I stand amazed in the presence Of Jesus the Nazarene, And wonder how He could love me, A sinner, condemned, unclean. Refrain: How marvelous! How wonderful! And my song shall ever be: How marvelous! How wonderful Is my Savior's love for me! 2. For me it was in the garden He prayed: "Not my will, but Thine." He had no tears for His own griefs, But sweat-drops of blood for mine. (Refrain) 3. In pity angels beheld Him, And came from the world of light To comfort Him in the sorrows He bore for my soul that night. (Refrain) 4. He took my sins and my sorrows, And He made them his very own; He bore the burden to Calvary, And suffered and died alone. (Refrain) 5. When with the ransomed in glory His face I at last shall see, 'Twill be my joy through the ages To sing of His love for me. (Refrain) |
Silent Night/911 "I Was There"
You say you'll never forget where you were when you heard the news on September 11, 2001. Neither will I. I was on the 110th floor, in a smoke filled room with a man who called his wife to say goodbye. I held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the peace to say, "Honey… I'm not going to make it, but it's okay. I'm ready to go." I was with his wife when he called as she fed breakfast to their children. I held her up as she tried to understand his words, and as she realized he wasn't coming home that night. I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor, when a woman cried out to Me for help, "I've been knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years." I said, "of course I will show you the way home--only believe in ME now." I was at the base of the building when the priest ministered to the injured and devastated souls. I took him home to tend his flock in heaven. He heard My voice and answered. I was on all four of those planes. In every seat, with every prayer. I was with the crew as they were over taken. I was in the very hearts of the believers there, comforting and assuring them that their faith had saved them. I was in Texas…Kansas…London. I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news. Did you sense Me? I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew every name, though not all know Me. Some met me for the first time on the 86th floor. Some sought Me with their last breath. Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the smoke and flames. "Come to Me; this way; take My hand." Some chose for the final time to ignore Me…BUT I was there. I did not place you in the building that day. You may not know why, but I do. However if you were there in that explosive moment in time, would you have reached for Me? September 11, 2001 was not the end of the journey for you. But someday your journey will end and I'll be there for you as well. Seek Me *now* while I may be found. Then at any moment, you know you're ready to go. I will be in the stairwell of your final moments. Remember.... I LOVE YOU. "I Was made to Love You" - Toby Mac The dream is fading, now I'm staring at the door I know its over cause my feet have hit the cold floor Check my reflection, I ain't feelin what I see It's no mystery Whatever happened to a passion I could live for What became of the flame that made me feel more And when did I forget that...
