’S NAME

”For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome
the world – our faith.” 1 John 5 v 4

To suppress the pain
Let God remain with you.
Again and again
He will reframe you.
The gain is immeasurable!
Call on Christ’s name
Of merciful love,
Of healing forgiveness,
Of powerful restoration.
Appeal to Christ,
He will heal you.
Christ will repeal
All your shortcomings
When belonging to Him
Wholeheartedly, earnestly you’re seeking.

“O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good.” Psalm 118 v 2

Be speaking with Him
Again and again.
Miracles do happen
In His name.
Claim God’s promises.
Alive in Christ
You will thrive
To win through
By all He did,
Still does for you.
Nothing too big
For Christ to rejig.
Nothing too small
To fall under
His holy influence.

“The stone which the builder rejected has become the chief cornerstone.” Psalm 118 v 23

Again and again
Christ will come
When you call
Upon Him, His love.
Above all else,

Seek His Spirit.
The merit of life
Overcoming strife
Lies in His power
Our divine grace
Daily, hour by hour.
The Holy Spirit
Will remake us
To take us
Where we could not
Ever, ever go alone.

“This was the Lord’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.” Psalm 118 v 23

The Holy Spirit
Working with Christ
Is our light.
Bright light of guidance.
His is the truth
The wisdom, the knowledge
What to do,
When and how.
Leave the whys
And wherefores
To Him, just begin
To believe and obey.
Listen for His voice
Calling not once,
But again and again.

“God is the Lord and He has given us light.” Psalm 118 v 27

Rely upon Christ
By His Spirit,
And you’ll inherit
A share in all that is holy.
There’s no other way.
Fall under the sway
Of divine influence
A fine reason
To combine faith,
Hope and trust
With love above
All else in life.

“I called on the Lord in distress; The Lord answered me and set me in a broad place.”
Psalm 118 v 5
The Father’s grace,
Our Lord Jesus’ goodness,
The Spirit’s embrace,
Will come to you
If and when
You earnestly ask.
They will take
You to task,
Seriously desiring
Nothing but the best
The very best
For you and through you.
You will have
To pass many
A test on the way,
But day by day
The loving Trinity
Will be your ability
To move on,
To grow to know
And show holiness.

“For His mercy endures forever.” Psalm 118 v 6

Let God in
Through Christ’s being
At work with you
In His Spirit.
Again and again
Remain ever open
To Christ’s call.
Fall in step
With God in Him
And begin, really begin
The adventure of life.
For nothing
Absolutely nothing,
Is impossible to God!

“You are my God, and I will praise You.” Psalm 118 v 28

His business is healing,
Repealing the muddles
We have made.

Re-made in Christ,
Renewed to share
His life in fullness,
Restored to righteousness
In our Father’s eyes,
Many is the surprise
Held in store
For you by
What you do
In Christ’s name.
You’ll never be
The same as before!

“You are my God and I will exalt You.” Psalm 118 v 28

You are re-made
Reformed, replenished
By Christ’s love.
This above all else
Awaits those who
Decide to call
On Him, to abide
In Him, with Him
Again and again.
It’s never too late,
Heaven does await
In Christ and His Spirit.
Shout, callout!
You belong to Christ.

“The Lord is on my side; I will not fear.” Psalm 118 v 6a

Claim the privilege.
Name Christ ‘Saviour’.
Embrace God’s grace
In Jesus His Son.
A mighty, marvellous
Work has begun
In you by love.
Let love win through.
Beckon to the Spirit.
Let Him reckon
What you should do.
He will lead you
Through thick and thin.

Begin now, for
It’s never too late.

“The Lord is for me among those who help me.” Psalm 118 v 7a

Christ set the date
When He died for you.
When Christ was crucified,
He took to Him
All your sin,
that you like Him,
May rise to
Restored life not once,
But again and again.
Call on the power
Of Christ’s name.
It is spiritual health,
An eternal wealth
Given by God.

“This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118 v 24

Receive and believe.
Perceive God’s love
Gifted by the †.
Christ’s loss of life
Our gain of hope.
Full scope for
Coming to Him
To begin once more.
Implore Christ to come.
Fears now undone,
You will achieve
Much and much more.
Love can go
Where no-one nor
Nothing else ventures.

“It is better to trust in the Lord than to have confidence in man.” Psalm 118 v 8a

Love and trust,
The must of faith.
The thrust of
God’s almighty Spirit.
Remain with God,

In Christ, by Him,
To win through
Again and again.
Love will show
You the way.
Love can go
Even where angels
Maybe fear to tread.

“The Lord is my strength and my song.” Psalm 118 v 14a

Be led by Christ,
Be Spirit fed
And triumph
By God’s love
In all you do.
Endeavour, accomplish
And complete
All God does ask.
Love is no mask
To put on
Then take off.
Love the task
Of life for you
And me, because
Christ has set
Us truly free.

“He has become my salvation.” Psalm 118 v 14

For this, God’s calling.
Falling into God’s
Arms opened up
By Christ’s †
Is the loss
Of sin, to begin
Again and again.
No, you’ll never
Ever be the same
As you were.
Thank God
And move forward!

“I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.” Psalm 118 v 17

Live by God’s love,
Give by God’s love,
Forgive by God’s love,
And you become
Part of God’s miracle
Of love offered
To a waiting world.
Christ’s is the glory.
Make His triumph
Your story of success.
As you call
On Christ’s name
Again and again,
Christ is your
Heart of love.
