light.
