"Wonder of Wonders"

I will not be posting again until after Easter. Our Easter week-end will be spent with family in Houston. The youngest daughter and her husband will be hosting our entire family, part of Saturday and Sunday. If all goes well, the whole family will be in worship service at University Baptist Church in League City. During this time together, we will also celebrate several family birthdays that fall in April and May. Many pictures will be snapped, many stories will be told, many pranks will be pulled. And, for one reason or another, there will be tears shed also.
Have a Blessed Easter. Enjoy your family. But above all, spend time reveling in “The Wonder of Wonders”!

Oh, The Wonder of Wonders
Oh, the wonder of wonders that floods over my soul
is the picture of what God's done for me,
How He saved my soul through the blood of the Lamb
and by grace I am pardoned and free.
He took my old life that was bent on destruction
to give me a new one, marked by His name.
King Jesus became personal to enter my heart
and forgive me of all of my shame.
He took my transgression...every last little trace
and cleansed it, till it was no more.
Then He gave me His righteousness to wear as a covering
to show I was now His evermore.
He took this heart of stone...unable to know Him
and changed it to a heart of pure flesh.
Then He re-set the beat in tandem with His
so I could follow His lead and be blessed.
He took my selfish desires & self-seeking ways
and taught me to pursue His own will.
And though I'm still growing and learning to seek Him
I've found His ways are what leave me filled.
He took my days of wandering with no spiritual direction
...for all the reasons I did not understand.
Now He guides me by the Word and the power of His Spirit
just like a compass to hold in my hand.
He made me, He created me & He knew me from the start
then His salvation, by grace, set me free.
Oh, the wonder of wonders that floods over my soul
is the picture of what God's done for me.

And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

John 17: 3-5
