May 4 “Jesus Over Everything” 1 Corinthians 8:6
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.” (1 Corinthians 8:6)
This morning, I share the lyrics of a beautiful song that describes our Jesus! When I read these words, penned by Ben Cantelon, Charles Starling, Andrew Holt, I am encouraged and my soul is made joyous, when I think of HIS Love for me, and HIS sacrifice for me, and HIS Atoning GRACE! I pray that you will be encouraged and inspired by these words… The Song is entitled, “Jesus Over Everything”: He came from glory - Took on flesh to save the lost - Grace and mercy displayed upon the cross - Our redemption, He's the hope for all mankind - One name over everything - One name over everything! Jesus over everything - He reigns forevermore - Our song for all eternity - Jesus Christ is Lord (yes, He is)!
Who can rival our resurrected King - In one moment, He brought death to its knees - All the power and all authority -
To one name over everything - Yes to one name everything - Jesus over everything - He reigns forevermore - Our song for all eternity - Jesus Christ is Lord!
Jesus over everything - He reigns forevermore - Our song for all eternity - Jesus Christ is Lord! Yes, this will be our song - This will be our song - Oh, He is Lord! Over fear, over shame -
Over all anxiety - Over troubles and all pain - Over sickness and disease - For He reigns on the throne - All praise to Him alone - One name over everything - Over death and all sin -
Over hell, over the grave - Darkness bows, demons flee -
At the mention of His name - For He reigns on the throne -
All praise to Him alone - One name over everything - Oh! Jesus over everything - He reigns forevermore - Our song for all eternity - Jesus Christ is Lord!
Oh! Jesus over everything - He reigns forevermore -
Our song for all eternity - Jesus Christ is Lord! - Our song for all eternity - Jesus Christ is Lord! - Oh, Jesus Christ is Lord!
I am ending this devotion with another scripture passage to help us focus on JESUS! Think about the beautiful instructions from Philippians 4:8 – “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” Stay Strong (In Jesus), Stay Focused (On Jesus)… (Because of JESUS) THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
