At the breaking of the dawn

dawn

For His anger is momentary, but His favor lasts a lifetime, 

Tears may linger for the night, but with dawn comes cries of joy.”

Psalm 30:5 CJB

At the breaking of the dawn

Are Your new mercies;

At the breaking of the dawn

Your love is new again;

At the breaking of the dawn,

Your faithfulness has come again;

As Your Word says,

Your mercies are new every morning.

At the breaking of the dawn,

Darkness flees away

And fears are gone

My strength is renewed

At the breaking of the dawn

Fears fly away

At the breaking of the dawn.

Thank You Lord Jesus that Your love is here

At the breaking of the dawn;

I praise You Lord Jesus that You are here with me

Always at the breaking of the dawn.

“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassion never fail. They are new every morning, great is Your faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22-23

Rejoice!

Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice!

For the Lord is risen

He is risen indeed!

Death has no more dominion

Death and sin have lost its power

Because the Lord has overcome.

Rejoice!

People of God rejoice!

The battle has been won!

Christ has won the victor’s crown

Rejoice for the Lord Jesus has overcome!

Rejoice for the Lord is risen

He has risen indeed!

Rejoice!

For the battle has been won

Rejoice!

For Christ is coming back soon!

Rejoice,

For the Lord will be here soon!

Victory in the Garden

The Garden of Gethsemane, Jerusalem

 

There in the Garden

My Savior plead,

There in the Garden

My Savior knelt down and prayed,
“Father, not my will

But Your will be done”

There in the garden

My Lord surrendered

To His Father’s plan

Yet He had won

The Victor’s crown

There in the garden

My Savior wept

He cried bloody tears of surrender;

There in the garden

My Savior won over sin and temptation

Death and evil no more have dominion

There in the garden my Savior won the Victor’s Crown.

(Bible Reference :Matthew 26: 36 – 46)

Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38 Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”

39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”

40 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter. 41 “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

42 He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”

43 When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. 44 So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.

45 Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”
