♫ TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS

PEB GARDENS - SPRING 2015

O soul, are you weary and troubled?

No light in the darkness you see?

There’s light for a look at the Savior,

And life more abundant and free.

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,

Look full in His wonderful face, 

And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, 

In the light of His glory and grace. 

Through death into life everlasting 

He passed, and we follow Him there; 

O’er us sin no more hath dominion 

For more than conqu’rors we are! 

His Word shall not fail you, He promised; 

Believe Him and all will be well; 

Then go to a world that is dying, 

His perfect salvation to tell

BLESSED IN CHRIST

PEB GARDENS - SPRING 2015

EPHESIANS 1:3-8

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will-- to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.

...be thankful.

And whatever you do,

HE INDEED IS GOOD!

GREENFIELD GARDEN - SPRING 2015

2 CHRONICLES 5:13-15

heart emoticon 

...in unison when the trumpeters and the singers were to make themselves heard with one voice to praise and to glorify the Lord, and when they lifted up their voice accompanied by trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and when they praised the Lord saying, 
“HE INDEED IS GOOD 
FOR HIS LOVINGKINDNESS IS EVERLASTING,” 
then the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud, so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, 
for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.

NASB

PRAISE GOD - HE HAS RISEN!

♫ TO GOD BE THE GLORY, GREAT THINGS HE HATH DONE

♫ 

To God be the glory, great things He hath done,

So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,

Who yielded His life our redemption to win,

And opened the life-gate that all may go in.

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, 

Let the earth hear His voice; 

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, 

Let the people rejoice; 

Oh, come to the Father, through Jesus the Son, 

And give Him the glory; great things He hath done. 

Oh, perfect redemption, the purchase of blood, 

To every believer the promise of God; 

The vilest offender who truly believes, 

That moment from Jesus a pardon receives. 

Great things He hath taught us, 
great things He hath done, 

And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son; 

But purer, and higher, and greater will be 

Our wonder, our transport when Jesus we see.

WORTHY IS THE LAMB

PEB GARDENS - SPRING 2015

REVELATION 5:11-14
heart emoticon 

I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: 

and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 

Saying with a loud voice,

 "WORTHY is the LAMB that was slain 
to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, 
and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing."

And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, 

and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, 

and all that are in them, heard I saying,
"Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power,
be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne,
and unto the Lamb for ever and ever."
And the four beasts said, "Amen."
And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
KJV

TO GAZE UPON THE BEAUTY OF THE LORD

PEB GARDENS - SPRING 2015

PSALM 27:4,6b

heart emoticon 
One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after:

that I may dwell in the house of the LORD 
all the days of my life,

to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD 

and to inquire in his temple...and 

I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy;

I will sing and make melody to the LORD.

THANKFUL FOR GOD'S LOVE

PEB GARDENS - SPRING 2015

1 JOHN 4:9-16 

heart emoticon 

In this the love of God was made manifest among us, 

that God sent his only Son into the world, 

so that we might live through him. 

In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. ...we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, 

God abides in him, and he in God. 

So we have come to know and 

to believe the love that God has for us. 

God is love, 

and whoever abides in love abides in God, 

and God abides in him.  

ESV
