Welcome To November: Loopholes

Text: Matthew 11:28-30; James 4:7-10; 1 Peter 5:6-7

From The Truth Media family,

Happy New Month!!!

I searched and searched to find loopholes

Within, without the life I own,

Anger, malice, hate and strife

Had turned my heart into a stone

I felt my greed was justified,

I thought to hurt as well was right;

I failed to see the doom insight,

My soul was weak and dark as night

I lost it all – my joy, my peace

I’d gone too far to go back now;

My days were brief and fraught with pain,

I needed help but knew not how

Then came someone who told me how

A savior from above had come to die

To save mankind, to save my kind:

A slave to sin who lives to sigh

At first I thought it strange a man could die

To save a wretch, a git like me;

In disbelief I mocked the thought

That the savior from above could set me free

My misery grew to deep unrest,

Within fury had gained control;

I’d lost my heart to unknown fears

That soon will death surmount my soul

My days were brief and fraught with pain,

I needed help but knew not how

And then the thought arose again

To meet the Lord and humbly bow

He called my name and held my hands,

He showed me all He did for me:

The Cross, His blood, the scar, His hands;

He gave it all to set me free

I gave my life to Him that day

My chains, my pains and woes were gone;

He gave me joy and peace of mind

My days of groan and grief were done

I know the Lord, I know Jesus

He saved and washed my sins away;

He redeemed me, He rescued me

And leads me through His righteous way

He’s meek, he’s kind and gladly saves

When you in faith yield unto the Lord;

Believe in Him; He won’t fail you

For there’s nothing He can’t afford

Now when I search to find loopholes

Within, without the life I once own;

I see mercy, patience, faith and love

And grace that tells I’m not alone
