Lazaroo – Friday, August 17, 2012
No comments, Aug 17, 2012
Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with no-holds-barred wonder:
“The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, ‘What is this?’”
(Mark 1:27)
You’ve always done that to people, Jesus.
That’s what You do to me.
Just when I think I’ve seen what You can do
You turn around and amaze me
all over again.
I’m amazed…
that You chose me to be Yours
before I was even born
that You loved me so much
You gave Your life on the cross for me
that in spite of how often I fail
You keep giving me chance after chance
that although You could keep me on the sidelines
You’ve sent me out onto the playing field
that knowing all my faults, shortcomings and limitations
You absolutely believe in me…in You
that even though I thoroughly deserve hell
You’re even now preparing a place for me
in heaven.
