You alone, dear Jesus are "El Shaddai", the strong Almighty God. You are our Nourisher, and our Strength Giver. You satisfy us because You pour Yourself into Your people's lives. Because You pour Yourself into our lives, You quiet us and give us rest. We need have no desires apart from You.
You alone are our strength and song. You part the waters for us as You say to us "When you pass through the waters I will be with you and the waters shall not overflow you." You set our feet upon solid ground and the enemy who pursues us drowns while seeking to destroy us. You bring us safely through the frightening times; our Victory You are. We have seen You raise people from the dead. Oh, Jesus, You were the first raised from the dead we saw with the eyes of faith. You are alive, our God and because You live, we shall also live and never die!
You are our Song, because the more we learn what You are like and how You love us, our hearts cannot help but sing! The joy of knowing You is without comparison.
You are our perpetual Light, precious God. You say, "I am the light of life, he who follows me shall not walk in darkness". How great is the darkness that covers the earth, but You light our way through the darkness and You are leading us to that Heavenly Home where no darkness dwells!
To spend eternity with You, our Sun of Righteousness, is to spend eternity in absolute bliss. No darkness dwells in You for You are perfectly Holy, Pure and Harmless. How great is the thought to spend eternity in everlasting safety in a land where ~nothing hurts or destroys.
You alone, Jesus, are our Healer. You make Your people whole. Often we have been ravished with sin, whether from others or ourselves. Our hurts have been very deep, but not so deep as to prevent You from coming and binding us up. Broken people we have been. Shattered lives, You put back together. You take the shattering of our lives and shine Your greatest light through cracks in our vessels that have been healed. The light of Your love and compassion shine greatest through the broken areas of our lives. We thank You, oh God, that You turn everything to our good, even the hurt and pain.
You, Jesus are our great Lover! As we go on in years walking with You, we know that You are the greatest Lover that walked this earth! Sinners flocked to You, the sick were healed by You, the broken cried out to You and You never turn away a soul that calls out to You in need. Everlasting kindness will be our portion in You. Oh, Jesus, how we long for Your love! For those of us who have known the passion of Your love, we know that we would be willing to die to experience Your love throughout eternity! Your love for us is beyond description. To spend eternity with such Love is beyond imagination. But even beyond imagination Your love will take us because we know that forever we will spend eternity with You!
~Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing, my great Redeemer's praise! ~
