how deep the Father’s love for us

November 30, 2008 at 9:56 pm (Music)

Today I am reminded
No amount of good I do will ever be enough
No amount of bad will keep me from His love.
Grace is the undeserved love and salvation God gives through Christ.

E2				A2
How deep the Father's love for us,
E		  C#m7  B2
How vast beyond all measure.
E2			      A
That He should give His only son,
E		       Bsus  E
And make a wretch His treasure.
E		     A   E   A
How great the pain of searing loss,
E			  C#m7   B
The Father turns His face away.
E2				     A2
As wounds which mar the Chosen One,
E		Bsus  E
Bring many sons to glory.

E2				  A2
Behold the Man upon the cross,
E		      C#m7  B2
My sin upon His shoulders
E2			E      A
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice,
E		Bsus  E
Call out among the scoffers.
E		         A     E    A
It was my sin that held Him there
E	           C#m7  B2
Until it was accomplished.
E2				  A2
His dying breath has brought me life
E		     Bsus  E
I know that it is finished.

E2			    A2
I will not boast in anything
E		              C#m7  B2
No gifts, no power, no wisdom.
E2			A
But I will boast in Jesus Christ,
E		Bsus  E
His death and resurrection.
E		         A   E    A
Why should I gain from His reward?
E		    C#m7  B2
I cannot give an answer.
E2			   A2
But this I know with all my heart,
E				 Bsus  E2
His wounds have paid my ransom.

Dinner with (some of) the family.

November 16, 2008 at 11:08 pm (Friends and Family)

      I have felt so blessed by the open hearts and ears of my family to hear about my adventures. Those of us at home have gotten to eat a few dinners together already. I really enjoyed dinner tonight. Thanks for listening to my stories. I love you guys.

   And in case you are one of the people that ask us “What do you do at home without a tv?” This is what we did after dinner tonight.  :)

Happy 233rd Birthday

November 16, 2008 at 10:55 pm (Friends and Family, News)

To the United States Marine Corps!

“On November 10th, 1775, a Corps of Marines was created by a resolution of the Continental Congress. Since that date, many thousand men have borne the name Marine. In memory of them it is fitting that we who are Marines should commemorate the birthday of our Corps.”
