OzThoughts Monday 7th December 2009

In The Message Psalm 104, the final few verses make a wonderful response to God and His marvelous creation and his gift to us of salvation through his son, Jesus.

33Oh, let me sing to GOD all my life long,
sing hymns to my God as long as I live!
34Oh, let my song please him;
I'm so pleased to be singing to GOD.
35But clear the ground of sinners--
no more godless men and women!

O my soul, bless GOD!

The great words of “My Jesus, I love thee”. These make a great response to Jesus us babe of Bethlehem

My Jesus, I love thee, I know thou art mine,
For thee all the pleasures of sin I resign;
My gracious Redeemer, my Saviour art thou,
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

I love thee because thou hast first loved me,
And purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree;
I love thee for wearing the thorns on thy brow,
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

I will love thee in life, I will love thee in death,
And praise thee as long as thou lendest me breath;
And say, when the death-dew lies cold on my brow:
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

In mansions of Glory and endless delight,
I'll ever adore thee and dwell in thy sight;
I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow:
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
