Today is the beginning of October and it is another day that Almighty God has given us to GIVE THANKS to our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus!  Over the past 60 plus years of ministry work, I have learned by experience that the shortest route to any victory is sincere, heartfelt, PRAISE and WORSHIP that is motivated by the Holy Spirit of the Living God!

Heavenly Father, I just want to tell You that I LOVE YOU!

We know that we love You, because YOU FIRST LOVED US!  We belong to You because You have chosen us, not because of who we are, but only because of WHO YOU ARE!  Thank You Lord for adopting me as one of Your Children!  Thank You Lord for the assurance that my name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life!

Oh How I Love Jesus!    by Frederick Whitfield, 1855

There is a Name I love to hear,
I love to sing its worth;
It sounds like music in my ear,
The sweetest Name on earth.

  • Refrain:
    Oh, how I love Jesus,
    Oh, how I love Jesus,
    Oh, how I love Jesus,
    Because He first loved me!
  •  

It tells me of a Savior’s love,
Who died to set me free;
It tells me of His precious blood,
The sinner’s perfect plea.   

It tells me of a Father’s smile
Beaming upon His child;
It cheers me through this little while,
Through desert, waste, and wild.

It tells me what my Father hath
In store for every day,
And though I tread a darksome path,
Yields sunshine all the way.

It tells of One whose loving heart
Can feel my deepest woe;
Who in each sorrow bears a part
That none can bear below.

It bids my trembling heart rejoice;
It dries each rising tear;
It tells me, in a “still small voice,”
To trust and never fear.

Jesus, the Name I love so well,
The Name I love to hear:
No saint on earth its worth can tell,
No heart conceive how dear.

This Name shall shed its fragrance still
Along this thorny road,
Shall sweetly smooth the rugged hill
That leads me up to God.

And there with all the blood-bought throng,
From sin and sorrow free,
I’ll sing the new eternal song
Of Jesus’ love for me.
