The Lord's Side

WHO IS ON THE LORD'S SIDE?

by

Frances R. Havergal

Who is on the Lord’s side?

Who will serve the King?

Who will be His helpers,

other lives to bring?

Who will leave the world’s side?

Who will face the foe?

Who is on the Lord’s side?

Who for Him will go?

By Thy call of mercy,

by Thy grace divine,

we are on the Lord’s side.

Savior, we are Thine.

Not for weight of glory,

not for crow and palm,

enter we the army,

raise the warrior psalm;

but for love that claimeth

lives for whom He died.

He whom Jesus nameth

must be on His side.

By Thy love constraining,

by Thy grace divine,

we are on the Lord's side.

Savior, we are Thine.

Jesus, Thou hast bought us,

not with gold or gem,

but with Thine own life-blood,

for Thy diadem.

With Thy blessing filling

each who comes to Thee,

Thou hast made us willing,

Thou hast made us free.

By Thy grand redemption,

by Thy grace divine,

We are on the Lord’s side.

Savior, we are Thine!

Fierce may be the conflict,

strong may be the foe,

but the King’s own army,

none can overthrow;

Round His standard ranging,

Vict'ry is secure,

for His truth unchanging

makes the triumph sure.

Joyfully enlisting,

by Thy grace divine,

We are on the Lord’s side.

Savior, we are Thine

 

The Father's Handiwork

Jesus Christ drew all his illustrations from his father's handiwork, 

from sparrows and flowers, things that none of us dream of noticing; 

we take our illustrations from things that compel attention. 

When we are born from above the Spirit of God does not give us new ideals, 

we begin to see how ideal the real is; and as we pay attention to the things near at hand, 

we find them to be the gate of heaven to our souls. 

~Oswald Chambers

 

Morning Watch

The morning watch is essential. You must not face the day until you have faced God, 

nor look into the face of others until you have looked into His. 

~Streams in the Desert

 

Corrie Ten Boom - Thank You Lord Jesus

Thank you Lord Jesus, 

that you came to save sinners, to make them happy,

 to set them free, to give them peace instead of discord. 

Thank you that he or she who for the first time today understood 

that he or she can come may know that your hand is stretched 

out toward him, toward her, and that you are saying: "Come!

~Corrie Ten Boom

 

Peacemakers

Peacemakers who sow in peace

reap a harvest of righteousness.

~James 3:18

 

Romans 15:13

 

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, 

so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. 

~Romans 15:13

Our Job

God is not saving the world; it is done.

 Our business is to get men and women to realize it. 

~Oswald Chambers

 

Attitudes

 

Let others report bad news; we'll share the good news.

~Woodrow Kroll

Wisdom

 

As we trust God to give us wisdom for today's decisions,

He will lead us a step at a time into what He 

wants us to be doing in the future. 

Theodore Epp

 

Witnessing

Witnessing is not something we do; it is something we are.

Conversation

Let your conversation be always full of grace,

 seasoned with salt, so that you may 

know how to answer everyone. 

~Colossians 4:6

 

Prayer and Intercession - Martyn Lloyd Jones

Prayer is always a great feature of every revival, 

great prayer meetings, intercession hour after hour. 

They pray for these people by name 

and they plead, and they will not let God go, as it were.

    ~Martyn Lloyd-Jones
