I Thank You Kind Father

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on March 28, 2022

I thank You, kind Father
That there is a mercy seat
For us in Heaven above
An altar of sacrifice
Sprinkled with blood
A token of mercy and love

A sacrifice offered
Without any blemish
To cleanse Your people from sin
So perfect He bleaches
And not only covers
The filth and corruption within

A precious Lamb slain
From the world’s foundation
His wondrous Name’s Lord Jesus Christ
A sacrifice wounded to death
For our pardon
And risen to give us new life

Bloodied and bruised
Hacked and terribly beaten
So gracious Your love for the world
That Your only Son
You placed on the altar
That by Him our cups may be filled

I thank You Kind Father
That there is a High Priest
To make intercession for men
Who pleads our forgiveness
For our great transgression
Who offered Himself for our sin

May we never count
The blood of the Covenant
As an unholy thing
Nor trample the blood
Of Your Son underfoot
Having been sanctified once by Him

But, Lord, be our strength
Our guide and our comfort
Lead us to Your golden shore
Give us Living Waters
That we may drink freely
And dwell in us for evermore

Do not, Therefore,Fling Away Your Fearless Confidence

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on March 6, 2022
Do not, therefore, fling away your fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward. For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of GOD and thus receive and carry away [and enjoy to the full] what is promised.
Heb. 35-36
Sometimes we need to wait patiently, with fearless confidence on the LORD, until He fulfills what is promised. There are times when failure seems inevitable. It is then that we are to stay calm and focus on the Word in the face of adversity. It is at this point that Satan applies extreme pressure on us to give up and let go of GOD’S Word. Having come so far, don’t do so. We cannot succumb to Satan’s pressure without flinging away our confidence in the promises of GOD. There’s no middle ground. When it comes to standing on the WORD, we’re either on or we’re off.
Patience has the courage to refuse to believe what Satan tries to prove in the physical world. When Satan’s pressure says that GOD is not working on our behalf, patience rejects it as a lie. Patience knows that when faith is exercised to receive a promise from GOD’S WORD, success is inevitable.
Stay blessed as you keep your eyes on Jesus, the Author and finisher of our faith.

Give Thanks to the Lord and Call on His Name [Inspired by 1Chron 168-12 &15]

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on March 4, 2022

Give thanks to the Lord and call on His Name
Make known what He’s done, spread abroad His fame
Sing to the Lord and lift up your voice
And glory in His holy Name

Tell of God’s mighty and wonderful deeds
Children, glorify His holy Name
Look to the Lord and the Word His power
Eternally our God will reign

Remember the miracles that God has done
When the mountains seem too high to climb
When the battle is raging just trust in His love
And He’ll give you the victory each time

God remembers His covenant eternally
He’s unchanging and He won’t renege
He has saved us in love that surpasses all things
And He cherishes all He has made

From One Man God Created All Nations [Inspired by Acts 17:26-27]

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on March 2, 2022

From one man God created all nations
To inhabit the whole of the earth
He also determined the times set for them
The exact places where they should live

God did all this so that men should seek Him
And that those who sought Him would find
So that they might be saved from their sin and sin’s sorrows
And leave all the darkness behind

Yet our God is not a God away
Though He’s ruler of all things that be
He’s as close as our heart beat and if we invite Him
He’ll dwell in us eternally
