"EVERY   GOOD   AND   PERFECT   GIFT    COMES   FROM   ABOVE,   AND   COMES  DOWN   FROM   THE   FATHER..." (James 1:17)


It was by Your grace
as I lay on my face
before You O Holy God!!!

A water drop from above
struck the back of my arm.....

I was NOT under the tree
where we have met so many times before......

I was on my face---
which is my proper place-
because I am always needing
to praise and exalt Jesus Christ,
and humble my self (more).

The water drop gave me no pain
and caused me no harm;
But it served to remind me---

That on His cross Jesus' blood He did pour---
On His cross Jesus took our sins,
He took our pain, He took our shame.....
Giving to us ...HIS NAME (Christian)!!!
That we might (in HIM!!!) forever reign!!!!!!!

O Praise HIs Name!!!   O Praise His Name!!!

For the water drop from above
did not come from the tree,
It did not come from the cloud,
It came from the Father's love.

"Every good and perfect gift is from above,
and comes down from the Father..."
(James 1:17)

O PRAISE HIS NAME!!!!!!!
O PRAISE HIS NAME!!!!!!!

Oh Holy God,  Because Jesus Christ - Your Holy Son -  poured out His blood, His life.....
He...Your Best...
Jesus became Himself ...our righteousness!!!!!!! (Philippians 3:9)

Thus making us welcome before Holy God's throne!!!
And transforming our cold hearts - into a place where  You Oh Holy God
can be "at home."  (I Corinthians 3:16/Amplified Bible)...

And changing us...from thinking that we are "all alone"...
to believing and KNOWING that we are forever Your very own.

John laid his head on Jesus'  chest,
and made of Jesus - this request:
Master, tell me..."who will betray you?
(John 13:23-25)

Because Jesus paid for you and me the highest possible price..
His blood, His life, He sacrificed........
We can, time after time...lay our heads on Jesus' chest  -  and confess
Yes, Abba Father, it is I who denied and betrayed Thee.

Please forgive me  -  so my heart can still be Your home,
For Your blood always avails for me,
And You will never leave me alone.
(I John 1:7/Hebrews 13:5/Matthew 28:20)

Because Jesus poured out His blood, His life---GOD'S BEST---
Jesus Christ became Himself ...our righteousness!!!!!!!


Oh! Worship! Worship! JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!! 

"THERE IS A RIVER WHOSE STREAMS SHALL MAKE GLAD THE CITY OF GOD."
(Psalm 46:4)


Because Jesus Christ's blood ran down
From His feet and hands,
From the stripes on His sides and back,
From His thorny crown
Crushed into His brow........

This river.....these streams,

This--- Jesus' blood-

THIS--Flood-----

Cleansed, healed, forgave and saved.....
and does still now.


"...that great day of the feast
 (of Tabernacles),
Jesus stood and cried out,
saying, 'If anyone thirsts, let him
come to Me and drink.

"He who believes in Me, as the
Scripture has said, out of his heart
shall flow rivers of living water.'

"But this He spoke concerning the
Spirit, whom those believing in Him
would receive..."
(John 7:37-39a)


In Acts 2:33-39 God speaks to us of those who believe in Jesus Christ...receiving the "...gift of the Holy Spirit"!!!

"He who believes in Me (Jesus Christ )---"...out of him will flow rivers of living water". (John 7:38)

The  "...rivers of living water" flowing out of our hearts---may also be manifested as our tears---
tears shed in praise and worship and thanksgiving unto God;
tears of joy in Him;
tears of repentance for our sins;
tears of sadness, tears of grief;
tears of empathy shed for those who are suffering, or are experiencing loss.


`As we who believe in Jesus Christ---
our lives before Him bow---
His rivers of living water
from our hearts will flow---
bringing many, many, many more
into His kingdom---
Oh!  Let it be so!!!


"The Lord your God in your
midst,
The Mighty One , will save;
He will rejoice over you with
gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with
singing."  (Zephaniah 3:17)


"There is a river whose streams
shall make glad the city of
God.

The holy place of the tabernacle
of the Most High."  (Psalm 46:4)


Oh let it be you,
Oh let it be me---
Through whose hearts
His rivers of living waters flow-

OH LET IT BE SO!!!
OH LET IT BE SO!!!!
