Year of grace 2018

Just as I am one only plea
In that the blood once shed was shed for me
And drew me to a covenant place
Where I found mercy in the year of grace

No condemnation now for me
Your Word has touched my heart and now I see
In Heaven stands to plead my case
The One who found me in the year of grace

O Son of God sweet Son of Man
The Author of redemption's plan
Eternal God in time and space
O keep me ever in the year of grace

I hear Your voice my soul awakes
Your whispered words have stirred my heart to praise
On love unbound I fix my gaze
Where I first saw You in the year of grace

In life in death whom shall I fear
Closer than breath I feel You near
Oh hold me in Your strong embrace
Where I find rest within the year of grace

I lift up my soul - אשא נפשי | Birgitta Veksler

Lyrics

"I lift up my soul to the Lord

And I shall trust in His name

Remember Your mercies and Your grace

For you are good and upright

My eyes are ever toward the Lord

Turn to me and have mercy on me"

The one who makes peace in the heavens, may He make peace for us and for all Israel and let us say Amen.

Michael Card Performs "And Dreams" From the Biblical Imagination Series

That night when in Judean skies 

The wondrous star did shine so bright 

A blind man moved while in his sleep

 And dreamed that he had sight 

That night when Magi traveled far 

While o'ver the house the star drew near 

A deaf man stirred in slumber's spell 

and dreamed that he could hear 

That night when safe in Joseph's arms 

the little king was held secure 

A captive child smiled in her sleep 

and dreamed that she was pure 

That night when o'er the newborn 

Babe
the tender Mary rose to lean 

A leper slept a happy sleep 

and dreamed that he was clean 

 And all the while the dreamers dreamed 

the Child who would redeem them 

lay weeping for the world 

he would waken 

That night when in the manger lay 

The Son of God who came to save 

A man moved in the sleep of death 

And dreamed there was no grave

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

⁹ After Jesus^[f] had risen early on the first day of that week,^[g] he appeared first to Mary Magdalene,^[h] from whom he had driven out seven demons. ¹⁰ She went and told those who had been with Jesus^[i] and who now were grieving and crying. ¹¹ When they heard that he was alive and that he had been seen by her, they refused to believe Mary.^[j]

Jesus Appears to Two Disciples

¹² After this, Jesus^[k] appeared in a different form to two disciples^[l] as they were walking into the country. ¹³ They went back and told the others, who didn’t believe them, either.

Jesus Commissions His Disciples

¹⁴ Finally he appeared to his eleven disciples^[m] while they were eating. He rebuked them for their unbelief and stubbornness, because they had not believed those who had seen him after he had risen. ¹⁵ Then he told them, “As you go into the entire world, proclaim the gospel to everyone.^{[n] 16} Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever doesn’t believe will be condemned. ¹⁷ These are the signs that will accompany those who believe: In my name they’ll drive out demons. they’ll speak in new languages,^{[o] 18} and they’ll pick up snakes with their hands.^[p] Even if they drink any deadly poison, it won’t hurt them, and they’ll place their hands on the sick, and they’ll recover.”

Jesus is Taken Up to Heaven

¹⁹ So the Lord Jesus,^[q] after talking with his disciples,^[r] was taken up to heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. ²⁰ Then his disciples^[s] went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord kept working with them and confirming the message by the signs that accompanied it.
