Father's Day

I'm very fortunate to have been blessed with a great earthly father. On this Father's Day here's something to consider today and every day as well.

COPYRIGHT 6/19/06     FATHER’S DAY                   JEFF EVERMAN

HERE’S A THOUGHT SO SIMPLE

 BUT SOMETHING I MUST SAY

HOPE THAT IT STAYS WITH YOU

 IT NEVERS GOES AWAY

CELEBRATED ONCE A YEAR

 BUT SHOULD BE EVERY DAY

WORTHY OF ALL GLORY

 MAKE EACH ONE OUR FATHER ‘S DAY

(chorus)

YES, EVERY DAY IS FATHERS DAY

HE GUIDES OUR WALK, ALONG THE WAY

HE SHIELDS US AND PROTECTS US

IN HIS ARMS FOREVER STAY

YES, EVERY DAY IS FATHERS DAY

HE’S OUR FATHER, HE’S OUR SAVIOR

OUR PROVIDER, HE’S OUR FRIEND

 KNOW HE’S ALWAYS WITH US

FROM  BEGINNING TIL THE END

LET’S SHOW WE MUCH WE LOVE HIM

 BY ALL WE DO AND SAY

THE ONLY GOD NOW AND FOREVER

LET’S REJOICE ON FATHERS DAY

CHORUS

SUCH SACRIFICE, ON CALVARY

 JESUS DIED FOR YOU AND ME

GOD GAVE HIM UP, HIS ONLY SON

 SO WE CAN KNOW OUR VICTORY’S WON

NOW DON’T WORRY, OR BE AFRAID

 JUST LOVE EACH OTHER, THIS DAY HE’S MADE

ON BENDED KNEE, TO HIM WE PRAY

 IN JESUS NAME ON FATHERS DAY

CHORUS             

Something To Think About

There are mortgages, car loans, medical bills, credit cards, and the list goes on and on. What happens when you don't have the money to make payment when the time comes? You can be charged late penalties, taken to court and/or have the what was purchased be taken back. In most cases an I O U simply won't work.
Now I ask you to consider the debt we owe to Jesus. He paid the debt he did not owe, one we could not pay. No price tag can be put on forgiveness of our sins and eternal salvation. There's not enough money in the world, never has been and never will be. But God doesn't need or want our money. Our burnt offerings aren't pleasing to him. He doesn't want ritual or religion. He wants relationship us. He wants our true and sincere love. He wants us to love him like he loves us. And he loves us so much that he's not going to send the repo man to take back our salvation because we can't or don't make a monthly payment to him. That's just not what he wants from us at all.
He paid the debt I couldn't pay. He paid the debt he didn't owe. I know who I owe. Do you?

I O U MY LIFE, I O U MY SOUL

U DIED FOR ME, U MADE ME WHOLE

I O U MY PRAISE, I O U MY BREATH

YES I’M ALIVE, ONLY BY YOUR DEATH

 

WHY WOULD YOU PAY, A KINGS RANSOM FOR ME

REDEEMED BY YOUR BLOOD, I’VE BEEN SET FREE

YOU PAID FOR MY SIN, YES YOU PAID THE COST

WITHOUT YOU MY LORD, I’D STILL BE SO LOST

 

I O U MY LIFE, I O U MY SOUL

U DIED FOR ME, U MADE ME WHOLE

I O U MY PRAISE, I O U MY BREATH

YES I’M ALIVE, ONLY BY YOUR DEATH

 

YOU’VE BEEN SO GOOD, WHAT CAN I SAY

YOU’VE BEEN SO GOOD, TO LOVE ME THIS WAY

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, LORD HOW CAN I SHOW

HOW CAN I REPAY, THIS DEBT THAT I OWE

 

I O U MY LIFE, I O U MY SOUL

U DIED FOR ME, U MADE ME WHOLE

I O U MY PRAISE, I O U MY BREATH

YES I’M ALIVE, ONLY BY YOUR DEATH

 

NOW I CAN SEE, I’M NO LONGER BLIND

I’VE BEEN TRANSFORMED, U RENEWED MY MIND

I O U MY NIGHT, I O U MY DAY

ONLY BY YOUR BLOOD, ARE MY SINS WASHED AWAY

 

I O U MY LIFE, I O U MY SOUL

U DIED FOR ME, U MADE ME WHOLE

I O U MY PRAISE, I O U MY BREATH

YES I’M ALIVE, ONLY BY YOUR DEATH
