MONDAY MELODY



IT IS JESUS

Verse 1
In my heart shines Light
that’s brighter than a sunrise!
It is Jesus! It is Jesus!
Never can the works of darkness
with its bold lies,
Stop the radiance of this Light
within my heart.

CHORUS:
It is Jesus, It is Jesus!
He’s the Son of God!
The Sun of righteousness!
When the lights of day and night
fade in their glory
Jesus Christ, is still
the Bright and Morning Star.

Verse 2
Who has called us out of darkness
to sing praises?
It is Jesus! It is Jesus!
For He opens eyes, forgives our sins,
and saves us.
So proclaim the Light,
the Way, the Truth, the Life!

Verse 3
For He changes not,
He’s not like shifting shadows.
It is Jesus! It is Jesus!
He will be your strength and comfort
in life’s sorrows,
Hand in hand He’ll light your path
to heaven’s home!

English Lyrics by Karin Ristau

Can be sung to the German Song, "Es ist Jesus"

I'd like to hear that German song. Any chance you can find it and put it on your blog? I studied German in high school and can still sing some songs in German. Great language.

Thank you all for visiting and sharing bloggy friendship! Much appreciated.
Warren, I do have a copy of the song. Not sure how to get it to you!
I scanned it and I could see if I could send it to you by E-mail. Just changed providers and can't send - only receive E-mail. Will try to work on that issue tomorrow.

GOD CALLED HIM HOME

My Love! Hans Peter Ristau  November 24, 1939 - May 21, 2013 EULOGY presented by his son Dr. Kenneth Andrew Ristau  Hans Peter Ristau was born to Karl and Martha Ristau on November 24th, 1939, in Berlin, Germany, only two and half months after the start of the War. Peter’s mother had five children from a previous marriage; with Karl she had Klaus, Peter and Renate. Klaus, Renate and Peter at their last visit So glad Renate was able to visit for a few weeks before Peter died.  Karl immigrated to Canada in 1950, settling in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Martha and the children followed later. Tragically, Peter's mother, Martha, died of cancer shortly afterwards. After spending a year in the care of his Tante Emma, he was reunited with his father, who had remarried. His step-mother Anna’s deep personal faith led the family into the community at the German Mission Baptist Church, where the entire family was baptized on November 6, 1955. Foreshadowing God’s ...

ARTIFICIAL OR REAL?

Image
The pastor made comments about the lovely flower arrangements decorating the front of the church. He used them as an excellent illustration about being real! They looked deceptively real, but were in fact artificial, fake, and phony. Not all things, or people for that matter, are the real thing. Imitations are passed off as the real thing everywhere one goes. Fake flowers and fake people can deceive us, but thankfully not for long. Counterfeit coins or counterfeit Christians – neither can be taken at face value. Being totally acquainted with the real thing, however, will give us the discernment to know when something or someone is fake! As I mulled over this picture, other thoughts crowded my mind. In our sanctuary, there is no access to natural light streaming in through beautiful, wide or stained glass windows. Even a child knows that without natural light real plants cannot grow. The reason we don’t have too many windows is probably because we fear they would invite vandalism...
