No sweeter name than the name of Jesus

You are the light to the darkness around me
You are the hope to the hopeless and broken
You are the only truth and the way

No sweeter name than the name of Jesus

Grace, grace, God's grace...
grace that will pardon and cleanse within
Grace, grace, God's grace...
Grace that is greater than all our sin!

Marvelous grace of our loving Lord
Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt!
Yonder on Calvary's mount outpoured
There where the blood of the
Lamb was spilt

Grace, grace, God's grace...
grace that will pardon and cleanse within
Grace, grace, God's grace...
Grace that is greater than all our sin!

Dark is the stain that we cannot hide
What can avail to wash it away?
Look! there is flowing a crimson tide
Whiter than snow you may be today

Grace, grace, God's grace...
grace that will pardon and cleanse within
Grace, grace, God's grace...
Grace that is greater than all our sin!

Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,
Freely bestowed on all who believe!
You that are longing to see His face
Will you this moment
His grace receive?

Grace, grace, God's grace...
grace that will pardon and cleanse within
Grace, grace, God's grace...
Grace that is greater than all our sin!

There is no height or depth; neither life nor death
Can take me from all that I find
Here now in Your glory Lord

No other pow'rs or love; the things of now or to come
There's nothing on earth in this life
That could ever separate us Lord

Your love is never ending; to Your hands we surrender
Where all our sins are washed away
Your grace beyond reason has paid for our freedom
We're made alive in You

We run to Your throne where we belong
Every heart will sing that Jesus is Lord
Casting all else aside for the joy of our Christ
Let Your glory fall
Our hearts are filled with Your fire

No other pow'rs or love; the things of now or to come
There's nothing on earth in this life
That could ever separate us Lord

Your love is never ending; to Your hands we surrender
Where all our sins are washed away
Your grace beyond reason has paid for our freedom
We're made alive in You

We run to Your throne where we belong
Every heart will sing that Jesus is Lord
Casting all else aside for the joy of our Christ
Let Your glory fall
Our hearts are filled with Your fire

YOUR NAME
As morning dawns and evening fades
You inspire songs of praise
That rise from earth to touch Your heart
And glorify Your Name

Your Name, is a strong and mighty tower
Your Name, is a shelter like no other
Your Name, let the nations sing louder
‘Cause nothing has the power to save
But Your Name

Jesus, in Your Name we pray
Come and fill our hearts today
Lord, give us strength to live for You
And glorify Your Name

Your Name, is a strong and mighty tower
Your Name, is a shelter like no other
Your Name, let the nations Sing it louder
‘Cause nothing has the power to save
But Your Name

You thought of us before the world began to breathe
You knew our names
Before we came to be

You saw the very day
We’d fall away from You
How desperately we need to be redeemed

Lord Jesus
Come lead us
We’re desperate
For Your touch

Oh great and mighty One
With one desire we come
That You would reign
That You would reign in us

We’re offering up our lives
A living sacrifice
That you would reign
That You would reign in us

Spirit of the living God
Fall fresh again
Come search our hearts and
Purify our lives

We need Your perfect love
We need Your discipline
We’re lost unless You guide us
With Your light

Lord Jesus
Come lead us
We’re desperate
For Your touch

Oh great and mighty One
With one desire we come
That You would reign
That You would reign in us

We’re offering up our lives
A living sacrifice
That you would reign
That You would reign in us

We cry out for Your life to refine us
Cry out for Your love to define us
Cry out for Your mercy to keep us
Blameless until You return

Oh great and mighty One
With one desire we come
That You would reign
That You would reign in us

We’re offering up our lives
A living sacrifice
That you would reign
That You would reign in us

Sleeps, but rests not.
Loved, but loved not.
Tried to please, but pleased not.
Died as she lived - - ALONE!

Tombstone in Locke Cemetery, San Antonio, TX

We dial up, hook up, and log on, but we don’t really connect. We seek other ways to fill the hollow feeling inside. We turn to TV, alcohol, sports, hobbies or drugs.

We push our 50 hour work week to 60 or 65 hours-anything to numb the pain of loneliness. But it doesn’t work does it? The results prove temporary and shallow. Like a dark shadow, loneliness follows us.
-Peter Pintus

The anthem of the lonely heart has a third verse:
“No one needs me. The kids used to need me, the business once needed me, my spouse never needs me.”
Lonely people fight feelings of insignificance.

What do you do with such thoughts as:
“No one knows me, no one is near me, no one needs me.” How do you cope with such cries for significance?

Some stay busy; others stay drunk.
Some buy pets; others buy lovers.
Some seek therapy; and a few seek
God.
--Max Lucado
