“Arise, my soul, arise;
Shake off thy guilty fears;
The bleeding sacrifice
In thy behalf appears:
Before the throne my surety stands;
My name is written on his hands.
He ever lives above,
For me to intercede;
His all-redeeming love,
His precious blood to plead;
His blood atoned for all our race,
And sprinkles now the throne of grace.
Five bleeding wounds he bears,
Received on Calvary;
They pour effectual prayers,
They strongly speak for me.
Forgive him, O forgive, they cry,
Nor let that ransomed sinner die.
The Father hears him pray—
His dear Anointed One:
He cannot turn away
The presence of his Son;
His Spirit answers to the blood,
And tells me I am born of God.
My God is reconciled,
His pardoning voice I hear;
He owns me for his child,
I can no longer fear:
With confidence I now draw nigh,
And Father, Abba Father, cry.”
-Charles Wesley
P.S. My heart is burdened and sad with the amount of violence that surround us nowadays. Those youth and adults that died the day before make my heart weep, beg and cry out to God for mercy. They were youth and adults that could have been saved if they were not. Oh how my heart cries out for you Lord; no one is safe anywhere anymore, LORD I ask that you cover us with the blood of of your son Jesus Christ 💗💕That no one or anything with intentions of violence touch your children and your children’s children without you allowing it if it’s in your will. Amen 🙏🏼🙏🏼Please let’s keep praying for this country and the entire world that they turn back to God; he is the only one that can keep us safe.
