Thomas Fuller - Knowledge

If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.

 ~Thomas Fuller

 

Proverbs 8:10-11

Choose my instruction instead of silver,

 knowledge rather than choice gold, 

for wisdom is more precious than rubies, 

and nothing you desire can compare with her. 

~Proverbs 8:10-11

 

Jesus Loves Even Me

JESUS LOVES EVEN ME

by

Phillip R. Bliss

I am so glad that our Fa­ther in Heav’n

Tells of His love in the Book He has giv’n;

Wonderful things in the Bi­ble I see,

This is the dear­est, that Je­sus loves me.

Refrain

I am so glad that Je­sus loves me,

Jesus loves me, Je­sus loves me.

I am so glad that Je­sus loves me,

Jesus loves ev­en me.

Though I forget Him, and wan­der away,

Still He doth love me wher­ev­er I stray;

Back to His dear lov­ing arms I do flee,

When I re­mem­ber that Je­sus loves me.

Oh, if there’s on­ly one song I can sing,

When in His beau­ty I see the great King,

This shall my song through eter­ni­ty be,

Oh, what a won­der that Je­sus loves me!

Jesus loves me, and I know I love Him;

Love brought Him down my poor soul to re­deem;

Yes, it was love made Him die on the tree;

Oh, I am certain that Je­sus loves me!

If one should ask of me, how can I tell?

Glory to Je­sus, I know ve­ry well!

God’s Ho­ly Spir­it with mine doth agree,

Constantly wit­ness­ing Je­sus loves me.

In this as­sur­ance I find sweet­est rest,

Trusting in Je­sus, I know I am blessed;

Satan, dis­mayed, from my soul now doth flee,

When I just tell him that Je­sus loves me.

 

William Arthur Ward - Prayer

The pulse of prayer is praise. 

The heart of prayer is gratitude. 

The voice of prayer is obedience. 

The arm of prayer is service. 

~William Arthur Ward

 

Give Thanks

 

Give thanks in all circumstances; 

for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

 ~1 Thessalonians 5:18

Anna B. Warner - Jesus Loves Me

JESUS LOVES ME

by 

Anna B. Warner

Jesus loves me! this I know,

For the Bible tells me so;

Little ones to Him belong;

They are weak, but He is strong.

Jesus loves me! He who died

Heaven's gates to open wide!

He will wash away my sin,

Let His little child come in.

Jesus loves me! loves me still,

Tho' I'm very weak and ill;

From His shining throne on high,

Comes to watch me where I lie.

Jesus loves me! He will stay

Close beside me all the way;

If I love Him, when I die

He will take me home on high.

Refrain:

Yes, Jesus loves me!

Yes, Jesus loves me!

Yes, Jesus loves me!

The Bible tells me so.

 

Luke 18:16

 

But Jesus called the children to him and said,

 “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, 

for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

~ Luke 18:16

Great Jehovah

 

GUIDE ME O, THOU GREAT JEHOVAH

by

William Williams

Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah, 

Pilgrim through this barren land;

I am weak, but Thou art mighty,

Hold me with Thy pow’rful hand.

Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven,

Feed me till I want no more;

Feed me till I want no more.

Open now the crystal fountain,

Whence the healing stream doth flow;

Let the fire and cloudy pillar

Lead me all my journey through.

Strong Deliv’rer, strong Deliv’rer,

Be Thou still my Strength and Shield;

Be Thou still my Strength and Shield.

Lord, I trust Thy mighty power,

Wondrous are Thy works of old;

Thou deliver’st Thine from thralldom,

Who for naught themselves had sold:

Thou didst conquer, Thou didst conquer

Sin and Satan and the grave,

Sin and Satan and the grave.

When I tread the verge of Jordan,

Bid my anxious fears subside;

Death of death and hell’s Destruction,

Land me safe on Canaan’s side.

Songs of praises, songs of praises,

I will ever give to Thee;

I will ever give to Thee.

Martin Luther - The Guide

I know not the way God leads me, but well do I know my Guide.

 ~Martin Luther

 

John 10:11

“I am the good shepherd. 

The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

~John 10:11

 

Fanny Crosby - More Like Jesus

 

MORE LIKE JESUS WOULD I BE

by

Fanny Crosby

More like Jesus would I be,

Let my Savior dwell with me;

Fill my soul with peace and love,

Make me gentle as a dove;

More like Jesus, while I go,

Pilgrim in this world below;

Poor in spirit would I be;

Let my Savior dwell in me.

If He hears the raven’s cry,

If His ever watchful eye

Marks the sparrows when they fall,

Surely He will hear my call:

He will teach me how to live,

All my sinful thoughts forgive;

Pure in heart I still would be;

Let my Savior dwell in me.

More like Jesus when I pray,

More like Jesus day by day;

May I rest me by His side,

Where the tranquil waters glide:

Born of Him, through grace renewed,

By His love my will subdued,

Rich in faith I still would be;

Let my Savior dwell in me.

John Milton

The end of all learning is to know God, 

and out of that knowledge 

to love and imitate Him. 

~John Milton

 

Ephesians 5:1-2

Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. 

And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, 

a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

~Ephesians 5:1-2
