This Song was a Blessing to me Today.
We Are the Reason {Lyrics and Composer: Gary Valenciano.}
As little children we would dream of Christmas morn,
Of all the gifts and toys.
We knew we'd find, but we never realized,
A baby born one blessed night.
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives.
We were the reason that He gave His life.
We were the reason that He suffered and died.
To a world that was lost,
He gave all He could give.
To show us the reason to live.
As the years went by, we learned more about gifts,
The giving of ourselves and what that means
On a dark and cloudy day,
Jesus hung dying in the rain.
All because of love, all because of love.
We were the reason that He gave His life.
We were the reason that He suffered and died.
To a world that was lost,
He gave all He could give.
To show us the reason to live.
I've finally found the reason for living,
It's in giving every part of my heart to Him.
In all that I do every word that I say,
I'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him.
We were the reason that He gave His life.
We were the reason that He suffered and died.
To a world that was lost,
He gave all He could give.
To show us the reason to live.
He is my reason to live.
Thank You, our Loving Savior, for Giving Your Life that we Might Live. We Love You with All our Hearts and Souls, and Glorify Your Lovely Name. Please Grant Healing to our Knitting, and may Tomorrow be a Much Better Day. Please Ease her Pain, and Grant her Rest, our Great King of Saints.
Through the Grace of our Lord Jesus, we Pray All Things, amen.
Psalm 33
Praise to the Creator and Preserver.
1Sing for joy in the LORD, O you righteous ones;
Praise is becoming to the upright.
2Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre;
Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings.
3Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
4For the word of the LORD is upright,
And all His work is done in faithfulness.
5He loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of the lovingkindness of the LORD.
6By the word of the LORD the heavens were made,
And by the breath of His mouth all their host.
7He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap;
He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
8Let all the earth fear the LORD;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
9For He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.
10The LORD nullifies the counsel of the nations;
He frustrates the plans of the peoples.
11The counsel of the LORD stands forever,
The plans of His heart from generation to generation.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,
The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.
13The LORD looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men;
14From His dwelling place He looks out
On all the inhabitants of the earth,
15He who fashions the hearts of them all,
He who understands all their works.
16The king is not saved by a mighty army;
A warrior is not delivered by great strength.
17A horse is a false hope for victory;
Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.
18Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope for His lovingkindness,
19To deliver their soul from death
And to keep them alive in famine.
20Our soul waits for the LORD;
He is our help and our shield.
21For our heart rejoices in Him,
Because we trust in His holy name.
22Let Your lovingkindness, O LORD, be upon us,
According as we have hoped in You.
Psalm 34
The LORD, a Provider and Deliverer.
1I will bless the LORD at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2My soul will make its boast in the LORD;
The humble will hear it and rejoice.
3O magnify the LORD with me,
And let us exalt His name together.
4I sought the LORD, and He answered me,
And delivered me from all my fears.
5They looked to Him and were radiant,
And their faces will never be ashamed.
6This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him
And saved him out of all his troubles.
7The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him,
And rescues them.
8O taste and see that the LORD is good;
How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
9O fear the LORD, you His saints;
For to those who fear Him there is no want.
10The young lions do lack and suffer hunger;
But they who seek the LORD shall not be in want of any good thing.
11Come, you children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12Who is the man who desires life
And loves length of days that he may see good?
13Keep your tongue from evil
And your lips from speaking deceit.
14Depart from evil and do good;
Seek peace and pursue it.
15The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous
And His ears are open to their cry.
16The face of the LORD is against evildoers,
To cut off the memory of them from the earth.
17The righteous cry, and the LORD hears
And delivers them out of all their troubles.
18The LORD is near to the brokenhearted
And saves those who are crushed in spirit.
19Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
But the LORD delivers him out of them all.
20He keeps all his bones,
Not one of them is broken.
21Evil shall slay the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
22The LORD redeems the soul of His servants,
And none of those who take refuge in Him will be condemned.
