NewSong - That's What Mercy Is

It's a blue sky morning
It's a new day dawning
It's a million miles from a past that's haunted you forever
It's a prayer that's answered
It's a second chance for
A life you never ever even dreamed that you could live

That's what mercy is
It's the hand that reaches down and lifts you up again
No matter where you've been
That's what mercy is
It's the voice that's calling out come back home again
You can come back home again
Picture waking up to find that you're brand new
That's what mercy is

It's the word forgiven
Shouted straight from heaven
To a heart that's broken 

From the only one who'll make it whole again
It's a song of freedom
Sung for all who'll listen
There's a door wide open
Saying all you weary souls come right on in

That's what mercy is
It's the hand that reaches down and lifts you up again
No matter where you've been
That's what mercy is
It's the voice that's calling out come back home again
You can come back home again
Picture waking up to find that your're brand new
That's what mercy is

It's a cross, it's a grave, it's a stone that's rolled away  

It's three nails that held the price for all our sins
It's a Father, it's a Son, knowing something must be done
It's the greatest gift of love that's ever been
That's what mercy is

Oh, that's what mercy is, yeah
Oh, that's what mercy is
Yeah, that's what mercy is
That's what mercy is
That's what mercy is
It's the hand that reaches down and lifts you up again
No matter where you've been
Yeah that's what mercy is
It's the voice that's calling out come back home again
You can come back home again
Picture waking up to find that your're brand new
It's the love that God poured out for me and you
That's what mercy is
That's what mercy is

Cat tine de tine nici un bine sa nu ramana nefacut!

Maine e Craciunul, sarbatorim Nasterea Domnului nostru Isus in aceasta lume. Acest eveniment a avut un scop precis, nu puteam fi salvati decat de cineva care sa inteleaga atat lumea noastra corupta de pacat cat si Cerul care este patria pentru care am fost creati in primul si-n primul rand.

Dar oare cati oameni habar nu au de tot ceea ce sarbatorim de fapt, si nu putem sa ne inchipuim ca sunt putini. Dimpotriva, sunt multi, multi, care habar nu au de motivul adevarat al acestei sarbatori.

Ce facem noi cu privire la aceasta? Ne pasa noua catusi de putin de cei care niciodata nu o sa stie ca a venit un Salvator in lume?

Poate nu avem talent la evanghelizare, poate misiunea e prea costisitoare, dar o fapta buna, un gand, o rugaciune, un zambet, astea ne sunt la indemana.

Lucrurile mici, faptele aparent nebagate in seama, au impactul cel mai mare asupra vietii celor din jurul nostru.

Orice bine care tine de noi sa il facem, si nu oricum ci cu bucurie! Sa fim gata sa aratam aceeasi bucurie si daruire de sine pe care ne-a aratat-o Dumnezeu noua, dandu-si singurul Fiu ca sa vina intr-o lume rece, sa faca bine, si sa fie rasplatit cu rau, ca in cele din urma totusi BINELE sa fie triumfator! 

Melodia zilei:

NewSong - The Christmas Shoes

It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here"
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes

So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy
To remind me just what Christmas is all about.

Repeat Chorus
