The Greatest Of These - Larnelle Harris (2005)


If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels
But have not love
I am only a resounding gong or clanging cymbal

And if I have the gift of prophesy
And can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge
And if I have a faith that can move the mountains
But have not love
I am nothing

If I give all I possess to the poor
And surrender my body to the flames
But have not love
I gain nothing

Love is patient
Love is kind
It does not envy
Does not boast
It is not proud
It is not rude
It is not self-seeking
It is not easily angered
It keeps no record of wrongs
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres

Love never fails
But where there are prophecies they will cease
Where there are tongues they will be stilled
Where there is knowledge it will pass away
For we know in part and we prophesy in part
But when perfection comes the imperfect disappears

When I was a child I talked like a child
I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child
When I became a man I put my childish ways behind me
Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror
Then we shall see face to face
Now I know in part, then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known

And now these three remain
Faith, hope, and love
But the greatest of these is love
The greatest of these is love

His eye is on the sparrow - Wintley Phipps


Performance in Penitentiary Department Center. 

Romans 8:31-39 

31-39 So, what do you think? 
With God on our side like this, how can we lose? 
If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, 
is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us? 
And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God’s chosen? 
Who would dare even to point a finger? 

The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. 
Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? 
There is no way! 
Not trouble, not hard times, 
not hatred, not hunger, 
not homelessness, not bullying threats,
 not backstabbing, 
not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:

"They kill us in cold blood because they hate you.
We’re sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one."

None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. 
I’m absolutely convinced that nothing
—nothing living or dead, 
angelic or demonic, 
today or tomorrow, 
high or low, 
thinkable or unthinkable
—absolutely nothing 
can get between us and God’s love 
because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.

The Servant Song - Maranatha! Vocal Band



The Servant Song

Richard Gillard, Betty C. Pulkingham

Brother, let me be your servant.
Let me be as Christ to you.
Pray that I might have the grace
to let you be my servant, too.

I will hold the Christ-light for you
in the night time of your fear.
I will hold my hand out to you;
Speak the peace you long to hear.

We are pilgrims on a journey.
We are brothers on the road.
We are here to help each other
Walk the mile and bear the load.

I will weep when you are weeping.
When you laugh, I'll laugh with you.
I will share your joy and sorrow
till we've seen this journey through.

When we sing to God in heaven,
We shall find such harmony
Born of all we've known together
Of Christ's love and agony.

Brother, let me be your servant.
Let me be as Christ to you.
Pray that I might have the grace
to let you be my servant, too.

There Is No Equal to You Oh GOD - Larnelle Harris



             There Is No Equal

History is full of men's achievements
But frail are all these ventures at their very best
While we toast our success
You create another day
And I can see how You might be amused

Centuries have raised up Gods and heroes
But feeble is their bid for immortality
While You, now and eternally
Are the great 'I am'
Forever is the dominion You bring
You are the one immortal King

There is no equal to You, O God
Above all others supremely You reign
The whole of heaven and earth stands in awe
There is no equal to You, O God

Who can claim this planet as their enterprise
No one else is master of the master plan
Only You speak a word and the laws of nature change
And even time runs its course to your throne
Where it will bow to You alone
 
There is no equal to You O God
Above all others supremely You reign
The whole of heaven and earth stands in awe
There is no equal to You, O God
 
There is no equal
Without rival
No contender
Who is like You, O Lord?

There is no equal to You, O God
Above all others supremely You reign
The whole of heaven and earth stands in awe
There is no equal to You, O God
Above all others supremely You reign
The whole of heaven and earth stands in awe
There is no equal to You, O God
