His Robes For Mine - New Song of the Month


Check out this man's video of his daughters singing this new hymn. The hymn was written by a student at BJU, who makes the sheet music (as well as a second ending with key change) available at no cost at http://www.churchworksmedia.com/hymns/his-robes-for-mine-text/


His robes for mine: O wonderful exchange!
Clothed in my sin, Christ suffered ‘neath God’s rage.
Draped in His righteousness, I’m justified.
In Christ I live, for in my place He died.
Chorus:  
I cling to Christ, and marvel at the cost:
Jesus forsaken, God estranged from God.
Bought by such love, my life is not my own.
My praise-my all-shall be for Christ alone.
His robes for mine: what cause have I for dread?
God’s daunting Law Christ mastered in my stead.
Faultless I stand with righteous works not mine,
Saved by my Lord’s vicarious death and life.
His robes for mine: God’s justice is appeased.
Jesus is crushed, and thus the Father’s pleased.
Christ drank God’s wrath on sin, then cried “‘Tis done!”
Sin’s wage is paid; propitiation won.
His robes for mine: such anguish none can know.
Christ, God’s beloved, condemned as though His foe.
He, as though I, accursed and left alone;
I, as though He, embraced and welcomed home!

Love Me First

Love Me First
~ Author Unknown

Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone, to have a deep soul relationship with another, to be loved thoroughly and exclusively. But God says to the Christian, “No, not until you are satisfied, fulfilled and content with being loved by Me alone. Not until you have given yourself totally unreservedly to Me, until you have an intensely personal unique relationship with Me alone. Not until you have discovered that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found. Then will you be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you.

You will never be united with another until you are united with Me, exclusive of anyone or anything else, exclusive of any other desires or longings. I want you to stop planning, stop wishing, and allow Me to give you the most thrilling plan existing, one that you cannot imagine. I want you to have the best. Please allow Me to bring it to you. Just keep watching Me, expecting greatest things. Keep experiencing the satisfactions that I am. Keep listening and learning the things I tell you.

You just wait, that’s all. Don’t be anxious, don’t worry. Don’t look around at the things other have gotten or that I’ve given them. Don’t look at things you think you want. And then, when you’re ready, and until the one I have for you is ready – I am working even this moment to have both of you ready at the same time – until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me and the life I prepared for you, you won’t be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me, and is thus the perfect love. And dear one, I want you to have this most wonderful love. I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with Me. I want you to enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting union of beauty, perfection, and love that I offer you with Myself.

Know that I love you utterly,
I am Almighty.

2. Don’t be afraid to take a stand for what is right when around worldly people.
3. Don’t try to change them, and don’t let them change you.
4. If they are rude to you, make sure you are not rude to them.
5. They need to see and not hear what a good Christian you have become.
6. You must keep a good attitude.
