June.19.01: Light For The Day - "I'm So Glad"

-- Psalms 118:24-26 (NIV)
"24 This is the day the LORD has made; 
let us rejoice and be glad in it.
25 O LORD, save us; O LORD, grant us success.
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD. 
From the house of the LORD we bless you."

"I'm So Glad"

One day I found my life held little meaning.
I was lost and had no peace within.
Then I knew I really needed Jesus.
Then I asked if He'd forgive my sins.

I'm so glad the blessed Savior found me.
He told me I could be His child.
He put His tender, loving arms around me.
And now I know that life can be worthwhile.

One day I found I needed greater power.
So I sought it many times down on my knees.
Oh, I'm so glad for the lovely, shining hour
when the Holy Spirit washed and made me clean.

Oh, I'm glad I need not fear life's ending
When chilling death shall bid me come,
for I know that Jesus will go with me,
and He'll lead me gently, safely home.

Friend, if life for you has lost it's meaning,
and you have no hope or peace within,
turn around and give your life to Jesus.
He loves you and wants to be your friend.

-- 1Peter 4:12,13 (NLT)
"12 Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials 
you are going through, as if something strange were 
happening to you.
13 Instead, be very glad—because these trials will make 
you partners with Christ in his suffering, and afterward 
you will have the wonderful joy of sharing his glory 
when it is displayed to all the world."
