The Matchless Name of Jesus...

The Matchless Name of Jesus

Matt Boswell and Matt Papa

Praise to the matchless name of Jesus

Sing of His grace forevermore

Raise now an endless hallelujah

To the matchless name of Jesus Christ the Lord

We sing the name, the matchless name of Jesus

We hymn the name the angels long adore

From age to age, one chorus rings forevermore

To the matchless name of Jesus Christ the Lord

Come to the fountain of forgiveness

Run to the light of His great love

Join in the joy of this salvation

Now that echoes through the endless realms above

We sing the name, the matchless name of Jesus

We hymn the name the angels long adore

From age to age, one chorus rings forevermore

To the matchless name of Jesus Christ the Lord

Go to the corners of creation

Christ be the name that we proclaim

Go til His glory fills the nations

And the heavens with His everlasting praise

We sing the name, the matchless name of Jesus

We hymn the name the angels long adore

From age to age, one chorus rings forevermore

To the matchless name of Jesus Christ the Lord

All blessing and honor

And praise be to the Lamb

All glory forever more

Amen Amen Amen

Ascension of Christ...

And it came to pass, while He blessed them, He was parted from them, and carried up into heaven." -Luke 24:51

We have no corresponding experience to the events in Our Lord's life after the Transfiguration. From then onwards Our Lord's life' was altogether vicarious. Up to the time of the Transfiguration He had exhibited the normal perfect life of a man; from the Transfiguration onwards - Gethsemane, the Cross, the Resurrection - everything is unfamiliar to us. His Cross is the door by which every member of the human race can enter into the life of God; by His Resurrection He has the right to give eternal life to any man, and by His Ascension Our Lord enters heaven and keeps the door open for humanity.

On the Mount of Ascension the Transfiguration is completed. If Jesus had gone to heaven from the Mount of Transfiguration, He would have gone alone; He would have been nothing more to us than a glorious Figure. But He turned His back on the glory, and came down from the Mount to identify Himself with fallen humanity.

The Ascension is the consummation of the Transfiguration. Our Lord does now go back into His primal glory; but He does not go back simply as Son of God; He goes back to God as Son of Man as well as Son of God. There is now freedom of access for anyone straight to the very throne of God by the Ascension of the Son of Man. As Son of Man Jesus Christ deliberately limited omnipotence, omnipresence and omniscience in Himself. Now they are His in absolute full power. As Son of Man Jesus Christ has all power at the throne of God. He is King of kings and Lord of lords from the day of His Ascension until now. ...Oswald Chambers Image

Completely Known, Completely Loved...

 

Completely Known, Completely Loved-Matt Boswell, Matt Papa 

Completely known, completely loved

My heart is seen by God above

Should I now run? Dare hide my face?

When in His eyes there is only grace

Completely free, the shame is gone

The highest Judge took all my wrongs

And set them on His only Son

He bore my sin, I bear His love

Completely known, completely loved

I’m covered by my Savior’s blood

I’m robed in white and God is pleased

To see His Son, when He looks on me

Completely His, how can it be?

That God would set His heart on me

Loved not for works that I have done

But long before time had begun

Completely known, completely loved

I’m covered by my Savior’s blood

I’m robed in white and God is pleased

To see His Son, when He looks on me

Completely saved, the work is done

The curse, the grave, is overcome

For with that dawn there rose a King!

Now heaven’s smile shines over me

Completely known, completely loved

I’m covered by my Savior’s blood

I’m robed in white and God is pleased

To see His Son, when He looks on me

By Faith...

 

By Faith - Keith and Kristyn Getty

1. By faith we see the hand of God 

In the light of creation's grand design 

In the lives of those who prove His faithfulness 

Who walk by faith and not by sight 

2. By faith our fathers roamed the earth 

With the power of His promise in their hearts 

Of a holy city built by God's own hand 

A place where peace and justice reign 

We will stand as children of the promise 

We will fix our eyes on Him our soul's reward 

Till the race is finished and the work is done 

We'll walk by faith and not by sight 

3. By faith the prophets saw a day 

When the longed-for Messiah would appear 

With the power to break the chains of sin and death 

And rise triumphant from the grave 

4. By faith the church was called to go 

In the power of the Spirit to the lost 

To deliver captives and to preach good news 

In every corner of the earth 

We will stand as children of the promise 

We will fix our eyes on Him our soul's reward 

Till the race is finished and the work is done 

We'll walk by faith and not by sight 

5. By faith this mountain shall be moved 

And the power of the gospel shall prevail 

For we know in Christ all things are possible 

For all who call upon His name 

We will stand as children of the promise 

We will fix our eyes on Him our soul's reward 

Till the race is finished and the work is done 

We'll walk by faith and not by sight
