Another Great Day
Amazing Grace

A Day Off?

I rose early again this morning and with a great act of discipline did a liitle over 1 hour of physical exercise. This daily onslaught is beginning to hurt! After a quick breakfast, I headed to Innsbruck to be a tourist and do a little bit of shoppingDsc00603


It is a truly beautiful city and I enjoyed the time I spent there. One of the tourist Highlights is to see the medievel buliding that has a golden roof. I was so fortunate that as I passed a young people were emerging to begin married life together. Dsc00615
On my return to Oberhofen, I hard so beautiful singing and was suprised when I saw that it was coming from outside the church. I briefly joined the crowd to listen to this lively melody until I realised it was a funeral. How lovely though that the service was so cleary a ceebration.

A few days ago, Christoph asked whether during my devotions I sang to the Lord. I had to admit I did not. For although I thought God would be forgiving of my croaking, I was not so forgiving! However, the next day, I had spent some quality time with God and I looked on my hard disk and found an amazing song, performed by a duo that we were fortunate to work with a few years ago, Aaron Jeoffrey.

The song never fails to highight the glory and charcter of God for me and as I listened to it, it moved me into a time of worship, and yes I sang! (obviously, it was horrible but God and I enjoyed it!)

Here are the lyrics:


In Genesis, He's the breath of life
In Exodus, the Passover Lamb
In Leviticus, He's our High Priest
Numbers, The fire by night
Deuteronomy, He's Moses' voice
In Joshua, He is salvation's choice
Judges, law giver
In Ruth, the kinsmen-redeemer
First and second Samuel, our trusted prophet
In Kings and Chronicles, He's sovereign

Ezra, true and faithful scribe
Nehemiah, He's the rebuilder of broken walls and lives
In Esther, He's Mordecai's courage
In Job, the timeless redeemer
In Psalms, He is our morning song

In Proverbs, wisdom's cry
Ecclesiastes, the time and season
In the Song of Solomon, He is the lover's dream

He is, He is, HE IS!

In Isaiah, He's Prince of Peace
Jeremiah, the weeping prophet
In Lamentations, the cry for Israel
Ezekiel, He's the call from sin
In Daniel, the stranger in the fire

In Hosea, He is forever faithful
In Joel, He's the Spirits power
In Amos, the arms that carry us
In Obadiah, He's the Lord our Savior
In Jonah, He's the great missionary

In Micah, the promise of peace
In Nahum, He is our strength and our shield
In Habakkuk and Zephaniah, He's pleading for revival
In Haggai, He restores a lost heritage
In Zechariah, our fountain

In Malachi, He is the son of righteousness rising with healing in His wings

He is, He is, HE IS!

In Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, He is God, Man, Messiah
In the book of Acts, He is fire from heaven
In Romans, He's the grace of God
In Corinthians, the power of love
In Galatians, He is freedom from the curse of sin

Ephesians, our glorious treasure
Philippians, the servants heart
In Colossians, He's the Godhead Trinity

In Timothy, Titus, Philemon He's our mediator and our faithful Pastor

In Hebrews, the everlasting covenant
In James, the one who heals the sick.
In First and Second Peter, he is our Shepherd
In John and in Jude, He is the lover coming for His bride
In the Revelation, He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords

He is, He is, HE IS!

The prince of peace
The Son of man
The Lamb of God
The great I AM

He's the alpha and omega
Our God and our Savior
He is Jesus Christ the Lord
and when time is no more
He is, HE IS!
