"Grace is love that cares and stoops and rescues."

It costs my life to follow Christ. It is His love for me to do so for death to self opens a clear road into the arms of Christ.

Ellen cannot offer Ellen life, and Ellen needs die to herself in order to receive Life.

Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love,
that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
and for as many years as we have seen evil.
Let your work be shown to your servants,
and your glorious power to their children.
Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us,
and establish the work of our hands upon us;
yes, establish the work of our hands!
Psalm 90:14-17

Robert Murray McCheyne (1813–1843)


“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jer. 17:9. Learn much of the Lord Jesus. For every look at yourself, take ten looks at Christ. He is altogether lovely. Such infinite majesty, and yet such meekness and grace, and all for sinners, even the chief! Live much in the smiles of God. Bask in his beams. Feel his all-seeing eye settled on you in love, and repose in his almighty arms. . . .

. . . Let your soul be filled with a heart-ravishing sense of the sweetness and excellency of Christ and all that is in Him. Let the Holy Spirit fill every chamber of your heart; and so there will be no room for folly, or the world, or Satan, or the flesh."

"Fruit hangs on the tree but they wont pluck it; water flows at their feet,but they wont stoop to drink it. Lord deliver us from such folly."

Worthy is the lamb who was slain
The one who broke down the great wall of enmity and gave me His name
How gracious is my Redeemer King Jesus
Son of the Highest
What could I possibly give to you
but the fragrance of my

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Holy is the man of sorrows
Destroying the works of the evil one all with your own blood
and mercies before and behind you
such beauty all--around you how could I ever repay you
but with the fragrance of my

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Praise be to the wounded one
Glory and honor to the Son
We ascribe worth and give up to you Lord
Let the fragrance of our love go forth


We lift our gaze
We lift our gaze
We lift our gaze
We lift our gaze
We lift our gaze..

You are Higher!
You are Higher! 
You are Higher! 
You are Higher! 
You are Higher! 

Praise be to the wounded one
Glory and honor to the Son
We ascribe worth and give up to you Lord
Let the fragrance of our love go forth
